geography

The place, 213 m above sea level, lies in the Amöneburg Basin , a basin landscape of considerable extent, west of the Lahn Mountains near Marburg , east of the watershed and the Herrenwald near Stadtallendorf , in the south of the Vorderen Vogelsberg and north of Kirchhain on the edge of the castle forest is skirted. The Rulfbach flows through the village in a north-easterly direction, where it flows into the Ohm (Alte Ohm) near the Brücker Mühle near Amöneburg . The most striking point outside the locality is a hill with the field name Auf der Warte , 234 m above sea level.

history

The church

The place was first mentioned in the document book of the Fulda monastery under the name Rostorf or Ruesdorf , which is ascribed to the year 750 or 779.

The Catholic parish church of St. Mary is under the patronage of the Birth of Mary and John the Baptist . The consecration took place on June 27, 1706. It is a hall with a choir closed on three sides. Integrated into the church roof is a three-storey hooded roof turret with four bells, while the interior of the church has rich stucco work and a late baroque high altar set with figures. The two altar figures are about Emperor Heinrich II and his wife Kunigunde. The central large ceiling painting shows the Assumption of Mary into heaven and the other paintings show other solemn feasts of the Blessed Mother Mary.

The church was built in the late Gothic style in 1695/1696 and expanded to the west in 1728 and at the same time redesigned in Baroque style. According to church records, the reconstruction should have lasted until 1739. But also in the following period there was constant maintenance and redesign work. The church is surrounded by a fortified cemetery and a defensive wall with key notches. There are several historical tombstones and a war memorial in the churchyard.

After the battle of the Brücker mill in Amöneburg (September 21, 1762), a mass grave of French fallen soldiers was laid out. Since 2014, a bilingual plaque commemorates these dead of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763).

In addition to several wayside shrines and high crucifixes, which symbolize signs of the Catholic faith within the village and the area, two holy houses (in the Upper Hessian dialect, so-called Helchehäusche ) are particularly worth mentioning. These are smaller, sandstone, polygonal buildings, which are very similar in architectural style, are accessible and each has a slate roof. They carry a cross on the top of the roof. In the plain interior there are statues of saints. Both sacred buildings are unique in the area around Amöneburg.

In terms of church history, it should also be noted that the Schröck parish was dissolved in 1820 and was assigned to the Roßdorf parish as a subsidiary parish until 1884.

On December 31, 1971, the municipality of Roßdorf was incorporated into the municipality of Amöneburg as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

The former school was converted into the club house in 2005. The Roßdorf Village and Costume Museum has been located on the upper floor since 2013. The unique collection shows the local Catholic costume.
