history
Roßbrunn was mentioned as early as the 12th century. At that time, in 1160, the village came to the Oberzell monastery and was called "Ruochesbrunnen". The name Roßbrunn established itself as early as the 13th century. During the Middle Ages, the village was looked after by the church from Hettstadt , and it was not until 1545 that it became a branch of the parish. Until 1612, the rulership of the village was in the hands of the Counts of Wertheim, before the Würzburg monastery became the new master.
After secularization and the dissolution of the monastery at the beginning of the 19th century, Roßbrunn, together with the neighboring hamlet of Mädelhofen, became a Bavarian rural community. In 1831 the parish became a parish. In 1868, the influential Horn family of post offices built the current parish church. Two years earlier, during the German War , a battle between Prussian and Bavarian troops had broken out near the town .
On May 1, 1978 Roßbrunn was in the course of municipal reform with girl Hofen part of the new community Waldbuettelbrunn in the district of Würzburg.
Attractions
The center of the village is the Catholic parish church of St. Joseph. It was built in 1868 in neo-Gothic style and was built as a hall with a retracted choir and a facade tower on the west side. Inside, the furnishings are predominantly neo-Gothic. As early as 1853, a small chapel made of quarry stone with a gable roof was built outside the village.
The remains of the old post office bridge from the middle of the 18th century are reminiscent of the important post office , which existed in the village for a long time and whose building is still in the center of the village. In addition to a few other buildings from the 18th century, many wayside shrines and small memorials have been preserved in the corridor of the village.
