 In contrast with other out-of-the-way villages in the Western Palatinate, transport links are relatively favourable because the village lies near Wolfstein and Kaiserslautern, and there has been no great drop in population as there has been in comparable villages whose transport links are not quite as favourable.In the late 18th century, 52 families lived in Rothselberg, amounting to 332 inhabitants.By 1825 this had grown to 589 inhabitants, all cleaving to the Evangelical faith.
