    The Schlossberg is Rosenberg's landmark. There is an ancient settlement area on the plateau of the karst rock ridge
    (Hallstadt / urn field period, 1200 - 450 BC.
    Chr.). Probably around 1100 a castle, called Rosenburg, was built on this mountain.
    The earliest verified owner of
    Rosenberg was the imperial ministerial family of the Koenigsteiner who lived on the Rosenburg
    probably had its first fortified seat.
    From this family, whose coat of arms the
    Rose leads, the name is also derived
    from the castle and place. After death
    Ulrichs II of Königstein inherited 1252/53
    his son-in-law Walter Schenk
    von Klingenburg, scion of a Hohenstaufen
    Ministerial family, the possessions. As
    sovereign care office were castle
    and associated lands in the sequence
    different noble families as fiefs
    allocated. The nursing office changed in 1410
    to the noble Hofmark Rosenberg. The
    Burg was subsequently the seat of the Zenger von
    Velburg, the Kemnater, the Stiber, Doles
    and Erlbeck. Around 1520 a synagogue was built
    the Jewish community Sulzbach on the
    Rosenberger castle mentioned. From the middle of
    The 16th century fell into disrepair.
    Chronicler Johannes Braun describes them
    1648 as "an old building, an apartment
    for owls and bats and other
    Vermin".
    The Schlossberg
    In the 20th century only the stump of the former Rosenburg was
    To see castle tower. About his leftovers
    the leaders of the Maxhütte left a memorial (war memorial) in memory
    build the dead of the First World War,
    which was inaugurated in 1929. Also to the
    Fallen of World War II
    remembered today with this memorial.

      This place to commemorate the war victims defines the Rosenberg villagescape as a monumental work - for many it has meanwhile become a landmark that has become indispensable. Before, the tower stump of the old Rosenberg Castle stood at this place, this was walled. The war victims memorial can be visited and offers a beautiful view of the city.
