Kinderbeuern lies in the Alf valley at the foot of the Kondelwald, a forested hill region.

The outlying centre of Hetzhof lies not far north on the Kammerbach.

Kinderbeuern's neighbours in the Alf valley are Bausendorf, Bengel and Sengwald, likewise in the Alf valley, but an outlying centre of the municipality of Kinheim on the Moselle.

Originally, Kinderbeuern (1296: Kynheymerbüren) was an outlying settlement in the Alf valley of the municipality of Kinheim on the Moselle and until 1740 was united with Kinheim[3] Kinderbeuern had its first documentary mention in 1296.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[4] The municipality's arms might be described thus: Or an eagle bicapitate displayed sable armed and langued gules, on his breast the letters CR of the field, between the heads a crown of the field, in a chief of the third three crowns of the first.
