Rosbach vor der Höhe is a town in the district of Wetteraukreis, in Hesse, Germany. It is located 25 kilometres north of Frankfurt am Main, on the eastern side of the Taunus mountain range. The town has a population of approximately 12,000. == History == The first documented mention of Rosbach took place in 884. The district Rodheim was already mentioned in 805. Archeological discoveries dates the first settlements back to Neolithic ages and the era of the Celts. The origin of the name Rosbach is still unknown. The town was named after the nearby stream ((ドイツ語:Bach)) of the same name, obviously. The most accepted version of the origin of the word ''Rosbach'' itself is, that it is derived from the Middle High German ''roezen'' or ''rozen'' ((ドイツ語:rösten); (英語:to ret)). The most common craft in Rosbach was the weaving of linen〔 〕 and retting is used to describe the process of the separation of the fibre from the stem during the production of linen. In 884 Rosbach was annected to the Fulda monastery due to a gift by the Emperor Charles the Fat.〔 〕 In 1663, Rosbach received town privileges under the control of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, the Count of Nassau and the Electorate and Archbishopric of Trier. Rosbach was a part of the Historic road ''along the Long Hesse'' ((ドイツ語:de:Durch die langen Hessen)) connecting Frankfurt and Leipzig. During 1850 and 1926 manganese ore was mined in 80 mine workings. During this time the natural resource brought technological progress and the population increased dramatically. In 1901 Nieder-Rosbach was connected to the rail network of Germany as part of the rail connection between Friedberg and Bad Homburg. In 1912 the common district of Ober- und Nieder-Rosbach was separated. In 1970 Nieder-Rosbach was incorporated by Ober-Rosbach. In August 1972 Rodheim losts its independence in terms of local politics and is a part of the town Rosbach since. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rosbach vor der Höhe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
