Rothenbruch was first mentioned in a document in 1705, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1200 and 1400 at the end of the medieval clearing period. Rothenbruch was a Kotten von Edelkirchen.

In 1818 ten residents lived in Rothenbruch. According to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , the place was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 13, all of whom were Protestant. At that time, the place belonged to the Kamscheider peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and owned two houses and two factories or mills.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives Rothenbruch a number of 18 residents who lived in two houses.

Since the early Middle Ages (according to other sources since prehistoric times) there was an important old road near Rothenbruch , the trade , pilgrim and military route between Hagen and Siegen , today's state road 528.
