In 1367, Dickesbach had its first documentary mention in a document that contained a list of contributions that the villages of Berschweiler, Dickesbach, Mittelreidenbach, Mörschied, Niederhosenbach, Niederwörresbach and Oberreidenbach in the "Pflege" (literally “care”, but actually a local geopolitical unit) of Niederwörresbach had to make to the "Vogtei" – in chickens. Dickesbach was in the County of Zweibrücken in those days. There are, however, doubts as to whether this was truly the village's first documentary mention. Among others contributing to these doubts was the "Gutsvorsteher" (head of a "Gutsbezirk", or “estate area”) Alfons Hartmann, who wrote in his book "Ergänzung der Chronik des Gutsbezirk Baumholder mit den Chroniken der ehemaligen Einzelgehöfte und Mühlen" (roughly “Supplement to the Estate Area’s Chronicle With Those From the Former Smallholds and Mills”) – on page 31 – that Dickesbach had already been named as a municipality belonging to the parish of Kirchenbollenbach as early as the 13th century. It could even be that Dickesbach's first documentary mention came about 200 years earlier than the mention in the chicken tax document, a copy of which is on hand in the municipality of Dickesbach.
