On 16 October 1299, Womrath had its first documentary mention in an agreement on legal conditions in the Dill area between the Lords of the “Further” and “Hinder” Counties of Sponheim, whose seats were in Bad Kreuznach and Enkirch respectively.

In 1287 came news from Bacharach of the supposed murder of a boy, Werner of Womrath, now widely believed to have been a victim of a sexual crime.

Rumours spread that he had been ritually murdered by Jews on Good Friday (some texts hold that it was Maundy Thursday).

This led to pogroms against Jews along the Middle Rhine valley and to processions of “Christian charity” to Oberwesel, where Werner had lived, and to Womrath, his home village.

The Simmerbach, which flows by Wallenbrück, then formed the border between the Margraviate of Baden and the County of Sponheim, thereby making it a point of interest to anyone on the edges of society.

Between 1934 and 1937, in the time of the Third Reich, Paul Schneider, who was later murdered by the SS at Buchenwald, worked in Womrath as an Evangelical clergyman.
