The Roland was founded on January 18, 1902 in Dresden by Hermann Unbescheid (1847–1915) as the first, expressly civil, genealogical association in the world. He saw himself as a national association with local groups. In quick succession z. B. Roland local groups in Leipzig , Magdeburg , Hamburg , Potsdam , Nuremberg and 1904 also in Berlin . This local group in Berlin, headed by Bernhard Koerner , became self-employed in 1913 as Deutscher Roland . A local group in Leipzig only existed temporarily and was finally absorbed in the activities of the Central Office for German Personal and Family History, Leipzig, founded in 1904 . Other local groups also developed into the nucleus of new regional associations and became independent after 1930. B. 1923 the Pomeranian Association for Heritage and Heraldry . The association was based in Dresden at Grosse Brüdergasse 10 and was dissolved in 1945, like all other associations in Germany.

It records around 324,000 personal documents at around 450 storage locations. Max Adolf Weißker from Langebrück, co-founder of Roland, bequeathed his 1557-piece bookplate collection to the association in 1918. This collection was supplemented by another 500 pieces by 1945.
