history

The place was first mentioned in 953 as "Rossadal". The place name is derived from a field name of the same name, the defining word of which is the Old High German "ros, hros" (= horse) and therefore means "valley of horses". The place name can also be interpreted as a "place of horse breeding". According to the German dictionary (DWB, Der Grimm), Rossstall refers to the place where the horse boys and other lower servants stay and sleep, as well as an unsightly place.

  • 954: Mention of Rossal by Widukind as "Horsadal"
  • 1050: The place name "Rossestal" appears in a Bamberg document from 1050.
  • 1281: The burgraves of Nuremberg bought their first goods in Roßtal.
  • 12th and 13th centuries: The place name "Rostal" is written.
  • 1328: "Rostal" receives city ​​and market rights from Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian .
  • after 1328: The suffix "-stal" later becomes "-stall": "Roßstall".
  • 1355: Emperor Charles IV confirmed the granting of town charter.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 110 properties in Roßtal. The high court and the village and community rulership exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach judge office Roßtal .

In 1808, as part of the municipal edict, the Roßtal tax district was formed. In 1810 the municipality of Roßtal was founded, which was congruent with the tax district. She was in administration and jurisdiction of the district court Cadolzburg and in the financial administration of the bursary Cadolzburg (in 1920 the tax office Cadolzburg renamed). In 1818 Roßtal became a market with Magistrate III. Class appointed. From 1862 Roßtal was administered by the Fürth district office (renamed the Fürth district in 1938 ). Jurisdiction remained with the Cadolzburg District Court until 1879, from 1880 to March 1, 1931 it was with the Cadolzburg District Court , since then it has been exercised by the Fürth District Court . The financial management was taken over on January 1, 1929 by the Fürth tax office .
