history
9th to 16th centuries
In 855 Appo and his wife gave their property in “Rodahusun” in the Gau Grabfeld to the Fulda monastery . The place name means "at the houses on the clearing". In 1181 the brothers Hermann and Wicker von Rothausen handed “villam Rodenhusen” over to the Bildhausen monastery . Bishop Heinrich separated the place from the parish of Mellrichstadt in 1194 and raised it to a parish.
Later the place belonged to the county of Henneberg - Römhild . Through two divisions of the Henneberg-Römhild line in 1468 and 1532, Rothausen came to Count Berthold XVI as part of the Römhild office . von Henneberg-Römhild , who sold his property to the Counts of Mansfeld in 1548 . These in turn sold the office of Römhild with Rothausen in 1555 to the Ernestine Wettins . The Reformation was introduced in the village around 1560 . Due to inheritances of the Ernestine duchies Rothausen belonged starting from 1572 to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach and from 1596 to Saxe-Coburg .
17th and 18th centuries
In 1594/99 the Saxon dukes were given the embarrassing jurisdiction in Rothausen through a recess , while the bailiwick jurisdiction was withheld from the Bildhausen monastery. The Würzburg bishopric was given the right to levy taxes. Even today, a remarkable linden tree on the village square reminds us of these bygone times. From 1633 Rothausen belonged again to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach. In 1628 the Counter Reformation was to be carried out by force. An episcopal commissioner advanced with 50 horsemen and 1,300 foot soldiers. After only a few years, however, the Protestant denomination prevailed again.
From 1640 Rothausen belonged to Sachsen-Altenburg . In 1656, after a long legal dispute with the Bildhausen Monastery, the House of Saxony was granted patronage rights in Rothausen. After the house of Sachsen-Altenburg died out, Rothausen belonged to Sachsen-Gotha -Altenburg from 1672 and to Sachsen-Römhild from 1680 . After the death of the Duke of Sachsen-Römhild, the office of Römhild was divided between Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld (1/3) and Sachsen-Meiningen (2/3) in 1710 .
19th and 20th centuries
In a state treaty, both Rothausen and Gollmuthhausen were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Würzburg in 1808 . With the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation in 1814 and the resolution of the Congress of Vienna , most of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1817 the place belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 .
In 1896 a third of the village was burned to death. Rothausen had been in the Free State of Bavaria since 1918 . The district office of Königshofen, to which the place belonged, was renamed from 1939 to the district of Königshofen im Grabfeld . As part of the regional reform on July 1, 1972, the previous districts of Königshofen im Grabfeld and Mellrichstadt were incorporated into the Bad Neustadt an der Saale district. On May 1, 1973 it was renamed the Rhön-Grabfeld district . On January 1, 1975 Rothausen was incorporated into Höchheim .
religion
The place had been the seat of a Catholic parish since 1194.
In 1560 the Reformation was introduced and Gollmuthhausen became part of the parish. Andreas May was the first Protestant pastor in the community in 1560. He was used by the Duke of Saxony . The violent Counter-Reformation that followed in 1628 did not prevail in the following years. A new church was built in 1658, while the tower and choir are late medieval, probably from the 15th century. Rothausen became the seat of a Protestant deanery in 1845 , which was moved to Bad Neustadt an der Saale in 1947 . The evangelical community in the village today belongs to the parish of Irmelshausen.
The local Catholics belong to the parish Heilig Kreuz in Herbstadt, nine kilometers away . Their St. Laurentius branch church is located in Ottelmannshausen , seven and a half kilometers from Rothausen.
