Clockwise from the north, Limbach's neighbours are the municipalities of Merxheim, Kirschroth, Hundsbach, Schweinschied, Hoppstädten, Otzweiler, Becherbach bei Kirn and Heimweiler, all of which but for Hoppstädten, which lies in the neighbouring Kusel district, likewise lie within the Bad Kreuznach district.

Together with Becherbach and Schmidthachenbach, Limbach was one of the biggest places in the Amt of Naumburg, which in the 18th century fell under the lordship of the Margraves of Baden.

After the Napoleonic French had been driven out, Becherbach once again became the mayoral seat for these municipalities, which now became part of the Oberamt of Meisenheim in Hesse-Homburg.

During this Landgravial time, Evangelical inhabitants built a new Gothic Revival church in the years 1858 to 1860 to plans laid out by Meisenheim architect Krausch.
