Tips
The place name is derived from Rosenberg Castle, whose owner Eberhart von Rosenbergk was first mentioned by name in 1398. The castle name is a fantasy name that does not refer to a real fact, as was still common until the 13th century. From this it can be concluded that the castle was probably only built in the 14th century, when such fantasy names came up. The place itself was first mentioned by name in 1442 as "Roßenberg".
