Saint Roch, who is the patron saint of this church, was born in Montpellier, France, in the mid-14th century. He is popularly - next to Saint Sebastian - as the "plague saint". Characteristic of the depiction of Rochus in paintings and as a statue is that he usually indicates a plague bump on his leg; Often a dog can also be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for people suffering from the plague, he himself was sick with it and withdrew into solitude, and provided him with bread every day. The feast day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16.

"Our village has been called Oberscheidweiler since 1693.

In a first documented mention, on August 1st, 1144, King Conrad II of Cochem confirmed in a letter of protection to Abbot Richard von "Sprengkirsbach" that goods were being donated to his monastery by the deceased Count Palatine Wilhelm, including in "Scheida". This documented fact was brilliantly confirmed in 1994 in an impressive 850-year celebration in a festival year under the heading "The village, our future" and properly celebrated with several thousand guests.

However, there is no doubt that the place is much older, as the main Trier-Koblenz route passed through here.

On April 28, 1193, Emperor Heinrich VI. to Boppard the abbot Absalomon of "Sprenkirsbach" possessions, among other things fields, meadows and serfs in "Scheitwilre" ("Scheitewilre").

In another Springiersbach "Weistum" (legal ordinance) from 1506, ownership in "Scheidweiler" ("Scheidtweyler") is mentioned.

In this context, a "Springiersbach mill" is mentioned for the first time from the same year, where the residents of "Scheidweiler" had to have their grain ground.

The village was under the electoral sovereignty of Trier, the Office of Daun, and belonged judicially to the High Court of Strohn. In 1569 our village was called "Uderscheitwiler".

Today's name Oberscheidweiler is mentioned for the first time in tax lists of the years 1654/55!

Likewise a description of the "Springiersbacher Hof" in Oberscheidweiler from the year 1693.

As is well known, when Napoleon and his troops reached the region in 1804/05, the entire church property was secularized. Of course, the land in the "Oberscheidweiler district" was also sold to other owners. The "Springiersbacher Hof", the former inn Koenen, also changed hands with the land belonging to it."
