Over the last one thousand and more years, Kümbdchen's history has been tightly bound to the town of Simmern.

The inhabitants were “outer townsmen” (Außenbürger in German) of Simmern, putting them under the town council and court.

As a constituent community (Stadtteil) of Simmern, Kümbdchen had an elected representative on town council.

Names that cropped up a hundred or more years ago are still found now, such as Frank, Konrad, Jungherz, Berg, Schmitt and Schüler.

The gold and blue “chequy” field on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the “Further” County of Sponheim, under whose authority Kümbdchen once lay.

The municipality's mainly agricultural structure finds expression in the green field on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side.

The silver “bend wavy” with which this is charged symbolizes a brook and refers to Kümbdchen's origins.

[6] The village square in Kümbdchen, which was dedicated in 1992, is laid out with similar symbolism to what is seen in the municipality's arms.

[7] The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments:[8] Cyclists, hikers and inline skaters can use the Schinderhannes-Radweg (cycle path), which runs right through the municipal area.

Four new building zones have been laid out over the years: “In der Au” (1962),“Gartenstrasse” (1973), “Im Gieren” (1979) and “Am Külzer Pfad” (1996, in three sections).
