history

A pile dwelling colony was discovered near Rothenlachen , which was examined by the Princely Hohenzoller archivist Karl Theodor Zingeler in 1893. In Rothenlachen, in the “Leopoldswald” area, there are two burial mounds of a Celtic clan from Celtic times . Furthermore, a people's castle (ring wall system) is known.

The village was first mentioned in 1224 when it was donated to the Wald monastery . The place was originally in the area of Goldineshuntare , then in Gau Ratoldesbuch and later in the county of Sigmaringen . In the course of the 13th century it passed to the Wald monastery, in 1474 also the lower court and the village rule and at the end of the 16th century local serfdom. In the first half of the 16th century, Rothenlachen formed a judicial and administrative district with the neighboring villages of Riedetsweiler and Ruhestetten . After the destruction of Ruhestetten in the Thirty Years War, the place was considered "half a community".

With the transition of the umbrella bailiwick of the Wald von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen monastery to Austria in 1783, the place left the county of Sigmaringen. In 1806 the village, like the entire forest territory, fell to the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen through the secularization of the monastery due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and in 1850 to Prussia as the Hohenzollern country . From 1806 Rothenlachen belonged to the princely and from 1850 to 1862 to the Prussian Oberamt Wald , since then to the Oberamt and from 1925 to the Sigmaringen district . In the 13th century, lords of Eberhardsweiler, von Ertingen, von Steinfurt and Counts of Nellenburg owned and owned the place .

On January 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Rothenlachen was incorporated into the community of Wald.
