[5] Clockwise from the north, Kirschroth's neighbours are the municipalities of Meddersheim, Bärweiler, Hundsbach, Limbach and Merxheim, all of which likewise lie within the Bad Kreuznach district.

In 1239, there was a serious dispute between the Archbishop and the counts in the Nahe area who opposed the ecclesiastical prince's quest for power in what they considered their domain.

The local lordship over Kirschroth changed many times within the Waldgravial – and beginning in 1408 Waldgravial-Rhinegravial – family, because individual lines sometimes died out, arising from which were complicated divisions of inheritance.

After the French had been driven out and Napoleon had been definitively defeated, there came a short transitional time, this mairie, now called a Bürgermeisterei (meaning the same thing in German) passed under the terms of the Congress of Vienna to the new Oberamt of Meisenheim within the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg, passing once again along with this in 1866 to the Grand Dukes of Hesse-Darmstadt.

[6] In 1990, Kirschroth placed third at the state level in the contest Unser Dorf soll schöner werden (“Our village should become lovelier”).

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Chequy gules and Or a bend argent, thereon a fox passant, in his mouth a bunch of grapes slipped and leafed of one, all proper.

[10] The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments:[11] Running to Kirschroth from the east is Kreisstraße 62, and passing out of the village to the west is Bärweilerweg, which unaccountably leads to Limbach, not Bärweiler.
