Schnorbach is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis. The tithing district between this stone road and the Simmerbach may have been an old holding of the Lords of Wahlbach, who were related to the Lords of Braunshorn and the Lords of Dick near Grevenbroich, who founded the Cistercian convent of Kumbd.
