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.
