RAD-Abteilung 4/225 was formed by re-assigning the former Abteilung 5/224 from Gruppe 224 Gersfeld to Gruppe 225 Schlüchtern.
It was garrisoned in a camp near Mottgers and bore the honor name "Schwarzenfels" after a nearby castle.
The unit was engaged in river regulation projects on the river Sinn and work for the Rhön plan.
