 The first documentary mention came as early as 932 or 952 in the addendum to the Polyptych of St. Remi, in which a place called "Kapellen" is named.What was meant by this was the "Flurskapelle", a chapel that still stands today, then the hub of a great parish.In the early 12th century, the village passed to the County of Veldenz, whose counts exercised the "Schutzvogtei" over the so-called "Remigiusland".
