History
editWerbach is first mentioned in the year 1248. In 1563 the plague killed almost 500 people in Werbach. During the Campaign of the Main near Werbach one of the last combats of the Austro-Prussian War took place. On 24 July 1866 troops of Baden fought against troops of Oldenburg. The troops of Oldenburg, allies of the Prussians, occupied Werbach.
According to a municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg the municipalities of Werbach, Wenkheim, Werbachhausen and Brunntal were combined to the new municipality of Werbach on 31 December 1973. Gamburg and Niklashausen followed on 1 January 1975.[3]
