Wiebelsheim might have first arisen sometime between 800 and 1000 as one of the settlements in the Hunsrück's heights, as other places with the placename ending —heim are known to have been founded by the Franks in that time.

Agricultural businesses, both fulltime operations and those worked as sidelines, have been disappearing, and farm buildings have been either converted or torn down.

Even the building of the Autobahn A 61 helped see to it that farmers became employees, commuting to jobs in Rheinböllen, Simmern, Koblenz or the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region.

Spurred on by the excellent location right on the A 61, work began in the late 1980s on the opening up of the Wiebelsheim Industrial Park.

The new jobs that arose from this and the new house building that also took place brought about a 25% rise in population over only a few years, to 500 as of 2006.

This community centre serves the local club Kirchenchor Cäcilia (church choir), the Wiebelsheim volunteer fire brigade, the table tennis club, the women’s association, the seniors’ group, the youth group and all inhabitants, young and old.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess vert a dove argent and Or two keys per saltire, the wards to chief and turned out gules.
