The municipality lies in the central Hunsrück in the Simmerbach valley, roughly 5 km east of Kirchberg and 6 km southwest of Simmern. The village’s core gathers tightly around the monastery church. West of Ravengiersburg, the Kauerbach empties into the Simmerbach. The municipal area measures 6.16 km², of which 2.29 km² is wooded.

Constituent communities

Within Ravengiersburg’s limits is an outlying hamlet named Neuhof.

History

In 974, Ravengiersburg had its first documentary mention. The name comes from Count Rabangar, who in his time built a castle on the steep crags overlooking the Simmerbach. The founding of the Ravengiersburg Augustinian Canonical Foundation goes back to the year 1074. The monastery was founded on the site of the Salian castle of the Counts in the Trechirgau. In the document dealing with land donations to the monastery, the name Hunsruche – Hunsrück – is mentioned for the first time.

In 1410, the monastery and the village passed to the newly created Duchy of Palatinate-Simmern. The monastery grew up to become the greatest landowner between the Moselle and the Nahe. In 1564, however, when the Reformation was introduced into the duchy, the monastery was dissolved; several attempts to revive it all failed. In 1631, a definitive end was put to the Ravengiersburg Monastery in the Thirty Years' War when Swedish troops came and burnt it down. In 1673, the Electorate of Trier became the landholder. Charles III Philip, Elector Palatine had the church that still stands today built between 1718 and 1722. Beginning in 1794, Ravengiersburg lay under French rule. In 1814 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
