Krottelbach 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 Oberes Glantal. Krottelbach belonged from its founding to the village church in Ohmbach, which Count Gerlach V of Veldenz had bequeathed to the Werschweiler Monastery after 1258. During the Reformation, the monastery was dissolved, whereafter some of the now Lutheran villagers still belonged to the parish of Ohmbach, while others belonged to the parish of Konken. In 1588, on Count Palatine Johannes I's orders, the villagers converted to John Calvin’s Reformed teachings. After the Thirty Years’ War, there was supposedly freedom of religion, but on into the 19th century, the inhabitants of Krottelbach remained solidly Reformed, a faith that united with the Lutherans in 1817 in the Protestant Union. Meanwhile, the whole village once again belonged to the parish of Ohmbach. In 1954, the new parish of Herschweiler-Pettersheim was founded within the Deaconry of Kusel, and grouped into this were also Ohmbach, Krottelbach and Langenbach. The village's Catholic minority nowadays belongs to the church at Brücken. There are also small numbers of people in Krottelbach who are adherents of other faiths, or profess none.
