Geographical Area
The Röthen originates near Wiefelsburg, located between Steinach and the hamlet of Einödgehöft. From its source on the southern edge of the Thuringian Slate Mountains near Sonneberg, the Röthen flows through the Röthengrund, passing through the town of Sonneberg and crossing the border into Upper Franconia. In Upper Franconia, the local Itzgründischen dialect maintains the pronunciation" Rüed'n'", while the official spelling changes to Röden. The Röden flows through Neustadt and Rödental, and joins the Itz at Rödental.
