The municipality is located 10 km southwest of Kaiserslautern in a natural meadow valley on the western edge of the Palatinate Forest, which merges in this area into the Sickingen Heights.

The community was first documented in 976 when Emperor Otto II gave his vassal Biso, the Bishop of Paderborn, land on the Queidersbach.

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna, the area first came to Austria in June 1815 and was ceded to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 on the basis of the Treaty of Munich.

After the Second World War, Trippstadt was within the French occupation zone of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the administrative district of Pfalz.

In 1972 Queidersbach was incorporated into the newly created collective municipality of Kaiserslautern-Süd during the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform.
