 The combined village has only begun to spread away from the Glan in the very latest times with the opening of five new building areas.Ulmet, once a rich farming village, was, before the Thirty Years' War, the biggest municipality in the middle Glan valley, and the governing one, being as it was the seat of an "Unteramt".The municipal area reached most of the way to the actual village sites of Erdesbach, Oberalben-Mayweilerhof and Rathsweiler.
