Historically, Roth acquired town charter (documented in 1758) and owned its own court. Roth is also known for its silver deposits (discovered at the end of the 17th century), which led to the minting of a silver thaler (1696). Silver was mined in the pit of God's gift well into the 20th century .

You will find 1 church built of wood, 1 grinding and oil mill, and in the area an abandoned copper mine. - The place used to appear under the name Roden . The mine was discovered in 1695. In 1773 the village was given permission to hold a market on Bartholomew's, and if it turned out well, the privilege should be issued. There was a special dish here that only included this single place. "

coat of arms
The Roth coat of arms was designed by Albert Wagner. In the upper part it contains a rising sun and in the lower part a scales as a symbol for the jurisdiction. The scales indicate a separate dish that Roth owned in the past. The rising sun can also be found as a motif on the Rother Silbertaler and is intended to remind of it.

- the men's choir 1856 Harmonie Roth
- the volunteer fire brigade (founded in 1907)
- the nature conservation and heritage association (founded in 1969)
