history

One kilometer northwest of the village on the northern tip of the Rohrberg is a pre-medieval rampart. An area about 25 × 15 meters is still surrounded by a ditch. Within this area there is a pit as the remainder of a building. One closes the high mediaeval castle Schnellecke .

The first documentary mention of the place was before September 1, 1055 as part of a transfer of 4 1/2 Hufen land and a mill in Roriberch by Archbishop Luitpold to Nörten Monastery . The place was mentioned again in 1189 with Hartmann and Konrad von Rohrberghe. Rohrberg has been the seat of a parish since 1209. In the 15th century the place became deserted for unknown reasons. The reconstruction took place around 1500. The place belonged to Kurmainz from 1055 until the secularization , which gave it to those of Rusteberg as a fief . After the Rusteberger died out, the place fell to the Bodenhausen family . From 1815 to 1945 it was part of the Prussian province of Saxony , came to the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and was part of the GDR from 1949 . From 1961 until the turnaround and reunification in 1989/1990, Rohrberg was affected by the closure of the nearby inner-German border. Since 1990 the place belongs to Thuringia.
