history

Rott belonged to the parish of Flammersfeld in the county of Sayn and was first mentioned in 1478 in the deeds of the parish court. After the division of the County of Sayn, Rott belonged to the County of Sayn-Hachenburg until 1799 . Until 1806 the place was under the rule of Nassau-Weilburg and until 1815 it belonged to the Duchy of Nassau . At that time the place was called Roth . In 1815 the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia , administratively Rott belonged to the Flammersfeld mayor in the newly formed district of Altenkirchen in 1816 .

Until 1856 the Rotter children went to school in Flammersfeld . From 1894 to 1965 Rott had its own village school. The reason for its construction was the overcrowding of the school in Eichen , where Rott's children were now being taught. The construction of the school without utensils and teaching aids cost 11,000 marks at that time. In the school year 1895/96 the number of children was 44, including 27 boys and 17 girls. All children were housed in one classroom until the school closed, regardless of their age group.

With regard to the history of the village, the school chronicle says, among other things, that the municipal council decided to build a lighting system for the place in 1923. In 1928, Rott was connected to the existing Neuwied - Horhausen post bus line , which was extended to Flammersfeld. In 1984 an over 100 year old quarry stone kiln was saved from demolition, dismantled, renovated and rebuilt in a specially built bakery that has been used by the village community ever since.

On November 7, 1970, the districts of Dasbach and Heckenhahn were spun off from the municipality of Rott and the district of Altenkirchen and assigned to the municipality of Asbach (Westerwald) in the district of Neuwied .
