Religion
Deimberg belonged to the Diocese of Mainz and lay within the parish of Herren-Sulzbach, later described as the Evangelical Parish of Herren-Sulzbach after the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves had introduced the Reformation into their domain in 1556. Until the Thirty Years' War, all the villagers were Evangelical. Later, however, other denominations were tolerated, though without gaining any special importance. The greater part of the population is even today Evangelical. In 1956, the local adherents acquired their own, small church. Formerly, they had had to attend services at the church in Herren-Sulzbach.
