history
Rothenkirchen was first mentioned in a document in 1441. The place originally belonged to the rule Auerbach and later to the Vogtland office of Plauen . The manor in Rothenkirchen was mentioned for the first time in 1550. In 1706 Rothenkirchen received its own parish . The current church was consecrated in 1796. The parish in Wernesgrün has also been part of the parish since 1879 .
Around 1800, the first companies in the top-class branch came into being. A lace school was established in 1830. The brush and brushwood industry began in the village around 1850. The world-famous hair care company Franz Ströher , (later Wella / Londa ), was founded in Rothenkirchen in 1880 and had its headquarters in the village until 1945. With the inauguration of the leg Sauper village - Wilzschhaus the narrow-gauge railway Wilkau-Haßlau-Carlsfeld got the place in 1893 a railway connection. As a result, there was an economic boom in the place. In 1913 a bus connection was set up from Plauen via Rothenkirchen to Eibenstock .
After the end of the Second World War , the place, like the entire Vogtland, was initially occupied by the Americans until June 1945. A land reform was carried out under the Soviet occupation forces from 1945 and the manor was demolished.
In 1971 the Saupersdorf ob Bhf.– Rothenkirchen section of the Wilkau-Haßlau – Carlsfeld narrow-gauge railway was officially closed . In 1975 the Rothenkirchen - Schönheide Süd section was also closed.
In the GDR era, there was the “Philipp Müller” children's holiday camp , which essentially consisted of barrack-style buildings and was surrounded by a fence.
After the political turnaround, the "Rothenkirchen industrial area" was built on Wildenauer Strasse in 1990. From 1993 the residential area "Waldsiedlung" was created. The Wella company took over its old headquarters in the village again. Since then, hair care products have been produced there under the name Londa . In 2017, the COTY group took over the company from Procter & Gamble, which a few years earlier had bought Wella from the Ströher family.
In the course of the Saxon municipal area reform , the municipalities of Rothenkirchen, Wernesgrün and Wildenau voluntarily merged to form the municipality of Steinberg in 1994 . In 1997 the municipal administration moved into the former train station in the district, which was converted into a town hall.
Religions
The Evangelical Lutheran parish had been a branch church of the church in Auerbach / Vogtl since 1578 . The church has been a parish church with its own parish since 1706 . Up until this point in time, the neighboring village of Stützengrün was a parish. The current church was consecrated in 1796. The parish in Wernesgrün has also been part of the parish since 1879 , while Stützengrün left the association in 1885. Today the community belongs to the Auerbach parish of the Saxon regional church.
There is also a regional church community in the village.
The New Apostolic Church inaugurated its new building in 1997.
education
The Steinberg primary school is located in the village.

The state road from Rodewisch via Rothenkirchen to Schneeberg (today's B 169 ) has existed since 1842 .
From 1893 to 1975 the place had a train station connection to the narrow-gauge railway Wilkau-Haßlau-Carlsfeld . Since 2010 efforts have been made by the “Via Wilzschhaus” development association to reactivate the upper section of the route from Carlsfeld to Rothenkirchen and to extend it with a new route to the Wernesgrün brewery . In the local area, this would have meant the reconstruction of the line from Stützengrün (connection to the museum railway) and a new route to the brewery in Wernesgrün . The plans were abandoned in 2013 after most of the affected municipalities and counties refused to participate. The town hall of the Steinberg community is located next to the former Rothenkirchen train station. The former train station is the station of the steam railway route Saxony .
