history
Until the 18th century
At Röthenbach and Oberhäuser there were remains of Roman burgi , tower-like buildings that were erected to strengthen the border fortifications between the forts at a distance of about 1.5 to two kilometers with an almost square base area of ten to twelve meters on a side.
Röthenbach was first mentioned in a document in 861 AD.
When the monastery Mehrerau near Bregenz was founded in 1097 by Count Ulrich X. von Bregenz, the place belonged to his property. After the Udalriche , the founders of the monastery, died out, Mehrerau became the house monastery of the subsequent ruling dynasty, the Counts of Montfort . The monastery developed into the most important landlord in Röthenbach.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, the place was under the rule of the Counts of Montfort .
On February 1, 1771, the Upper Austrian postal route Bregenz -Weiler / Dorenwaid-Kempten was opened, which led from Weiler via Röthenbach to Kimpflen.
19th and 20th centuries
Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
The construction of the Rentershofen railway embankment between 1847 and 1853 brought the community an economic boom due to the large number of workers working there. The Röthenbach (Allgäu) station in the Oberhäuser district was opened on October 12, 1853.
In 1893 the Röthenbach – Weiler railway line was opened and in 1901 the connection to Scheidegg .
