Altrohlau was first mentioned in a document in 1422. From the second half of the 16th century there was a fortress on this site, which was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War .

In 1847 there were 67 houses with 484 inhabitants. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in the Austrian Empire in 1848/49, Altrohlau belonged to the Tüppelsgrün rule . In 1849 the place was incorporated into the judicial district of Karlsbad . Altrohlau was originally parish to Zettlitz and was raised to its own parish at the beginning of the 20th century. Part of Putschirn was parish .

After the First World War , Alt Rohlau was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In 1926 Altrohlau received city rights. Due to the Munich Agreement , the place came to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 belonged to the district of Karlsbad , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland .

After the end of the Second World War , the Sudeten German population was largely expropriated and expelled , citing the Beneš decrees issued in 1945 . In 1968 Viernheim in Hessen took over the sponsorship of the displaced citizens from Altrohlau living in Germany. In 1976 the city was incorporated into Karlsbad .
