History
As part of Hesse's municipal reforms, the communities of Schwalbach, Laufdorf, Niederquembach, Niederwetz, Oberquembach and Oberwetz merged on 1 January 1972 and chose the historic name Schöffengrund, which does back to the old court region, the so-called "Quembacher Gericht", which was held at the "stone" near Oberquembach. This was where the Schöffen ("jurymen") from distinguished families in the villages that belonged to the court met for the court's sittings. Grund is German for "ground".
