Rorodt is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The municipality lies in the Hunsrück and belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Thalfang am Erbeskopf, whose seat is in the municipality of Thalfang.
In 1136, Rorodt had its first documentary mention as Roveroth. Rorodt belonged until Secularization to the Archbishopric of Trier and was part of the Mark Thalfang, a territory roughly corresponding to today’s Verbandsgemeinde. After French rule ended, the village passed in 1814 to the Kingdom of Prussia. Since 1947, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote proportional representation at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.
Racing through the night
Pounding engine's roar
There's nothing that's like this
I'm burning to the core
Exhaust hangs in the air
Wind pressure thrusts my face
I love to ride and dare
Tonight I'm being chased
Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride
On burning wheels tonight
Shooting through the dark
Taking bend after bend
Pistons are pumping hard
I'm gonna ride to the end
Twilight's coming slow
Like a jackal on attack
But I know I have to go
To go on and show my back
Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride
On burning wheels tonight
I have to break free, to live on my own way tonight
I don't give a goddamn, what you want to force upon me
