A Note On The Spelling
According to the German spelling reform of the 1990s, which curbed the use of the letter ß, Rößl, which has a diminutive suffix added to the noun Roß ("horse", "steed"), now has to be spelt Rössl (just as it is Ross now instead of Roß). Therefore, both Rößl and Rössl can be seen nowadays, depending on when a particular text was written.
