Rottenbach is a district of the Upper Franconian community Lautertal in the Coburg district .
geography
The place is about 14 kilometers north of Coburg in a valley east of the Long Mountains on the border with Thuringia and on the watershed between Main and Werra . To the west the corridor is crossed by the federal highway 73 and to the east by the former federal highway 4 . The street village was built around the fork in the road Mirsdorf - Heid - Görsdorf . The eponymous Rottenbach, a source brook of the Lauter , flows through the village. The strips of the corridor run consistently from northeast to southwest.
To the northeast of the village, directly on the Bavarian border with Thuringia, is the Rottenbacher Moor, a nature reserve with an approximately eight hectare primary high moor .
history
Rottenbach was first mentioned in a document dated February 11, 1182. Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa confirmed the property of the former Countess Palatine Gertrud and the Abbess Irmingard from the monastery of St. Maria and St. Theodor in Bamberg . In the Henneberg fiefdom from 1317, Cunrad von Hessenburg was named as a feudal lord . The place name is traced back to the stream of the same name, which washes red soil (red sandstone, clay).
At the beginning of the 14th century Rottenbach was under the rule of the Henneberger . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.
A pilgrimage chapel in Rottenbach, consecrated to Saint Anthony , patron saint of the hermits, was first documented in 1387. The community originally belonged to the original parish of Heldburg and was then subordinate to the parish of Oettingshausen . In 1511 it became an independent parish. In 1528 the neighboring communities of Heid, Görsdorf and Herbartswind were parished. Tremersdorf followed in 1535 .
In the Thirty Years War the village became deserted. By the end of the 17th century, the number of inhabitants was reached again as before the war. In 1857 156 people lived in 32 houses. In 1855 a new rectory was built and in 1884 a new cemetery was inaugurated. In 1861/62 a new school building was built and expanded in 1886 for a second school class. The place belonged to the Rodach court .
From 1878 beer was brewed next to the restaurant "Zum Auerhahn", founded in 1783. Both shops, the inn and the Meyer brewery, were family-owned. In 1963 the brewing business was stopped.
In a referendum on November 30, 1919, seven Rottenbach citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 16 against. From July 1, 1920, Rottenbach also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . On November 26, 1922, the war memorial erected for the parishioners who died in the First World War was consecrated. From 1922, the electricity supplier was the Coburg overland plant . In 1925, the 708.47 hectare village had 125 residents, all of whom belonged to the Evangelical Church, and 31 residential buildings.
From 1945 to 1990 the municipal boundary in the east and north corresponded to the inner-German border . There was a border crossing for the " small border traffic " from 1973.
On January 1, 1969, Tremersdorf was incorporated into Rottenbach, which increased its area to 1015.25 hectares. Both places are since 1 May 1978 Gemeindeteile the municipality Lauter, in the 1969 enlarged community Rottenbach was forcibly incorporated. In 1987 the parish village of Rottenbach comprised 168 people, 44 residential buildings and 53 apartments.

church
The Evangelical Lutheran St. Matthew Church was built in 1786/87 in its current form, influenced by the margrave style, with the rectangular church house. Two-storey galleries on the north and south sides and a single-storey gallery on the west side with a Rococo organ from 1786 characterize the interior. A baptismal font from 1617 and a pew from 1680 are remarkable .
