Rottenbach is a village and a cadastral municipality of the municipality of Zwettl in the Zwettl district in Lower Austria .
Settlement development
Rottenbach lies in a lowland on the federal highway 124. It is a so-called longitudinal tang village with originally 11 buildings.
In 1400 the place was called Rotenpach (the place name is probably due to the iron-rich water)
The place is pronounced "rodnbo" in dialect.
The settlement emerged around the former hunting lodge, which was subsequently used as a meierhof. The estate was mentioned in a document as early as the 14th century. It is a simple building, the basic substance of which is largely unchanged.
In the 14th century it was owned by the Lords of Starhemberg, and in 1556 it was bought by the Lords of Lindau. Other owners were: from 1651 Count Georg Adam von Kufstein, from 1656 his son Johann Georg, from 1690 Hanns Adam, Freiherr von Landau. He died as Herr von Rothenbach. His daughter Maria Dorothea was a nun and bequeathed the property to her monastery at St. Jakob in Vienna. In 1739 the estate was sold to Leopold Christoph Reichsgrafen von Schallenberg. Then it went to the Lords of Rosenau Castle (Georg Ritter von Schönerer). In Rosenau Castle and also in the former manor there are prints after an etching by Georg Matthäus Visher from 1672. The engraving shows the building still with the gable tower and several chimneys. The tower itself fell victim to a fire in 1825.
In 1938 the estate was transferred to the Deutsche Ansiedlungsgesellschaft, and from 1945 it belonged to the Waldviertel Fleckviehzuchtverband.
In 1991 it was sold to a private person and restored.
The former grain box, which belonged to the Meierhof, is now owned by the community of Zwettl and is used as an event building.
