Carol, I used the simple expedient of typing Röderthal into google maps and came up with a road (the K20) and what looks like a collection of a few houses approximately 1km north east of Iggelbach. That Röderthal is approx 15km south west of Bad Dürkheim. Hope that helps.

I'm finding Sinsheim, Eschelbach, Angelbachthal, but not Röderthal. Perhaps it's a disused term for one of the valleys in that area. A local should know. FYI - thal = valley. > As an aside. When I was in high school in Hannibal, NY in the 1970s, one of my English teachers was Bill Hornung.
