The name of the forest hoof village Rothenbach was first used in 1256 with a "Conradus de Rotenberg" and is documented, which indicates a manor in the village. Regarding the manorial rule , the place belonged as an official village to the Glauchau rule , Hinterglauchau office until the 19th century . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Rothenbach came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 . Ecclesiastically, the place has always been part of Glauchau.

In 1918, Albertsthal , located in Glauchauer Flur, was incorporated into Rothenbach. On April 1, 1929, Rothenbach was incorporated into Glauchau. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Rothenbach came as part of the city of Glauchau in 1952 to the district of Glauchau in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued in 1990 as the Saxon district of Glauchau and in 1994 in the Chemnitzer district Land and 2008 in the district of Zwickau.
