History

Rothflössel 1631 mentioned as Rotenflues. It was built on the eponymous river and belonged to the rule Mittelwalde, with which it shared the story of his political and religious affiliation. After the Silesian Wars, it coincided with the county of Glatz in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg to Prussia. After the reorganization of Prussia belonged since 1815 to the province of Silesia and was first incorporated into the county of Glatz. 1818 was reclassified in the newly formed district Habelschwerdt with which it was connected until 1945. 1939 were counted 69 inhabitants.

As a result of World War II Rothflössel fell in 1945 as almost all of Silesia to Poland and was renamed Czerwony Strumień. The German population was expelled. The new inhabitants were partly displaced persons from eastern Poland. Since 1945 it belonged to the powiat Bystrzycki. Due to the remote border location, the inhabitants left the place in the following decades, whereby the houses and farms were divulge to decay. Czerwony Strumień applies for several decades as no longer existent. The area still belongs to the urban and rural community Międzylesie.
