The founding is believed to be in the 12th century. The oldest mention of Roßbach dates back to 1318. At that time, the town belonged to the church administration of the town of Hof. The original village lay on the trade route between Eger (now Cheb) and Plauen. As early as 1413 it was reported that the population lived largely from weaving.Source and more info
