The name relates to a chapel that was located below the castle Rodeck.[3] Initially, Kappelrodeck was part of the land controlled by the prince-bishop of Strasbourg. During the Thirty Years' War and the French revolution, Kappelrodeck suffered from cruelties by every side. In 1803, Kappelrodeck was transferred to the house of Baden. In 1898, it was connected to the railway system. During the two world wars, the town itself was spared. After the second world war, it became part of the French zone.
