history

The current B 256 running through Rodt was already a busy road in the 18th century that connected the Ruhr area and the Siegerland. In 1766 the bakery and restaurant "Albert Wirth" was built here, which served the truckers as a rest and transformer station. The restaurant is still operated today as a restaurant and hotel under the name "Hotel Landhaus Wirth".

In 1888, the municipality's first telephone connection was installed in the Wirth restaurant.

In 1903 a converted stable building became a Protestant school for the children from Rodt, Stülinghausen , Eberg and Kalsbach . At the end of 1933 the school was closed. The building now serves as a residential building.

Today's oldest sports field in the community was completed in Rodt in 1925 after a five-year construction period.

The place experienced strong growth at the turn of the last century. The shopping center has been built, a new residential area has been set up and the industrial area has been expanded. The traffic situation was also eased by the construction of roundabouts.
