The Weimar – Gera railway line runs to the north, followed by federal motorway 4 . This means that the district is very well connected in terms of transport.

history

The village was first mentioned in documents in 1349/50. In 1842 the Rutha village church was built on a new site on the mountain. The old church near the stream has been converted into a residential building. You can still see 2 arched windows on the north side of house no.21. The oldest register of the inhabitants comes from the first half of the 15th century.

Since its incorporation into the Wettin state, the place belonged to the manor Drackendorf within the administrative district of Burgau, later the district of Jena, until 1920. With the formation of the state of Thuringia, it came to the district of Jena-Stadtroda.

On July 1, 1950, Rutha was incorporated into Sulza.
