Raversbeuren borders directly on Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, and is a residential community with an agricultural character.

The oldest evidence of human presence is a stone axe that was found within Raversbeuren’s municipal limits.

Three further settlements existed not far from the municipal limit, among which was the great manor on what is now the estate lands.

Later, sometime before 1125, it passed, likely with Enkirch, as it was a branch of that parish, into the hereditary ownership of the Count of Sponheim.

From about the same time comes the “small” bell bearing the Latin inscription in uppercase Gothic letters: MAGISTER CONRADUS DE WORMATIA FECIT * MARIA VOCOR* (“Master Conrad from Worms made me; I am called Maria”).

In 1511, the Ravengiersburg Monastery, whose prior at this time was Kaspar von Grünberg, had its considerable monastic holding at Raversbeuren, measuring 120 Morgen, leased.

The later hereditary leaseholding family remained the only Catholics in Raversbeuren through the introduction of the Reformation in 1545 and 1557, even centuries later.

For a few decades there were boundary disputes and protracted court proceedings (1549 to 1553) with the municipality of Briedel, which apparently went all the way to the Reichskammergericht before being resolved.

According to old taxation registers, the Counts Kratz of Scharffenstein also had minor holdings – meadows – in Raversbeuren.

After the Counts of Sponheim had died out in 1437, and after their heritable holdings had been shared out, the eastern stretch of Raversbeuren's municipal area became a three-state common point, shared by Baden, the Electorate of Trier and the Electorate of the Palatinate.

A village record from 11 July 1727 gives a thorough report about how the Rhinegraves’ and Waldgraves’ subjects were transferred to the Elector Palatine (Heidelberg).

Of 29 townsmen, 26 were named all together, 9 of them Palatine subjects, 13 of them Obersteinisch (that is, belonging to the Rhinegraves and Waldgraves at Castle Dhaun) and 6 Sponheimisch (likely the Veldenz-Zweibrücken line).

Under Napoleon, after an end had been put to the tangle of small lordships in the wake of the French Revolution, all monastic lands were auctioned off and became farmland.

Despite the general state of neediness, it was in this time that the old watermain, a channel first mentioned about 1670, was renovated with masonry pipes.

It had been bought in 1871, after the formation of a village corporation, along with a traction engine from Heinrich Lanz AG of Mannheim.

Nevertheless, actual preparations for rationalizing the confusion of property lines in the municipality did not begin until 1912.

Even during the war, infrastructure improvements continued: the waterworks were expanded by a newly bored spring.

Promised assistance from the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate, to which Raversbeuren had belonged since 1946, never materialized.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure in chief a bell on a yoke and two ears of rye conjoined on a stem leafed of two Or, and in base a wellhouse with a well boom with pail argent.

The estate complex, not counting outlying buildings, covered an area of 41 × 26 m. More than 30 rooms were laid bare.

It has existed since 1977 and, given its broad range of musical genres, has been called the “Woodstock on the Hunsrück”.
