[1] The village is located in a side valley of the Weil river in the eastern Hintertaunus, surrounded by forest area.

It is the northernmost part of the municipality and is located between the villages of Bermbach (Weilburg) in the north and Ernsthausen in the south.

The feudal lord of Laimbach changed several times; in the 14th and 15th centuries, for example, the Bishopric of Worms was the owner of the village.

At the beginning of April 1933 he was forcibly deposed by SA troops and August Löw was installed as the new mayor.

In the course of the territorial reform in Hesse, on 31 December 1970 the former market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahn district merged voluntarily with the previously independent municipalities of Aulenhausen, Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen to form the new enlarged municipality of Weilmünster.
