The community lies in the Westerwald between Koblenz and Siegen on the edge of the Kannenbäckerland, a region known for its ceramics industry. Hundsdorf belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Ransbach-Baumbach, a kind of collective municipality.
In 1243, Hundsdorf had its first documentary mention as Hunisdorp.
The municipal council is made up of 8 council members who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 13 June 2004.
Each year, between Ascension and Whitsun, a Western town is built here in which Western and Indian clubs recreate the atmosphere of the Wild West for a few days under authentic conditions.
In early August each year, Hundsdorf holds its kermis.
