history
The place Roßrieth was first mentioned in 1140 in a deed of assignment from Bishop Embricho of Würzburg . Another name referring to a "Conrad von Rosserieth" was made in 1345. Consequently, the castle must have existed as the seat of a lordship since the 12th century. Around 1361, the inn of St (r) etelingen owned the castle. They ceded this to the Fulda monastery , but had the monastery lend them to them again. Around 1400, Roßrieth Castle was considered a robber baron's nest , which is why it was destroyed in 1401.
In the following years the castle and the place belonged to the Counts of Mansfeld , who entrusted the barons of Thüngen with it in 1548 . The Lords of Bibra received Roßrieth after the death of Kunz von Thüngen in 1589 as Saxon fiefs. The "Wasserschloss Roßrieth" was probably built under their rule. In 1681 the castle was acquired by Hilmar von Grappendorf, who sold it in 1768 to the barons of Stein zu Nord- and Ostheim , who owned it until the 19th century. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the mediatization of imperial direct ranks ( imperial knighthood ) began on a larger scale.
The "cleaning contract" between the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and Saxony-Meiningen, which was signed on June 20, 1808, regulated the border between the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and the ducal Saxon-Meiningian and Saxon-Roman-Hilda area, with the place Roßrieth under the sovereignty of Grand Duchy of Würzburg came. With the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation in 1814 and the resolution of the Congress of Vienna , most of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the community Roßrieth was created with the community edict of 1818 . From 1817 the place belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 . In 1835, the von Stein gentlemen transferred their “K. Baier. Patrimonial Court of the Barons von Stein “voluntarily to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Roßrieth has been in the Free State of Bavaria since 1918 . In the years after the Second World War, there was a large immigration of refugee families and agricultural workers.
On April 1, 1971, Roßrieth was incorporated into the city of Mellrichstadt.
