history

In 1733 a church was built in Rothesütte. The first pastor was the previous teacher Paul Christian Hesse on January 14, 1734. Because of various excesses, Hesse was removed from office in 1736. On May 29, 1736, the new pastor Andreas Cyriacus Breithaupt was inaugurated in the neighboring Sophienhof , but he moved to Altenrode in 1742 . Successors were Johann Heinrich Hartmann (became court preacher in Castell-Rehweiler in 1747), Johann Anton Schumacher (became a preacher in Straussfurt in 1748 ), Johann Marcus Gehrich (also went to Straussfurt in 1751), Johann Tobias Lindemann (became a hospital preacher in Wernigerode in 1755) and Johann Jacob Schultze. In the following years, the pastors mostly stayed in the Hohnstein Forest for only a short time. The church was demolished due to dilapidation during the GDR era. In its place is a bell carrier with the preserved bell from 1888.

In July 1929 the writers WH Auden and Christopher Isherwood stayed in Rothesütte .

On April 9, 1994 it was incorporated into the town of Ellrich .
