history

Remnants of Roman villas and manors near Berg were found parallel to the elevated areas of Riedlingen . This correlates with the popular tradition that the Romanesque substructure of the tower of the local St. Laurentius (Lorenz) Church was originally a lighthouse for shipping on the Danube (this initially seemingly absurd statement can be seen as a verifying similarity Feld that later the tower of the Donauwörther Liebfrauenmünster or the tower keeper who lived on it until the 19th century actually had the task of the city to use (tube) signals to warn and warn of what was clearly visible from his tower apartment influence the shipping traffic taking place along the Danube). In any case, it is certain that the Catholic parish located at the church in question was the original parish of the city of Donauwörth (until 1607 Schwäbisch Werd or, in the Middle Ages, only Werd or Guerde ), of which today's city parish church (an original St. . -Ulrichs- and Afra-Patronage) has become independent from church law.

On July 1, 1973, the place was incorporated into the district town of Donauwörth as part of the municipal reform.
