The valley floor, on the edge of the village center is composed of the lower terrace gravel that was deposited during the Würm glaciation of the Reuss glacier.

There are also smaller outcrops of several million years old Nagelfluhgestein. The spaces between the moraines are partially filled with Schwemmlehm, resulting in the formation of several wetlands.

History
Archaeological finds from prehistoric times are the Rohrdorferberg relatively rare, the oldest dates back to the late Neolithic period. For various finds in neighboring communities, however, it can be concluded that the area may have been settled during the early Middle Stone Age about 11,500 years ago. At the foot of the mountain in 1951 Hilti remains of a tomb were discovered from the La Tène period, it is assumed in this area a burial ground. During the Roman period may have resulted from a road Daettwil on the southwest slope of Mount Rohrdorfer until after Lunnern at Obfelden. According to the toponymy should Vogelrüti have been settled between the 6th and 8th century by the Alemanni, while Holzrüti and Vogelrüti back to deforestation in the 11th and 12th centuries.
The first mention of Rordorf should be done around 1040 in Liber Heremi the monastery of Einsiedeln; this document, however, is obtained only in a copy of the 15th century. The oldest surviving original document with the entry of the name, one of Pope Adrian IV issued umbrella letter of the monastery Muri is dated March 11, 1159. 1275 is the first time explicitly from the settlement Nidern Rordorf the speech. The place name comes from Old High Rorthorf and means " reed village ."
In the 11th and early 12th century probably practiced the Barons of Sellenbüren from the rule on Rohrdorferberg. Later, the area came under the control of the Habsburgs, who possessed here also considerable self- possession, and after 1259 by Murbach monastery the right of patronage of the church Rohrsdorf took over. The Habsburgs secured in 1273 after the extinction of competing with them Counts of Kyburg rule over the land. Ministeriale took over in their order management tasks, first the lords of Rüssegg, from 1344, the Lords of giant mountain. In the first half of the 14th century, the Office pipe village began to emerge, which largely coincided with the area of the parish. Major landowners were the monasteries Muri, Wettingen and grace valley. 1413 sold Duke Frederick IV the Rohrdorfer Church set to the Agnes Hospital in Baden.
In April and May 1415 Confederates conquered the Aargau with the Office Rohrsdorf by the Habsburgs. Vogelrüti was now part of the county of Baden, a common rule. The changing every two years, resided in Baden Federal Bailiff exercised rule over the land and the blood jurisdiction. In Holzrüti Vogelrüti and he was also in possession of the lower courts, while in Staretschwil the monastery Gnadenthal held this task. The opening, which regulated the relationship between the low court, Mr and village population, dates back to 1462 and has been preserved in a copy of 1567. Under the leadership of Pastor Heinrich Buchmann, brother of Theodor Bibliander, the parish Rohrsdorf occurred in 1529 on the Reformation. Two years later, after the reformed places were inferior in the Second Kappel War, the population of the old faith had to accept again. Towards the end of the Peasants' War of 1653 the Rohrdorferberg was a staging area at the Zurich troops on the way to a decisive battle at Wohlenschwil. During the Second Villmerger War of 1712 Catholic Central Swiss locations on May 12, occupied the hill range between Reuss and Limmat. There were repeated raids; among other things, attacked residents of Rohrdorfer Berg 's Mill Spreitenbach. Around 5,000 marched Zurich on 21 May before about the Heitersberg against Mellingen, thereby Vogelrüti was severely plundered by the troops.
The old system of rule broke out in 1798 with the French invasion and the proclamation of the Helvetic Republic together. Against the new revolutionary order growth were residents of Rohrdorfer Mount resistance, but the French troops were reflected in the Battle of Hägglingen. In the new unitary state Vogelrüti was a municipality in the district of Baden Baden canton of short-lived. The municipality covered not only the hamlets Holzrüti Vogelrüti and also the village Staretschwil. With the Act of Mediation in 1803, the new canton of Aargau was created, called Holzrüti 1804, the formation of a separate parish, but what the cantonal government refused. 1805 United Busslingen, Vogelrüti, Staretschwil, Busslingen and Staretschwil to the community pipe village, where the five parts per municipality presented a representative on the council. How did this merger is unclear, because the sources do not represent the process in detail. Driving forces were Bezirksamtmann Johann Ludwig Baldinger and Justice of the Peace John Vogler, probably some decisions autocratically like and had flouted the democratic right of participation.
The community Rohrsdorf was structurally weak. Life was geared almost exclusively to agriculture, the few businesses served local needs. From 1807 was mined in Sphagnum peat at Vogeltrüti to conserve the forest resources. The redemption of feudal dues went on for decades. Due to poverty and famine occurred after 1816 ( " year without a summer ") and again in the 1840s, waves of emigrants. Repeatedly, there were efforts by the partly autonomous village communities to separate the large congregation again, since the cooperation did not work smoothly in organizational and financial issues. Corresponding applications rejected from the cantonal government in the years 1813, 1816, 1832, 1842, 1850 and 1853. All requests came from Busslingen while Staretschwil and Busslingen not support this mostly. Finally, the Grand Council called on the government to carry out the separation. 1854 tube village was in the three municipalities Vogelrüti, Staretschwil ( with Staretschwil ) and Busslingen separately.
From the mid 19th century, the economy is gradually diversify. It began to settle commercial enterprises that produced beyond the purely local market also. The first was 1849, the metal workshop of Castor Egloff, one of the oldest metal- processing plants in the Aargau. The company has developed over the decades continuously into a modern industrial company that became the main employer in the region, today's Egro AG. The mechanization of agriculture made an amalgamation of many small parcels of land needed to manage it rationally can. The necessary goods regulation left but to wait until 1929 and initially covered only the hamlet Holzrüti (performed together with Stetten ). The rest of the municipality followed in 1941, when already the acreage had to be increased because of the plan options.
Vogelrüti possessed only a few sources of fresh water, so the water supply was accomplished primarily with Sodbrunnen. From 1908 water pipes were laid, but in later years the higher-lying houses were often without water. This situation improved significantly in 1963 with a ground water hole in the floor mat. 1911 Vogelrüti was connected to the grid, four years later followed Holzrüti and Vogelrüti. At the beginning of the Second World War, built the Swiss army from the Limmat position, which included a complex system of fortifications on the Heitersberg - range of hills; in the eggs Matt at Vogelrüti was an artillery position. With the Reduitstrategie the Limmat position lost in the summer of 1940, their importance and the village numerous quartered troops were withdrawn. As of June 1941, a unit of interned Polish soldiers was housed in two barracks in Vogelrüti.
Mid-1950s due to the continued development pressures in the centers of Baden and Zurich a flurry of construction activity. Particularly strong population growth was in the 1960s, when the population increased by almost 40%. Multi-family homes in the plane and vast terrace settlements on a slope displaced in a few years, the rural peasant village structure. 1964 zoning plan was adopted in order not to let the unbridled construction activity completely out of hand. The constructed area grew along with that of Staretschwil and Staretschwil. In 1964, the Reformed Church was opened in 1972, the Catholic Church Good Shepherd Center ( in addition to the parish church of St. Martin in Staretschwil ). After a period of stagnation from the mid-1970s since the beginning of the 21st century a marked population increase recorded. In 2005 there were considerations to seek a merger with the neighboring community Staretschwil that would have in 2010 should be made. While the Niederrohrdorferstrasse Municipal Assembly agreed to a corresponding credit planning, this was rejected in Staretschwil.
