history

Until the church is planted

The place was mentioned as "Ezzinpah" as early as 795 with reference to a stream that flows into the Rott there. In the 12th century different forms of the current name appeared, 1188 "Ruzsdorf" and already around 1230 "Ruhstorf". The name refers to the location of the village on the Rott .

At the end of the 13th century, Wernhero Walchuno de Ruestorf, the Ruhstorf family, appeared for the first time. These were important ministerials of the Wittelsbach family , who owned the open Hofmark Ruhstorf until they died out in 1735 . Then the Hofmark passed into the possession of the Counts of Fränking . After that, the Counts of Taufkirchen held them until the 19th century.

Ruhstorf an der Rott belonged to the Landshut Rent Office and the Griesbach Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
