history
The Knottenried area was cleared through clearing. The Welfs come into consideration as the lordly bearers of the clearing activity.
In 1090, Knottenried, presumably together with Zaumberg, was donated to the Weingarten Welf Monastery.
The first known mention of the parish of Knottenried comes from the year 1143. On April 9, 1143, Pope Innocent II took the Weingarten monastery and its possessions, including a number of them by name, under his special protection. It says: Zunberc cum suis appendiciis. Ecclesiam in Riet cum investitura (Zaumberg with its appendices, the church in Knottenried with the pastor's right to appoint).
Further documentary mentions of the parish of Knottenried are documented in 1153, 1275, 1278 and 1349.
Knottenried became a fiefdom of the nobles of Prassberg in 1520, together with other estates, and finally in 1538 it became the property of the Rothenfels lordship.
In 1805 Knottenried became Bavarian. From 1818 to 1971 Knottenried was part of the political municipality of Diepolz. In the course of the regional reform, Knottenried became a district of the city of Immenstadt on January 1st, 1972.
