Reisbach is the name of two villages in Southern Germany:
- Reisbach (Saar), a small town in the Bundesland Saarland
- Reisbach (Vils), a city in Bavaria, in the district of Dingolfing-Landau
Reisbach is a small town, belonging to the district of Saarlouis in the Bundesland Saarland.
The village was formed on April 1, 1937, when the two townships of Reisweiler and Labach were joint together as "Reisbach".
Reisweiler was first mentioned as "Radisville" in 1154. The Germanic name "Radi" means "father of the town council", which, together with the "-ville" suffix meaning "farmland", yields the meaning of "Reisweiler" as "Radi's Farmland".
The first written documentation about Labach stems from the 13th century, when it was known under the name "Loupach" or "Loupbach". The name is composed from "Loup" meaning "foliage" (German "Laub") and "Bach" meaning "creek".
The name of the consolidated village, thus means "Radi's Creek".
Since January 1, 1974, Reisbach forms the community of Saarwellingen, together with Saarwellingen and Schwarzenholz with a combined 14,000 inhabitants.
Reisbach is the name of a municipality in Bavaria. It belongs to the administrative region of Niederbayern.
The Reisbach is a stream that is a good five kilometres long and is a left tributary of the Wieslauter in the eastern Wasgau, the southern part of the Palatine Forest in Germany and northern part of the Vosges in France.
