In Prüm Abbey ’s 893 directory of holdings , the '' Prümer Urbar '' , a church in Odenbach was mentioned for the first time , one consecrated to Saint Peter . It is one of the oldest in the whole Glan valley . In 1683 , the chapel fell to the pickaxe after falling into disrepair . On the same spot arose the Late Baroque hall church in 1763-1764 . The churchtower was built in three steps : the ground floor was built in the 13th century , the second level in 1508 , and the third in 1666 along with its three eight-sided cupolae , built one on top of the other . It is believed that the Prüm proprietary church lost its independence under Archbishop of Mainz Adalbert II ( 1138-1141 ) and was placed under Mainz ecclesiastical jurisdiction by reason of Verdun 's proprietary church rights and the Frankish Imperial partitions in the 9th century . Both Medard ’s and Odenbach ’s churches thereby passed into the ownership of the monastery at Disibodenberg . Under Archbishop Gerlach of Mainz ( 1353-1371 ) , the Church of Odenbach got its independence back on 15 June 1367 , and has held onto it without interruption ever since . In 1548 , the parish became Lutheran , and in 1588 , Reformed . In the last fourth of the 18th century , however , a number of Catholics and Lutherans migrated to the village , forming both a Catholic and a Lutheran parish , both of which sought a simultaneum . Any disagreements over church use were settled by the applicable sections of the Treaty of Ryswick ( 30 October 1697 ) , but differences between Lutherans and Calvinists did not come to an end until 1818 , when the two denominations united to form the Palatine State Church . Since 1970 , the Evangelical parish of Odenbach ( Odenbach , Adenbach , Ginsweiler ) has been united with the parish of Gangloff ( Gangloff , Roth , Becherbach , Reiffelbach ) . Several local clergymen have earned regional acclaim ( see '' ' Famous people ' '' below ) . For a while , the Jewish share of the population was quite big . After the great fire of 1733 , the Palatinate-Zweibrücken '' Judenschultheiß '' ( “ reeve of the Jews ” ) Salomon Meyer acquired a burnt-out spot on Kirchhofstraße where he built a prayer parlour . After Meyer 's death , his widow sold the building in 1802 to the Jewish religious community , who used it for worship until 1938 , the time of Kristallnacht . In 1989 , the '' Förderverein zur Erhaltung der Synagoge '' ( “ Promotional Association for Preserving the Synagogue ” ) acquired the run-down building , now under monumental protection , from private ownership and restored it with the Association 's own means and also government funding . Worth seeing are the wall paintings , which are now once more visible
