history

The name goes back to the gender of the Reitau .
There is the spelling "von Reitau" as well as "von Raitenau", first mentioned in 805 .

From 1325, those of Raitenau are documented in Vorder- (or Unter-) Raitenau in the Allgäu, temporarily also in Ober-Raitenau, north of Lindau. The Raitenau emigrated to the Allgäu after their old castle in the Swiss rule of Lenzburg was broken by the Habsburgs.

The von Raitenau sold their moated castle Unter-Raitenau to the Ravensburger patrician Hans Hübschlin in 1375 . Johann Hans Rudolf von Raitenau was Prince Abbot of the Prince Abbey of Kempten from 1507 to 1523 .
Hans Gauzenz von Raitenau received the “Burg Hofen” as an Austrian fief in 1562 and had Hofen Castle built in Lochau on this site in 1584/85 . Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau (1559–1617) was born at Hofen Palace and was later Archbishop of Salzburg (1587–1612). In 1632 the von Raitenau were raised to the rank of count, and in 1671 the family finally went out with the death of Rudolf Hannibal Graf von Raitenau (1632–1671).

On July 1, 1971, Oberreitnau was merged with the neighboring community of Unterreitnau to form the municipality of Reitnau , which was incorporated into Lindau on January 1, 1976.

At the time of the census on May 25, 1987, the population of the former municipal area was 1586 people.
