geography
Geographical location
Rietheim-Weilheim is on the edge of the Großer Heuberg on the southwest Swabian Alb . The vast majority of the community is located in the Faulenbach valley .

Parish Church of St. George
At the beginning of the 14th century, the foundation stone for the Gothic style chapel, which was dedicated to St. George , was laid in what is now the Weilheim district . The tower is the oldest part of today's church; the chapel was only raised to a parish church in 1776. The tower or its onion-shaped roof is a landmark of Weilheim and a distinctive feature of the Faulenbachtal. In the past, extensive renovation, refurbishment and modernization measures were carried out inside and outside - most recently in 1993.
Evangelical parish church
The New Year's Eve chapel was built in today's Rietheim district as early as the year 1000. In 1835, a large part of the chapel was demolished as old and dilapidated, but the tower remained. In the same year the church was rebuilt in a simple style, this structure has survived to the present day. Between 1963 and 1964, the interior of the church was renovated and modernized. To celebrate its 150th anniversary, the New Year's Church was renovated in 1985, with the exterior remaining unchanged.
Maria-Hilf chapel
At the end of the 19th century, the Maria-Hilf-Chapel was built by the citizens of Weilheim. Doggererz was mined there until 1861 for the blast furnaces in Ludwigsthal . Women and children were forbidden from entering the 3.5 km long tunnel excavated by Untersteiger Bosch on June 13, 1857. The lighting is done with petroleum. Before starting work, the men stood around the hole and said an Our Father. The provisional assessor Steinheil archived in file E 244 Bü 96 on February 23, 1858 a floor plan and elevation of the status of the mine work in the iron stone seam near Weilheim, in black and red ink, in the format 57.7 × 64.8 cm , drawn.
The chapel has recently also shone in the spotlights at night.
