Found on the Rossberg's summit were three block-shaped stones that were dedicated to Mercury and his mother Maia, two Roman coins and tiles and a stamp.

The whole of what is now the municipality of Becherbach lay under the Counts of Veldenz, and after they died out, under the House of Wittelsbach (the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken and later the Kingdom of Bavaria).

The Antisemitic newspaper, Der Stürmer, however, wrote in April 1936 that the populace of Odenbach, Becherbach and the surrounding area were to some extent still “strongly vernagelt (variously translated as “stubborn”, “narrowminded” or “slow-witted”) and behind the moon (roughly “behind the times”)”.

This arose from a Jewish woman’s burial that was attended by various inhabitants – whom Der Stürmer named in the article – of the villages mentioned.

[4] Under Wolfgang, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken, the so-called “Odenbach Seam” (coal) was discovered, which was worked in, among other places, Reiffelbach.

In 1799 in Becherbach itself (now the main centre of the merged municipality), a limestone mine was worked on the south slopes towards Reipoltskirchen.

On 22 January 2011, Becherbach's (the main village's) whole population had to be evacuated from their homes for 16 hours when a local barn was found to contain, according to Der Spiegel, a “truckload”[5] of machine guns, hand grenades and a great amount of explosives.

The magazine Bild reported that Kurt liked to wear a uniform with SS insignia, and that there were photographs of his friends who were similarly heavily armed.

Roth's unofficial arms show a tree standing on a three-knolled hill (a charge called a Dreiberg in German heraldry) flanked by crossed miner's hammers on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side and a ploughshare on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side.

Gangloff has no arms, unofficial or otherwise, but the St. Gangolf Pipes & Drums club (bagpipes) has a coat of arms charged with Saint Gangulphus's image, a steed for the Rossberg (whose name literally means “Steed Mountain”) that lies between Becherbach and Gangloff and a holy spring (one of Gangulphus's attributes), thus symbolizing the club's home village.

The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments:[13] Gangloff has an independent football club that is also active in youth work.
