In 1910 there were following households in Rutsch: farmer Maximilian Engels, factory worker Heinrich Meurer, mason Heinrich Stricker and mason Heinrich Wittkopp.[1] In 2024 the village had 26 inhabitants.[2]

Until 1 August 1969 the village Rütsch belonged to the Uckerath municipality. As a part of municipal reform of the Bonn area, Uckerath, and thus also the village Rütsch, were assigned to the then-new independent municipality Hennef (Sieg).
