Only under French rule was the "Mark Dhronecken" dissolved, and the Mayoralties ("Mairies") of Talling and Thalfang came into being. To the Mayoralty of Thalfang also belonged the villages of Bäsch, Burtscheid, Deuselbach, Dhronecken, Etgert, Hilscheid, Immert, Malborn, Rorodt and a place called Röderbach, which was forsaken about 1900. However, only 19 years later, once the Prussians held sway in the region, the Mayoralties of Talling and Thalfang were united into an entity called the "Amt" of Thalfang. Since 1947, Thalfang has belonged to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. On 7 June 1969, the "Ortsgemeinde" of Bäsch was amalgamated with Thalfang. In the years from 1969 to 1972, the "Ortsgemeinden" of Gräfendhron, Horath, Merschbach, Büdlich, Breit and Heidenburg were grouped together with Thalfang to form the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Thalfang am Erbeskopf.
