Rothenbuch is one of the oldest and most important towns in the Inner Spessart region. The first documented mention of "zuo den Rodenboychen" dates back to 1318, when the Archbishop of Mainz, Peter von Aspelt, and the Bishop of Würzburg, Gottfried III von Hohenlohe, concluded a security cooperation agreement here. In 1342, construction began on a castle in Rothenbuch, at the source of the Hafenlohr River. The first inhabitants were likely settled there as hunting lodgers. During the Peasants' War of 1525, the castle was severely damaged or destroyed. In 1566, the castle was rebuilt and expanded on the orders of Daniel Brendel von Homburg, Elector of Mainz. The first depiction of Rothenbuch can be found on one of the oldest existing Spessart maps, the so-called Pfinzig map from 1594. Source: Wikipedia
