The outlying centre of Sengwald is nestled in the Alf valley between Kinderbeuern and the settlement of Ürziger Bahnhof (“Ürzig Railway Station”).

The root word Heim suggests that Kinheim was an early Frankish settlement.

[3] The outlying centre of Kindel across the river was named as early as 1069 as Kennelle, and was later called Kinelle (1304) or Kinnel (1404).

[3] Beginning in 1794, XXX lay under French rule as part of the Département de Rhin-et-Moselle (Rhein-Mosel-Département in German).

In the outlying centre of Kindel, the remnants of a Celtic-Roman estate from the 3rd century were unearthed.

[4] The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Or an eagle bicapitate displayed sable armed and langued gules, on his breast an inescutcheon chequy of sixteen argent and gules, between the heads a royal crown proper.
