The precise date that Dimbach was founded, is entirely unknown, because there are no documents about it,[3] although it originally lay in the eastern part of the duchy of Bavaria.

Dimbach has some late-Gothic church buildings and an old monastery, the Säbnich Monastery discovered in Waldhausen documents dated to the year 1147 in a parish which was a known place of pilgrimage.

Dimbach lies east of the city of Linz and is located at an altitude of 680 metres.

Quarters include Dimbach, Dimbachreith, Großerlau, Hornberg, Kleinerlau, Vorderdimbach and Gassen.

[4] The main church is the Wallsfahrtskirche, a tall white building with a pointy grey roof.
