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.
