history
Rosenthal was first mentioned in 1356. Until 1503 it belonged to Bohemia , then to Saxony . The hamlet of Hermsdorf has been known since 1410, while the Reichstein settlement emerged from an iron hammer east of the Biela (" hammer to Reichensteyn an der Bile bey Pirne "), first mentioned in 1492 . The hammer mill produced scythes, plowshares and "Gezeug" until 1733. The community experienced an upswing at the beginning of the 19th century with the establishment of the cold water sanatorium Schweizermühle , which was also frequented by members of the European nobility . The Rosenthal Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded in 1879 . The cold water facility was closed in 1912 and used by the Maggi company as a rest home for its employees. During the GDR era, the buildings were used as a sanatorium for tuberculosis sufferers and as an old people's home. There has been a carnival club in Bielatal since 1958. Every year since 1992, around 20 children from the areas around Brahin , affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, have come in January to recover in Rosenthal.
In 2012 the municipal council presented a contract for incorporation into the city of Königstein. The majority of the 2013 referendum voted against the incorporation.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
At the beginning of the 20th century, the upper Bielatal was also to be connected by the Bielatalbahn , which opened in 1901, but the planned extension to Schweizermühle did not come about for financial reasons. In September 1904 the line was closed again.
In the local public transport Rosenthal-Bielatal is served by the lines 242 (Königstein - Rosenthal), 245 (Pirna - Rosenthal) and 247 (Berggießhübel - Bad Gottleuba - Rosenthal) of the regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains (RVSOE). Line 247 is only used for school traffic, while lines 242 and 245 also run on weekends and are mainly used by day trippers. A trailer for bicycle transport is carried on lines 242 and 245 on weekends in the summer, and both lines are run with a few trips on the road that is closed to other motorized traffic as far as the Czech border to Tyssa and Peterswald .
Until 1938, the main connection between Pirna and Bodenbach , today's federal highway 172 , ran via Hermsdorf and Rosenthal. After completion of the continuous road connection in the Elbe Valley via Schmilka , the route via Rosenthal lost its importance. The road is only released for hikers and cyclists and, since spring 2016, also cross-border, for RVSOE buses.
