The Forst that this article deals with has distinguished itself with the official tag “(Hunsrück)” since 1 June 1970.

Forst, together with the municipalities of Altstrimmig, Liesenich and Mittelstrimmig, belongs to the so-called Strimmiger Berg and lies in the Hunsrück on a hill above the Mörsdorfer Bach (brook) not far from Mastershausen.

As in the Beltheim court, the landlordship was shared among the Electorate of Trier, the County of Sponheim and the House of Braunshorn (later Winneburg and Metternich).
