The place was first mentioned in a document in 1245. At that time it belonged to the Dukes of Teck , after the castle there had previously belonged to the Lords of Rechberg . In 1366 the place and castle came to Austria . In 1374 Austria sold both to the Lords of Rechberg zu Hohenrechberg . Count Alois Clemens von Rechberg had the New Palace (today's town hall) built in 1721. In 1733 the Upper Village fell back to Austria. Empress Maria Theresa enfeoffed Count Johann Joseph von Preysing with it in 1749 . His son sold the village to the Counts of Degenfeld-Schonburg in 1789 . As a result of mediatization , Rechberghausen came to Württemberg at the end of 1805 . In the course of the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Rechberghausen was assigned to the Oberamt Göppingen .
In a flood disaster in 1853, 37 residents died and 8 houses were destroyed.
The administrative reform of April 25, 1938 led to membership in the district of Göppingen . After the Second World War, the place became part of the American zone of occupation and since 1945 it has belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Today there is a Protestant parish in Rechberghausen. Until 2017 it comprised the communities of Rechberghausen and Wäschenbeuren . Protestant residents moved in mainly after the Second World War. In the case of Rechberghausen these belonged initially to the parish of Bartenbach , in the case of Wäschenbeuren to the parish of Lorch. In 1955, the branch church community Rechberghausen was established as a subsidiary of the mother community Bartenbach and its own parish in Rechberghausen. In 1960/61 the Stuttgart architect Paul Heim jun. his own church, the Jesus Christ Church with community rooms on the slope floor below. The painter and graphic artist Albrecht Braun designed the church outside in the entrance area with concrete reliefs (crucifixion, resurrection, Emmaus, Pentecost) and on the east wall with a sgraffito (Michael's dragon fight). In 1974 the branch parish Rechberghausen was separated from the mother parish of Bartenbach and raised to an independent parish. At the same time, the Protestant residents from Wäschenbeuren were assigned to her. Wäschenbeuren was then detached from Rechberghausen on January 1, 2018 and connected with the Hohenstaufen parish to form the new parish on Hohenstaufen . The church community Rechberghausen also runs a kindergarten in Rechberghausen.
