history

Mountain church on the castle hill

At the place, which was originally called Schermbach, the family of the Counts of Rotteneck, descendants of the Lords of Abensberg , lived from 1169 to 1279 . Around 1220, Count Meinhard von Rotteneck, a grandson of Gebhard I von Abensberg, built the Mainburg fortress on the so-called Hofberg and thus established a. the foundation stone for the construction of the city of Mainburg. The last descendant of the family, Bishop Count Heinrich von Rotteneck zu Regensburg, sold Rotteneck Castle and all its possessions on August 21, 1279, including that in Mainburg to Duke Ludwig II in favor of his cathedral church. The Mainburg Nursing Court was later formed from the castle and county of Rotteneck. Rotteneck Castle was expanded in 1551, destroyed in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1705 and demolished between 1722 and 1724. To this day, a castle stable has been preserved on the Rottenegger Berg . In 1722, the mountain church, picturesquely situated above the village, was built on it as a souvenir of the former castle. At its foot is the grave of the French Brigadier General Henri François Lambert, who fell into the wall and was buried here in 1796. The deadly shrapnel is kept in the walls of the village church. The burial site is maintained by the local warrior and veteran association. Among other things, a flower bowl in the colors of the Tricolore is laid down every year.

General Lambert's grave

On January 1, 1978 Rottenegg was incorporated into the city of Geisenfeld.

In 2016 the 2000 square meter village square was redesigned.

economy

Until the 1980s, hop growing was an important industry in Rottenegg, which is why there are still many, but often disused, farms to be found today. Numerous jobs in this sector were lost as a result of modernization measures. Today, many farms are used as part-time operations for forestry.
