In Napoleonic times, Herborn was grouped into the Mairie (“Mayoralty”) of Herrstein, whose fate it then shared until 1 July 1910 when it was grouped along with Veitsrodt into the Bürgermeisterei (“Mayoralty”) of Idar-Land, which administered it until 1933. In that year, on 1 October, the Bürgermeisterei of Idar-Land was dissolved and Herborn was once again grouped into the Bürgermeisterei of Herrstein, to which it still belongs, although in the meantime, the old Bürgermeisterei has been restructured into a Verbandsgemeinde.Herborn’s history
