history

Rüdlingen was probably founded as an Alemannic settlement in the 5th century . The first documented mention of the place Rüdlingen comes from the year 827. Leuthold von Weißenburg donated the villages of Rüdlingen and Buchberg to the Rheinau monastery in 1123 , which received its tithing from Rüdlingen in the following 400 years . In 1520 the city of Schaffhausen acquired rule over Rüdlingen and Buchberg and in 1656/1657 it was also able to acquire high jurisdiction . Until the beginning of the 19th century, Rüdlingen and Buchberg together formed one municipality, from which the two political communities Rüdlingen and Buchberg emerged after the division in 1839. In the 20th century, Rüdlingen developed from an agricultural place to a residential community with vineyards .
