 At the time of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic annexation, Kreimbach and Kaulbach both belonged to the "Mairie" (“Mayoralty”) of Rothselberg, the Canton of Wolfstein, the Arrondissement of Kaiserslautern and the Department of Mont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German), whose seat was at Mainz.After Napoleon’s defeat and the Congress of Vienna, yet another new territorial order came into force, which saw Kreimbach and Kaulbach grouped into the Kingdom of Bavaria as of 1816.Kaulbach now became the seat of a "Bürgermeisterei" (“mayoralty”), which was moved to Kreimbach in 1955.
