After their extinction, the area came to the Landgraves of Hesse. Landgrave Philip I introduced the Reformation in 1527. After his death in 1567, the area came to Hessen-Rheinfels. In 1583 it fell to Hessen-Kassel.
During the 30-year war, the Niedergafschaft fell to Hessen-Darmstadt. In 1648 it came back to Hessen-Kassel.
Roth was under French administration ( pays réservé ) from 1806 to 1813 and came to the Duchy of Nassau in 1816 (after it briefly belonged again to Hessen-Kassel) , which in turn was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 as a result of the so-called German War . During the time of the duchy it belonged to the office of Nassau. From 1867 to 1969 Roth was part of the Unterlahn district .
After the First World War , the place was occupied until the French withdrew in 1929, after the Second World War it was also part of the French occupation zone and since 1946 has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
