The first written mention of the place under the name "Reckindal" took place in 1383, when the furnishing of an altar in the parish church of Montabaur was described.

According to a directory from 1548, the three localities Bladernheim , Reckenthal ( Reckendal ) and Wirzenborn ( Wirzendal ) formed a "colliery" (administrative district) of the Electorate of Trier Montabaur .

After the formation of the Rhine Confederation , Reckenthal belonged to the Duchy of Nassau from 1806 . Under the Nassau administration, Reckenthal was assigned to the Nassau Office of Montabaur and until 1815 to the administrative district of Ehrenbreitstein, then to the administrative district of Wiesbaden .

According to statistics from the Duchy of Nassau from 1843, the community of Reckenthal had 135 inhabitants who lived with 27 families in 22 houses. The residents were without exception Catholic.

In 1866 the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by Prussia . The community of Reckenthal became part of the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau in 1867 and belonged to the then newly formed Unterwesterwaldkreis . In 1946 the municipality of Reckenthal became part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

church

Reckenthal was always a branch of the parish of Montabaur. There was a small half-timbered chapel in the village, the origin of which is uncertain, but originated at the latest from the middle of the 18th century. In an entry in the school chronicle of the village from 1922, it is noted that a new bell was purchased as a replacement for the bell drawn in during World War I and that the old bell was from 1756. The chapel was used for prayer by the residents of Reckenthal; other services were not held in it. From 1898 to 1952 the miraculous image from the pilgrimage church in Wirzenborn was placed in the Reckenthaler chapel.

In place of the half-timbered chapel, today's Herz-Jesu-Kapelle was built in 1959/60.

Kurhotel Waldesruhe

It is located in the Gelbach Valley, about one kilometer northeast of Reckenthal, directly on the border with the Holler community .

In 2010, the question about the renovation of the hotel led to a small inquiry from the CDU state parliament member Ulla Schmidt to the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament.

The Ministry of the Interior and for Sport rejected state funding for the renovation of the hotel and justified this among other things. a. with the fact that the relevant meetings of the “Constitutional Committee of the Mixed Commission for the Establishment of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate” took place in Koblenz and Bad Kreuznach.
