history
Rünthe was first mentioned as Rennethe in 1277, had only 293 inhabitants in 1900 and was considered a sparsely populated village. When the Werne colliery was founded , this changed suddenly. The population rose rapidly, to 1846 in 1905.
The Rünthe express train settlement is the first of three colliery settlements that were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries on the area of the old Haus Rünthe estate . The construction of the Rünthe-Süd colony followed in 1910/11 and, from 1924, Rünthe-West. Shaft III of the Werne colliery was sunk in 1912 on the former farm of the farmer Timpeltei, and coal mining began in 1915. Due to the slowdown in sales caused by the global economic crisis, Shaft III, like many other shafts, was shut down in 1930. After the end of the war in 1946, the shaft was used again to bring the Rünther miners quickly to the site before it was finally closed in 1960. The headframe of the facility, once the town's landmark, was dismantled on May 5, 1986. The former laundromat of the colliery, which is under monument protection, was used as a cultural center until 2018. The building has now been sold to a private real estate company and used for commercial purposes.
The Bumannsburg ground monument is also worth mentioning . It is located in a forest near the A1 motorway in the Rünther area. The walls of the Saxon-Franconian double wall ring system, which are overgrown by heavy tree vegetation, are still clearly visible. The facility served the farmers from the area as a refuge . Today an educational forest trail has been laid out within the facility .
The parish vicarie Marie Hofbauer St. Clemens and the parish church Herz Jesu are also located in Rünthe.

The municipal coat of arms, which was only created in 1961, shows the Brandenburg chess bar as a sign of earlier membership of the county of Mark ; the ring comes from the coat of arms of the gentlemen von Altenbockum , former owners of Haus Rünthe, and the star comes from the coat of arms of those of Aden.
