Details About Roth

Roth is a district in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by the districts of Nurnberger Land, Neumarkt, Eichstatt, Weibenburg-Gunzenhausen, Ansbach and Furth, and the cities of Schwabach and Nuremberg. In medieval times the region was ruled by many lords. Brandenburg-Ansbach and Nuremberg owned possessions in this territory, and other parts were property of clerical states. When these clerical states were dissolved in 1803, the district fell to Bavaria.
