The village stretches over the edge of a mountain hollow at an elevation of some 380 m above sea level affording a lovely view over the northwest Palatine uplands.

The Deimberger Höfchen, an outlying homestead, lies at 345 m above sea level almost 1 km northeast of the village on the Offenbach-Homberg road, Kreisstraße 63.

[4] The broader Deimberg area was likely settled in prehistoric and Roman times, although no archaeological finds confirming this have yet come to light in either the village or the outlying countryside.

In 1336, Deimberg had its first documentary mention in a listing of those who were liable to pay contributions to Saint Valentine’s Church (Valentinskirche) in Niedereisenbach (today a constituent community of Glanbrücken).

The actual Latin text states: "Item Petrus dictus Geyst de Dimberg et Jutta sua legitima dimidiam libram cerae super agrum dictum Hezzilsbirchen" ("Petrus, called Geyst from Dimberg and his wife Jutta had to deliver half a pound of grain harvested on the field called Hezzilsbirchen"), thus mentioning the village as Dimberg.

Cropping up later were the families Esch and Opp, from among whom sprang Schöffen (roughly "lay jurists") and censors.

The Gericht auf der Höhe was named when, in 1258, Castle Grumbach and its outlying lands were transferred to the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves of Dhaun.

The villages within the court region, among which was Dynberg, appeared in 1363 in a document about the pledging of these lands to the County of Sponheim-Starkenburg.

Then in a 1443 document, according to which the "poor people of Grumbach"were transferred to Frederick III, Count of Veldenz and Sponheim, the name Dyemberg cropped up.

More precisely, the document dealt with a pledge that Rhinegrave Gottfried confirmed for Stephen, Count Palatine of Simmern-Zweibrücken, who inherited his father-in-law's territories when Frederick III died in 1444.

As part of this state, it passed in 1834 to the Kingdom of Prussia, which made this area into the Sankt Wendel district.

Later, after the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles stipulated, among other things, that 26 of the Sankt Wendel district's 94 municipalities had to be ceded to the British- and French-occupied Saar.

After the Second World War, the village at first lay within the Regierungsbezirk of Koblenz in the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Today's local vernacular form, which matches the name as it appears on a 1797 map, arose through the formation of an anaptyctic vowel –i– in the root word.

With the disappearance of the intervocalic –d– arose the syllable Dîn–, and then with assimilation to the following –b–, the –n– shifted to –m–, yielding the form Dîmberg.

Therefore, the village's name is reckoned to mean "Dido’s Mountain", even if this presumably Frankish man has been lost in the mists of time.

The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion, is an heraldic device formerly borne by the region's lords, the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves.

[19] The village's inhabitants earlier earned their livelihoods mainly at agriculture, but also sometimes by working the sandstone quarries nearby.

From the late 19th century until the outbreak of the Second World War, many men left the village to seek their living as travelling musicians (Wandermusikanten).

[21] In the Evangelical parish of Sulzbach, the clergy was already making efforts in the late 16th century, as part of the general effect of the Reformation movement, to teach children to read and write and to have them learn some practical knowledge.

Young farmers could attend agricultural schools in Meisenheim and Baumholder, and after local governmental restructuring in 1968, also in Kusel.
