history

Until the church is planted

Röttenbach was probably built around the year 1000 as a clearing settlement and was first mentioned around 1200 when Bishop Otto consecrated a St. Mary's Church. The Immediatrittergut of the bishopric of Bamberg , which from 1500 was in the Franconian Empire , came to Prussia immediately after the secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria in the Prussian-Bavarian mainland comparison . In the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 it fell to France with the Prussian Principality of Bayreuth and came to the Kingdom of Bavaria with the Treaty of Paris in 1810 .

With the administrative reforms in Bavaria with the community edict of 1818, the community with the community part of Niedermauk was created.

Koenigsstrasse

Around 1860, the so-called Königsstraße was built as a trade route, today's Bundesstraße 2 .

badges and flags

The municipality of Röttenbach has had a coat of arms since 1982.

Blazon : "In silver a red diagonal wave bar , above the curvature of a black bishop's staff , below a floating black paw cross " Black-white-red municipal flag

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms of Röttenbach indicates the two rulers who are important for the community. The crosier is taken from the Hochstift coat of arms of Eichstätt. The paw cross comes from the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order and commemorates the rule of the Teutonic Order Coming Ellingen in Röttenbach from the 13th century until the end of the Old Kingdom. The red inclined shaft Bach is talking for the place name, the "red river" means.
