Weisel is a municipality in the district of Rhein-Lahn, in Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany.

However, the place may have existed much earlier, as the financial income now transferred came from Wezilo, who was Archbishop of Mainz from 1084 to 1088.

The medieval settlement, along with Dörscheid and Kaub, belonged to the Lords of Falkenstein until Louis II of the Palatinate bought it from them in 1277 and 1289.

On December 2, 1802, after more than 500 years, Weisel's membership in the Electoral Palatinate ended as it was dissolved.

In 1810, such a catastrophe reduced 63 buildings (this was half of the village) to rubble.
