As to Laubach's ecclesiastical history, a chapel in the village was named for the first time in 1211, and then again in 1217. It belonged to the Archbishopric of Trier. About 1250, one of the Archbishop's directories named various rights, among them a “cathedral tax” that the Archbishop had the right to levy at "Loupach" in the rural deaconry of Keimta (now Zell). From the early 14th century comes a reference to the "Laubacher Gericht" (“Laubach Court”), which was made up not only of Laubach, but also of the neighbouring villages of Bubach, Ebschied and Horn along with a part of Budenbach and the now forsaken villages of Heinzert, Scheuf, Steilheim, Allenzhausen, Steinkülz, which clearly must still have been inhabited at this time. In 1302, Laubach and its immediate neighbours, including the ones that have since vanished, were granted Imperial immediacy.
