Homberg (German pronunciation: [ˈhɔmbɛʁk] (listen)) 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 Lauterecken-Wolfstein. Within the region governed by the Gericht auf der Höhe (“Court on the Heights”), a parish likely existed in the Early Middle Ages whose hub was a church in the Kirrweiler area and to which Homberg, too, belonged. It would have lain within the Archbishopric of Mainz. Later, the hub shifted to the village of Herren-Sulzbach with its church. With the introduction of the Reformation into the Waldgravial-Rhinegravial House of Grumbach, the Protestant parish of Herren-Sulzbach was founded in 1556. Homberg has belonged ever since to this parish. Until the Thirty Years' War, everybody in the village was Protestant. After the war, other Christian denominations were tolerated, but they did not earn any special significance. To this day, most inhabitants are Evangelical. More information...
