Blaubach is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Kusel-Altenglan, whose seat is in Kusel. Blaubach is also a state-recognized tourist community. Even before the time of the Reformation, the villagers were members of the parish of Kusel. In the time of the Reformation came a general conversion to Martin Luther’s teachings, at the behest of the Count Palatine of Zweibrücken and in line with the precept of cuius regio, eius religio. In 1588, Count Palatine (Duke) Johannes I decreed yet another conversion, this time to John Calvin’s Reformed teachings. With the greater freedom of movement that came after the Thirty Years' War, the prince-electors once more allowed all denominations, although for Blaubach, the effect was quite little. In 1961, still only 3% of the inhabitants professed Catholicism, while almost 6% had left the church or gave no religion. Today all inhabitants adhering to any of the major denominations belong to the corresponding parishes in the town of Kusel. More information...
