history

Until the church is planted

Rottendorf, originally "Rotendorf" or "Rodendorf", was first mentioned in a document around 1025. As part of the Hochstift Würzburg (Stift Haug), which belonged to the Franconian Empire , Rottendorf was secularized in 1803 in favor of Bavaria, then in the Peace of Pressburg (1805) left to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 . In 1818 the political municipality was established. On his estate in Rottendorf, Joel Jakob von Hirsch founded a beet sugar factory in addition to a brewery in 1836, whereby he received support from the Bavarian government in order to make the kingdom independent of cane sugar imports from overseas.
