 The municipality lies about 35 km west of Kaiserslautern on both sides of the Steinbach, which rises in the village's west end and then flows about one kilometre down to the Hodenbach, where the two streams together become the Henschbach.The constituent community of Steinbach lies on the brook's right bank and the constituent community of Frutzweiler on the left.Steinbach therefore does not lie right on the Glan, which makes its name suffix “am Glan” a bit misleading.
