In 1815 the community first belonged to Austria . After the Congress of Vienna , it was added to Bavaria a year later . From 1818 to 1862, "Rutzweiler an der Lauter" - as it was spelled at the time - continued to belong to the Wolfstein canton and was part of the Kusel Land Commissioner , which was then converted into a district office.

In 1939 the place was incorporated into the district of Kusel . After the Second World War , Rutsweiler became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the community became part of the Wolfstein Association in 1972 .
