history

The village was founded by the Würzburg prince-bishop Melchior Zobel von Giebelstadt zu Guttenberg to stand up to the prince-bishopric of Fulda . Twelve people from Oberbach were settled in "Am Rothen Rain". The number of families grew, but the Thirty Years War reduced the number again. In 1738 a school and a chapel were built. The community belonged to the parish of Oberbach.

The residents, who lived from agriculture and farm labor, had to leave the village on April 15, 1938. Most of them left as early as 1937. The area around Bad Brückenau , the Offenbach area or southern Germany became a new home . Resettlement after the Second World War did not take place.

The former rural community Rothenrain consisted of Kirchdorf Rothenrain and deserts Disbachshof and Disbachsmühle and covered 326.26 hectares . It was dissolved in 1942 and assigned to the Wildflecken Heeresguts district . The community had already resettled at the time of the 1939 census.
