[4] The old village core near where the Röhrbach empties into the Blaubach spread out considerably, bit by bit, first up the dale through which the Röhrbach flows, also up the Blaubach's right bank, and then downstream as well to the mountain slopes (Matzenberg), later spreading, too, to the left bank with extensive new building areas (Am Äckerchen).

In the older built-up area are found the farmhouses that typify the West Palatinate (Einfirsthaus – literally a house with one roof ridge).

On the road going towards Mayweilerhof, one comes first to the renowned Hotel Reweschnier on the brook's left bank, and then to the Rothengründerhof, an Aussiedlerhof (that is, postwar outlying agricultural settlement) that arose in 1957.

[5] In the late 19th century, while a pit was being dug for a new building on Matzenberg, workers stumbled on some potsherds, likely from an urn buried more than 2,000 years earlier by the dale's Celtic inhabitants.

Further ceramic vessels – grave goods – were found in recent times while a house was being built on Am Äckerchen (a street).

These witnesses to early settlers in the dale have also been joined by further potsherds from Roman times, which were unearthed in the 1950s when the Rothengründerhof was being built.

The lane near Blaubach's municipal area leading from Körborn to Mayweilerhof is to this day called Römerstraße – “Roman Road”.

[7] In the 16th century, as a result of Martin Luther's Reformation, a new order in religious life came about for the whole Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, and thereby also for the small village of Blaubach.

One legend, however, says that the farmers in Blaubach, which lay just across the river from Kusel, wrung all their cocks’ necks so that the Croats would take no notice of the village.

Whether or not the people of Blaubach momentarily met with any success in doing this, on the whole, only the odd person in the villages around Kusel survived the onslaught.

These newcomers revived the village, although King Louis XIV's wars of conquest brought further death and destruction.

In 1871, the municipality received an endowment from a villager who had emigrated to the United States amounting to more than $1,000, the interest from which was to be paid out to the poor each year.

The donation spread some cheer, but because of the formula whereby the money was to be distributed, it was both a boon and a bane, causing considerable disquiet.

Workers, officials and businesspeople who had jobs in Kusel settled in Blaubach, thus bringing a change in the population structure.

This has brought along with it a lively collaboration in the furthering of a harmonious community and of cultural life, and also made people determined to work towards important goals in the village's development.

Within German-speaking Europe are also found other brooks called the Blaubach, which are distinguished (according to writer Ernst Christmann) by having especially clear water.

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.

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.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure a goat statant argent attired and unguled Or.

It is, however, unknown what symbolic meaning underlay this seal, but it is likely a reference to the local legend of the roebuck and the stag beetle.

According to this legend, a prince-elector demanded of the villagers a roebuck, but instead got a stag beetle, both of these creatures having been known at the time in the local speech as Bock.

Foremost among these is the Blaubacher Dorftheater with its productions by the amateur players, once guided by the late Franz Dietrich, who himself wrote a few plays for the troupe.

News of this amateur troupe's productions of self-written plays from village life and local history has already been broadcast on television.

Eight of Franz Dietrich's plays have been produced: The sport and game association (Sport- und Spielvereinigung), from which sprang national-level footballer Miroslav Klose, is said to be the village's biggest club.

The kermis (church consecration festival, locally known as the Blaubacher Kerwe, or Reweschnierkerwe) is held on the second Sunday in August.

Along with ceremonial speeches, there is also the long enduring Frühschoppen (roughly “morning pint”) and the custom of stamping out pretzels.

In this Whitsun custom, children and youths go through the village in a group with a bundle of flowers, calling at houses and demanding donations.

Another custom that has been revived is the Gemarkungsumgang (“walking round the municipal area”) in which a great number of the local population takes part.

[21] There is an interesting statistic dealing with the development of Blaubach's economic structure, according to which 95% of the population still made their living at agriculture in 1882, while the other 5% were all employed in the village itself or nearby.

Success came with three books of sketches in which people of the Westrich country, an historic region that encompasses areas in both Germany and France, are humorously glossed.
