history

middle Ages

In 1177 the place was first mentioned in a document as "Rotenbach". The place name is derived from an identical water body name, the defining word of which is the adjective red; So reference is made to the reddish color of this brook. From the 10th century onwards, the basic word –bach in water names replaced the previously common basic word –aha . According to this, it can be assumed that around the year 1000 settlers came looking for land in the wooded, hilly landscape that forms the foothills of the Steigerwald . They settled this valley down, cleared parts of the forest and made the land arable . Wide swamp areas on the impermeable beds of the Keuperstufe allowed only poorly productive agriculture. Over the centuries, the inhabitants cultivated the swamps, the many chains of ponds were created that divided the forests and strive towards Röttenbach from the north, east and west, some of which still run through today.

In the 13th century a line of Truchseß von Pommersfelden , later called Truchseß von Röttenbach, took possession of the area. Sales deeds prove that farms and estates changed hands several times. In 1322 one estate went to the abbot of Michaelsberg Monastery , and in 1329 another to the bailiff at Nuremberg Castle . In 1476 the Bamberg monastery sold its farm to Christoph Truchseß in Röttenbach.

The main courtyard of the village, from which the later manor arose, was first mentioned in 1433 in a Bamberg fiefdom letter for Peter and Veit Truchseß. A castle was built on this farm , today the Sauer Brewery , which was secured with a moat. Insurgent farmers burned the castle down in the Peasants' War in 1525. The house, which was rebuilt later, has been preserved to this day, as has a finely crafted sandstone coat of arms from 1591 on the south wall of the brewery. In 1610 the property was pledged to the marshals of Pappenheim , who were related by marriage to Truchseß . In 1710 this fell to the Bamberg Monastery . Parts of the goods and subjects belonged to the imperial city of Nuremberg and the barons Winkler von Mohrenfels (Hemhofen). In the time of Napoleon Röttenbach was awarded the Crown of Prussia in 1803 , but in 1810, like a large part of Franconia, it came to the Kingdom of Bavaria .

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 68 properties in Röttenbach. The high court was exercised by the Bamberg center forchheim . The village and township government had the upper Bailiwick Office Forchheim held. The landlords were the bishopric Bamberg ( Kastenamt Forchheim (1 castle with brewery, 2 courtyards, 1 half courtyard, 2 estates, 2 estates, 3 houses, 1 fall house ), the Bamberg cathedral chapter (2 half estates, 4 estates), the St. Klara monastery in Bamberg (3 estates), the Nuremberg State Almosenamt (2 half yards, 9 estates), the Winklerische Herrschaft Hemhofen (1 mill, 3 half yards, 17 estates, 4 estates, 7 drip houses ) and the community of Röttenbach (church, 1 estate, 1 house)) .

As part of the municipal edict, the tax district Röttenbach was formed in 1811 , to which the towns of Hausen , Hemhofen , Oberheroldsbach , Reihendorf , Weihermühle and Zeckern belonged. With the Second Community Edict (1818), the Hemhofen Tax District, to which Zeckern belonged, was formed, and three rural communities were formed:

• Hausen with Oberheroldsbach,
• Hemhofen with Zeckern,
• Röttenbach with Reihendorf and Weihermühle.

The administration and jurisdiction of the municipality of Röttenbach was subordinate to the district court of Herzogenaurach and the financial administration to the Erlangen rent office . In voluntary jurisdiction, 33 properties were subordinate to the Neuenbürg Patrimonial Court (1820–1835). On October 1, 1847, the financial management was taken over by the Rentamt Herzogenaurach . From 1862 Röttenbach was administered by the district office of Höchstadt an der Aisch (renamed the district of Höchstadt an der Aisch in 1938 ) and continued to be administered by the rent office Herzogenaurach (1920–1929 tax office Herzogenaurach , from 1929: tax office Erlangen ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Herzogenaurach until 1879, 1880–1959 district court of Herzogenaurach , from 1959 district court of Erlangen .

present

Until the middle of the 20th century, most of the residents remained poor and were mostly day laborers . For many, a small additional income was the gathering of mushrooms and berries, "Butzeln" ( pine cones ), water lilies and sundew . They brought their goods, consisting mostly of natural products, to Erlangen and sold them there. Others drove through southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria and sold horseradish, which is famous for the region . In the difficult years after the Second World War, this merchant spirit formed the basis for an unexpected economic rise. The crouched farmhouses in the Franconian half-timbered style disappeared and were replaced by modern houses. Only the forester's house with half-timbered barn and shed and the rectory, both in baroque style, have been preserved as historically valuable buildings .

In 1972, the municipality of Röttenbach came from Upper Franconia to Middle Franconia as part of the regional reform , and most of the Röttenbach residents flocked there. In return, more and more new residents from the metropolitan region of Nuremberg- Erlangen-Fürth came to the village, which was still tranquil at the time. Röttenbach grew rapidly and took on its present form. In 1980 the brief administrative community with Hemhofen was dissolved again.

In January 2016, Röttenbach was officially recognized as a fair trade community for its longstanding commitment to fair trade .

The Röttenbach song

The many chains of ponds in the entire Aischgrund ensure a spacious biotope network. They form the habitat for many rare animal and plant species, such as the common moss damsel and the moor frog . In addition, the ponds regulate the water cycle as reservoirs by retaining water in the period of low precipitation and reducing runoff during flooding.
