The community lies in the Westerwald between Koblenz and Limburg an der Lahn in the Nassau Nature Park. The community belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Montabaur, a kind of collective municipality.
In 1362, Heilberscheid had its first documentary mention.
The council is made up of 12 council members who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 7 June 2009.
The community's arms show a Madonna in the middle in a grotto with a model of Heilberscheid's Marienkappelle (built 1889-1891). The hornbeam twigs refer to the widespread hornbeams that grow in the Heilberscheid Forest. The background tinctures, red and silver, are from the arms borne by the Electorate of Trier.
The nearest Autobahn interchange is Diez on the A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt), some 5 km away.
