 In the time that followed, tight bonds were forged with other counties through marriage, particularly with Leiningen-Westerburg through Johann’s daughter-in-law Amalia’s second marriage.The Imperial county, and thereby Nußbach, too, became Reformed.Through all the changes that characterized the Imperial county’s history during the 17th and 18th centuries, Nußbach always remained with the “core” Imperial county with its centre of Reipoltskirchen and thereby shared the same history as the other villages of Rathskirchen, Reichsthal, Hefersweiler, Relsberg, Morbach, Finkenbach-Gersweiler, Schönborn, Dörnbach and half of Rudolphskirchen until the lordship was dissolved in the course of the French Revolution.
