history
Roßla is mentioned for the first time in a document dated September 15, 996. With this certificate, Emperor Otto III. the convent of St. Kilian's cell ( diocese of Würzburg ) the community of Roßla. Roßla owned a moated castle . The keep is still in the castle courtyard today . Numerous documents say that a noble family was settled in Roßla . In 1119 a Dietmar von Roßla, in 1238 a Friedrich and in 1315 a Heinrich von Roßla. Inventory descriptions from 1573, 1650 and 1679 allow the moated castle to be reconstructed. It is the area of the castle and its forecourt. The castle lay on a small island in a helmet arm in the middle of a pond fed by the helmet . In the middle of the 11th century, parts of the Helmeried came to the Archdiocese of Mainz and the Fulda Monastery . The Walkenried monastery acquired the area around Görsbach around 1144. Later, the monks and the Flemish people who had settled there ameliorated the land between Görsbach and Kelbra and beyond. The Flemings were experienced and brought money, cattle and crops with them from their homeland. Despite the drainage, there were always water problems. On February 8th and 9th, 1946, the Goldene Aue was a lake. The water stood from herring to Ritteburg and the Thyratal . The high water levels have been carved into the southern abutment of the Mühltalgrabenbrücke in Kelbra. The highest water level was in 1881 and 1946 with over four meters.
Up until 1945, Roßla was the seat of a line of the Counts of Stolberg . The Stolberg-Roßla line had existed since 1706 . Until 1815, the seat of the Stolbergian office of the same name Roßla was located in the village .
On April 12, 1945, Roßla was occupied by the American army, and at the beginning of July it was incorporated into the Soviet occupation zone. Towards the end of the Second World War, Hermine Reuss older line , the widow of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II, came to the castle in Roßla. After fleeing her estates in Silesia, she was taken in by her youngest sister, Ida Fürstin zu Stolberg-Roßla. Prince zu Stolberg-Roßla was expropriated, expelled from the castle and interned with his family in the Torgau camp in October 1945. The Empress-widow Hermione was picked up a week later. She died in 1947 in a Soviet internment in Frankfurt / Oder.
Since the 18th century (1719) there was the Gräfliche , from 1893 Princely Consistory Stolberg-Roßla , a media consistory for the management of the Lutheran Church in the county of Stolberg-Roßla. After the establishment of the United Evangelical Church in Prussia in 1821, the Lutheran parishes in the area of the former county belonged to its church province of Saxony . The media consistory, however, continued to exist with regional responsibility for these parishes. Until the separation of state and religion in 1919, it was directly subordinate to the registrar Count / Prince von Stolberg-Roßla and indirectly to the President of the Province of Saxony. On November 5, 1947, his responsibility was transferred to the media consistory in Stolberg am Harz .
