In 1845, workers discovered traces of a Roman farmstead in the Hasselt forest district, showing that people had already settled here over 1,000 years ago. This discovery is a reminder of the site's long history and its importance in the ancient world.

Rambach was probably founded in the middle of the 12th century. However, the oldest evidence is not found until 1264, when two tenants named "Heinricus and Cunradus de Rombach" are mentioned in the property register of the Altmünster monastery in Mainz.

In 1441, Rambach finally became the property of the Landgraves of Nassau. However, the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) took its toll on the village. Many people died or fled, and the fields became overgrown as the few survivors were barely able to farm them.

In 1673, Rambach burned down almost completely in a devastating fire. The villagers were already suffering from the effects of the war at this time. The fire not only destroyed houses, but also valuable documents, meaning that many records about the history of the village were lost.

In 1778, Rambach was hit by a major flood that caused extensive damage. The church bells also had an eventful history: the oldest bell that can still be heard today dates back to 1816. Two other bells had to be handed in for melting down during the Second World War.

After the German War of 1866, Rambach became part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Under Prussian administration, important infrastructural improvements were implemented, such as the construction of new roads and the expansion of transport links, which gave the town a new significance.

As early as the 1860s - in the course of the Prussian education reforms and the introduction of compulsory education - schooling in Rambach was significantly improved and further developed. In 1902, Rambach received a new school building, which was used well into the 20th century.

In 1891, the foundation stone was laid for the Protestant church, which still exists today. A year later, on September 15, 1892, it was consecrated.

Together with Bierstadt, Dotzheim, Erbenheim, Frauenstein, Heßloch, Igstadt and Kloppenheim, Rambach was incorporated into Wiesbaden on April 1, 1928.

The Second World War left deep wounds: On February 2 and 3, 1945, Rambach was heavily bombed. Thirty people lost their lives and many houses were destroyed. Reconstruction began soon afterwards, and in the 1950s the village underwent its first infrastructure renewal.

The actual reconstruction of Rambach began in the decades after the war. In the 1950s, the water tower was built on the Bingert, as well as the fire station and the forester's lodge. In 1958, the Adolf Reichwein School was opened - an important step in the educational history of the village.

After the war, the population of Rambach grew to around 2,373 people by 1950. However, as in many rural areas, the number of farms declined. More and more people commuted to work in Wiesbaden, which shaped the transformation into a popular suburb.

Progress: In 1902, the old kerosene street lamps were replaced by electric lights and in 1904, the central water supply in Rambach went into operation.
