history

Radlinghausen was first mentioned in 1306 as Ratynchusen. At that time, the Radlinghausen estate was sold by Volpert Baecken and his wife Margarethe to the Verspersslegelle and to the Scharfenberg family. Engelbert van Brilon and the Mayor of Rüthen Rodenberch were the guarantors.

Radlinghausen is the only remaining wagon village in North Rhine-Westphalia . In 1493 the Bredelar monastery acquired the manorial power , which it held until 1803. Radlinghausen belonged to the 19th century to the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia for office Thülen .

Towards the end of the Second World War , evacuees due to air raids were also housed in the village of Radlinghausen. In March 1945 some men from the Volkssturm arrived in the village. On March 28th, scattered soldiers of the Wehrmacht reached the village with trucks to quarter themselves. On March 29, a marching group from the Brilon military training camp reached the village. These young people should march towards the northeast to form a "defense" there. A little later, US tanks from the direction of Haus Almerfeld reached the village. The German soldiers fled or hid. A US soldier blew up a cash register and threw its contents on the street. The villagers looted the cash register and the German military trucks. For one night, villagers had to clear some houses for US troops. US patrols later combed the village.

In the Second World War, seven Radlinghausen soldiers died, mostly on the Eastern Front .

Since January 1, 1975 the village has been part of the city of Brilon.
