Dietenheim was first mentioned in a document in the tradition book of the Brixen monastery in 995.

The place name is of early medieval origin and is formed as a patronymic from the Bavarian duke name Theodo and the suffix -heim . The name thus refers to the settlement of the South Tyrolean Puster Valley by the Bavarians .

With St. Georgen, Aufhofen and Tesselberg, Dietenheim belonged to the Bruneck District Court in the Middle Ages and early modern times.

The "Ambt zu Dyettenhaim" was until 1683, when it was acquired by the Brixen Cathedral Chapter, the administrative center of the Pustertal property of Sonnenburg Monastery .

In the 18th century, as a result of the Austrian administrative reform from 1754 to 1788, Dietenheim was the seat of the district office of Dietenheim (Pustertal and Eisack), whose files are kept at the Bolzano State Archives .
