Beginning in the late 15th century, the village was called by its modern name, Veitsrodt. Also from this time on, it always belonged to the "Amt" of Wildenburg, until French Revolutionary/Napoleonic times. For centuries, Veitsrodt had a "Schultheiß" and a clergyman. In 1798, Veitsrodt was grouped by the French occupational authorities into the "Mairie" (“Mayoralty”) of Herrstein in the canton of Herrstein. After Napoleon’s downfall and the Congress of Vienna, Veitsrodt became German again, but still remained in the same mayoralty, now known as the "Bürgermeisterei" of Herrstein. In 1815 the village passed to Prussia and in 1817 to the Principality of Birkenfeld, an exclave of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, most of whose territory was in what is now northwest Germany, with a coastline on the North Sea. From 1910 to 1933 it belonged to the "Bürgermeisterei" of Idar-Land, before being transferred back to the Mayoralty (now called "Amtsbürgermeisterei") of Herrstein.
