history
The area of today's municipality of Riegel has about 7000 years of settlement history, which goes back to the Neolithic Age. Finds from the cultures of the band ceramics , Rössen , Michelsberger and bell beakers are proven. From the 1st and 2nd centuries BC Various Bronze, Hallstatt and Celtic findings come from the 4th century BC . In 2001 a Celtic gold coin treasure was found. Archaeological evidence is primarily of Roman settlements such as the Roman military camp that was built in the middle of the 1st century and the larger settlement ( vicus ) that developed afterwards . While the finds reach into the 4th century, the 2nd century is considered the heyday, when the Roman settlement “Rigola” was the administrative center for today's Breisgau .
In the 6th and 7th centuries, a Franconian royal court with a church dedicated to St. Martin was built on the Fronhofbuck . The will of the bishop Heddo of Strasbourg from the year 762 has proven to be a forgery of the years 1111 to 1125 and sprang from the successful pursuit of Ettenheimer monks from Emperor Henry V to be confirmed in their possessions . After a first documentary mention on July 13, 781, Hildegunt gave various goods from her property in Riegel to the Lorsch Monastery . From 952 it came to the monastery of Einsiedeln by order of King Otto I von Guntram the rich .
On March 4, 1179, the Zähringen Duke Berthold IV stayed with his son with his Ministerial Wernher von Roggenbach in the Riegeler Burg . Around 1200 the community Riegel received Mauer, Graben and the gates Schäfertor, Wassertor and Dörl . The castle came to the Lords of Üsenberg as a fief in 1218 . In 1353, Einsiedeln Abbey sold its property in Riegel to the Freiburg patrician Johann Malterer , whose eleven grandchildren were joint heirs and founded the Riegel community . Via Johann Malterer, the place in front of Austria came under the Habsburg rulership in 1368, where it remained for four and a half centuries. The Dominican convent of St. Katharina was founded in 1450 and dissolved again in 1779. The Einsiedeln monastery sold its patronage rights to the Ettenheimmünster monastery in 1483. During the Thirty Years War , Riegel was besieged on November 5, 1633 by troops under the Swedish General Horn and badly damaged. In 1651 a new, supplemented municipal lordship order was issued, while the place only had 150 inhabitants. In 1784, today's town hall was built as a community mansion.
In 1806 Riegel came to the Grand Duchy of Baden . Important infrastructural measures in the 19th century were the construction of the Leopold Canal from 1837 to 1842, through which the floods through Elz and Dreisam were largely prevented. Riegel received a rail connection for the first time in 1845 with the construction of the Baden main line from Mannheim to Basel.

Municipal coat of arms
Since the first partial lordship order in 1491, the municipal coat of arms has shown a head. In the 19th century, the coat of arms was set as a Roman head wreathed with green laurel in gold on a blue background, which is supposed to indicate the Roman past of the place.

Cemetery chapel
Parish Church of St. Martin

The slightly retracted choir with a semicircular apse is attached to the single nave nave . The church tower integrated into the elegantly curved facade has an onion dome. Well-known artists contributed to the rich artistic equipment. The Rococo stucco work was done by Hans Georg Gigel from the Gigl family of artists , while Benedikt Gambs created the altar and ceiling paintings. The first organ came from the workshop of Johann Andreas Silbermann in Strasbourg. In a fire on October 28, 1936, the original interior was largely destroyed and reconstructed during the subsequent reconstruction. After partial destruction in World War II, the baroque furnishings were restored again and recently extensively renovated.
Michael's Chapel
The Michaelskapelle is one of the landmarks of the place and is visible from afar on the Michaelsberg. It was first mentioned in a document on the occasion of its rededication in 969. As a castle chapel, it belonged to Riegel Castle, which was first mentioned in 1160 and destroyed in 1356 . Timbers from the years 1283–1293 are built into the roof structure, around 1465 the chapel was renewed and with the late Gothic choir was largely given its current appearance. The Michael's Chapel also served as a pilgrimage church.
Cemetery chapel
When the cemetery was expanded in 1901, the directors of the Meyer & Söhne brewery company decided to donate a cemetery chapel to the community . In July 1903 the architect Paul Meißner from Darmstadt was won. On August 5th, the excavation of the excavation began, and a Roman cellar was discovered as a remnant of a Roman house. The completion of the chapel in the typical neo-baroque style of the brewery took until 1907. The inauguration took place on October 29, 1907 and the donation to the community on January 31, 1908. In 1973, the neighboring consecration hall was built.
Käppele
The so-called Käppele or Kreuzheusslin / Kreuzkäpplin building was mentioned as early as 1555 and is today near the Protestant church. The townscape from 1709 clearly shows that it is outside the town in front of the village wall across from the Schäfertor. The building itself is quite small in its base area of approx. 2 m × 2.5 m and executed in an open construction. This allows a direct look at a figure of the risen Christ standing inside. In front of it, a knee bench serves as a barrier.
Protestant church
In 1897, 22 men voted to build a prayer room at a meeting. After Jakob Kaderlin had donated the building site and the Lepp and Kaderlin families guaranteed a loan, the Protestant church was built within nine months in 1898 , at that time still outside the village. The church is in the neo-Gothic style.
