history

Conradty Settlement (2009)

Until the church is planted

Röthenbach was first mentioned in a document on March 16, 1311, when Konrad von Beerbach bequeathed his possessions and the mill at Röthenbach to the St. Catherine's Monastery in Nuremberg.

A powder and paper mill existed from 1499 at the latest. The paper mill , one of the oldest in the Nuremberg region, existed until the Second World War . After the Thirty Years' War, the powder mill became a copper hammer , and finally a Zain and iron hammer . Since 1504 Röthenbach belonged to the territory of the Imperial City of Nuremberg and thus came into the Franconian Empire . In 1806 Röthenbach became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria like the entire land area of ​​the imperial city . In 1818 Röthenbach became a municipality.

19th and 20th centuries

In 1880 Conrad Conradty built a pencil factory, which was later expanded to include the production of electro-galvanic carbon. Since then, Röthenbach, which had only nine inhabitants in 1723 and 380 inhabitants in 1880, grew very strongly. The entrepreneur had the so-called Conradty settlement built between 1892 and 1914 . By the beginning of the First World War , 180 houses with over 700 residential units for the workers were built near the factory buildings, with the rent being kept very socially. This settlement from the Wilhelminian era , still largely preserved and carefully renovated, is a high-ranking monument to industrial history .

In 1937 the Diehl company relocated parts of its production to Röthenbach, which also encouraged the community to grow. Röthenbach was elevated to the rank of city by a decision of the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior on May 20, 1953.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, part of the previously independent municipality of Wetzendorf , especially the district of Himmelgarten, was incorporated. On July 1, 1972, Haimendorf was added with its districts of Grüne Au, Moritzberg, Renzenhof and Rockenbrunn.
