history

The oldest finds, which indicate a settlement on today's Gösenrother district, date from the first and the beginning of the second century after the birth of Christ. This is indicated by the finds made by the Trier State Museum in 1936 on the road between Gösenroth and Schwerbach (bordering the Laufersweiler district). When clearing the forest, seven barrows were discovered, and when they were opened, an iron ax, several amphora, pots, urns, a spinning mirtle, a pair of fibulae, two coins (one with the image of Nero from 64 to 68) and a bronze bracelet came to light. In the youngest grave (2nd century AD) an iron writing pen was discovered. Remains of a dwelling were also suspected.

Popularly known as "Gesad", the place name developed from Gitzad , Gossenroth , Goesenrat , Goisenrait and Gossenrait to Gösenroth. The meaning of the name is unclear. The ending -roth is of Franconian origin and indicates the emergence around the turn of the millennium through clearing .

On May 5, 1367, the lords of Senheim were mentioned as lords of the place. On June 14, 1464, Wilhelm Vogt von Senheim and his sister Eva von Senheim, who was married to Werner von Löwenstein, ceded the town of Goisenrait to the Wild and Rhine Counts .

On the old route between Rhaunen and Hochscheid (field name Gonsenbach), remnants of a desert could still be seen until 1938 . In 1429 this is called the Batzerter Hof owned by Bechtolff von Sötern.

The oldest surviving building is the Hof (Giehl) built by Rheingraf Ludwig Wilhelm in 1654. The so-called foot mill, which has been restored in recent years and is fully functional, used to belong to Dill Castle . The Protestant church was built in 1844/45 in place of a smaller chapel and consecrated in 1848.
