 Both Unterjeckenbach and Oberjeckenbach, as well as Hohenroth up on the mountain, were repeatedly burnt down and robbed as Croatian troops of the Imperial Army passed through the area in 1635.The Plague, too, claimed many victims.It is clear that Unterjeckenbach had died out by 1642; the 1684 Herren-Sulzbach church register no longer even mentioned the village.
