Rossach is a district of the Upper Franconian community Großheirath in the Coburg district .

geography

Rossach is about eleven kilometers south of Coburg , east of the Itz and west of Banzer Forst. Already in the High Middle Ages a convoy led from south to north along the Itz through the Mühldorf. There was also an Itz ford . Today the Bundesstraße 4 runs between the Itz and the town .

history

Rossach has existed since the 9th century at the latest , but is likely to have originated much earlier. The first written mention was in a document from 1139, in which Ulrich von Rossach is mentioned as a witness for the Banz monastery . The year 1126 is also mentioned in a document from the Banz monastery.

In the 14th century, the Langheim monastery owned the manor and was entitled to a tithe of field yields from some farms. The administration was carried out by the Amtshof Tambach . In 1337, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian gave the monastery all of its rights to Rossach.

The church is believed to have been built in the 13th century. It was mentioned as a branch church of the original parish Altenbanz. From 1353 the place belonged to the domain of the Wettins and thus from 1485 to the electorate of Saxony. In the south and east, Rossach bordered Püchitz and Altenbanz, which belonged to the Bamberg monastery .

From 1529 the parish was looked after by the pastor of Untersiemau , from 1535 by Gleußen, from 1540 by Scherneck and finally from 1878 by Großheirath.

In the 18th century, the Coburg office had patronage in Rossach. In 1711 the parish hall with an integrated brewery was built. In 1721 a school was built, which was replaced by a new building in 1868 and closed in 1955. In 1830 the community got market rights . In 1837 the place had 414 inhabitants. On December 4, 1900, Rossach received a connection to the railway network with the Itzgrundbahn . On July 31, 2001, the line was permanently shut down and at the end of 2005 it was deedicated. In 1905 the place was connected to the power station of the Schleifenhanmühle.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, thirteen citizens of Rossach voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 120 against. From July 1st, 1920 Rossach belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In 1925 the 397.18 hectare village had 353 inhabitants, 350 of whom belonged to the Protestant church, and 81 residential buildings.

On May 1, 1978, Rossach, like the neighboring towns of Gossenberg , Neuses an den Eichen and Watzendorf , became part of the community of Großheirath.
