Electorate of Trier
The name Hünerbach means that this place was the only village in the "Amt" of Daun in the Electorate of Trier that lay behind ("hinter" in German, or dialectally "hönner", whence "Hüner—") the border brook ("—bach") between the Electorate of Trier and the Electorate of Cologne, the Trierbach. In 1688, the village acquired its first chapel, which was replaced with a new building in 1925-1926.
