In the Middle Ages, Rothengrund belonged to the Mömbris court. This in turn was part of the Alzenau Free Court. The free court was directly imperial, but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau, the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein.

In 1500, the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, including Rothengrund, which they now administered as a condominium until 1740 when it was between the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel as heirs of Counts of Hanau and Kurmainz came to a real division of the free court. Rothengrund fell to Mainz.

On July 1, 1862, the Alzenau district office was formed, on whose administrative area Rothengrund lay. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Rothengrund now belonged to the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia.
