The municipality lies in the Hunsrück and belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Traben-Trarbach, whose seat is in the like-named town.

It is therefore easy to see that Palatinate-Birkenfeld, the more influential of the Hinder County’s two joint lords eventually managed to assert itself, at least in the ecclesiastical sphere.

Only in this light can one understand the Reverend Caspar Streccius’s words, which he wrote upon leaving Lötzbeuren in 1632 or 1633 as a result of the dispute, to take up the parish clergyman’s post at Irmenach: Hierauf nahm ich mir in den Sinn, Zu Lützbeurn forth zu bleiben imm', Denn sehr ein ruchlos Volk es ist, Lässt sich regir'n zu keiner Frist.

Sind vielerley Herrschaft unterthon, Von keinem sich wollen regiren lohn.

The area passed into Prussian possession and Lötzbeuren was assigned to the Bürgermeisterei of Büchenbeuren in the new Zell district.

The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess Or a plough azure and gules a gridiron argent.

The tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) refer to the Hinder County of Sponheim, which was involved with the village for centuries.
