The war came home to Rohrbach: in 1940, a twin-engine bomber had to make an emergency landing on the Halterskopf, in 1943, there was an aerial engagement above the village, and of course, the village was occupied in 1945. This happened at about ten o’clock in the morning on 18 March, and the village did not fall without a fight. American tanks and German infantry engaged each other, resulting in four deaths on the German side.
