history

Around 1170 a Konrad von Wettenhofen administered a fiefdom to Rohr on behalf of Emperor Friedrich. In 1182 the emperor donated goods to Rohr to the Reichenbach monastery . In 1262 Ulrich von Sulzbürg- Wolfstein and the Cistercian convent Seligenporten exchanged his property in Rohr for the Seligenportner monastery property and mill in Mühlhausen. In 1384 Kraft Hetzel zu Rohr owned the tithe to Rohr as an episcopal fief. The village belonged to the Niedersulzbürg Castle in 1403, when the Wolfsteiners acquired it from Schweiker von Gundelfingen, sold it on to their relative Eustachius von Lichtenstein, who was carer at Allersberg, and bought it back from his widow. In 1466, the Eichstatt Bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau confirmed the foundation of an early mass in Rohr by the Möningen pastor Kaspar Schreyer; the right of presentation lay with Count Palatine Otto von Neumarkt. In 1556 the Reformation was introduced under the Palatinate Count Palatine Ottheinrich ; under the Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm , the re-Catholicization took place in 1625.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Rohr consisted of 23 subject estates of various sizes, which belonged to the royal Bavarian, formerly Wolfsteinian rule of Pyrbaum, the Neumarkt caste office, the Seligenporten monastery judge's office and the imperial city of Nuremberg. The high jurisdiction exercised the electoral mayor's office in Neumarkt.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), Rohr was assigned to the Möning tax district between 1810 and 1820 . Around 1820 the three places Rohr, Aßlschwang and Richthof formed the rural community Aßlschwang in the district court (from 1862 district office, from 1879 district) Neumarkt.

In 1875 the community had a total of 353 inhabitants in its three towns; 168 people lived in Rohr, and seven horses and 181 head of cattle were kept there. The children attended the local Catholic school, which was built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1874; the teacher was also a sacristan.

With the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Aßlschwang and thus also Rohr was incorporated into the city of Freystadt on January 1, 1972.

The nave was extended to the west in the late 19th century and has since measured 13 × 5.2 meters. The altars are baroque (18th century).
