 It is likely that the village arose in the Early Middle Ages, perhaps in the 9th or 10th century.Nußbach originally lay in the Nahegau and thus later passed into the Rhinegraves’ and Raugraves’ ownership, making the village's history comparable to that experienced by other villages throughout the former "Amt" of Grumbach.Hence, Nußbach belonged as of 1140 to the Waldgraviate and beginning in 1263 to the Lordship of Dhaun-Grumbach.
