Stockenroth is a village now belonging to Sparneck in the Hof district, Bavaria, Germany.

The only four original homestead farms where situated in a loose manner around the small creek Foehrenbach, which flows into the Saxonian Saale after only a short way.

These put their lands in 1356 under the Bohemian crown, a state that only changed when the Principality of Bayreuth became an integral part of Prussia in 1792.

During that era the village and its castle were heavily used for hunting purposes by the margraves of the Principality of Bayreuth.

It was also relevant in introducing the potato as a staple food in Prussia through its connections to Bohemia, which was then reigned by the Habsburg dynasty and therefore had indirect access to the Spanish colonies.
