Townscape

The core of Rotenkamp goes back to a round building with a chapel in the center, which was only accessible from the northwest. To this day, the origins of the Rundling can be seen particularly well in the cul-de-sac "Ackerwinkel", even if the low German hall houses were replaced by the Central German construction method due to changed management methods.

The further development since the 19th century connects to the south and north of the Rundling. In general, the development is concentrated along the local thoroughfare.
