 While Frutzweiler remained in the "Bürgermeisterei" (“Mayoralty”) of Quirnbach and in the "Landkommissariat" of Kusel, Steinbach now belonged to the "Bürgermeisterei" of Glan-Münchweiler in the Canton of Waldmohr in the "Landkommissariat" of Homburg.The homestead of Neumühle in Steinbach's west, originally part of the municipality, was merged with Brücken.A Steinbach inhabitant, Isidor Triefus, brought the craft of diamond cutting to the Western Palatinate in 1888, thereby laying the groundwork for the region's economic upswing in the earlier half of the 20th century.
