history
Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century. Since 1490 it has been assigned to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns . The municipality of Redlham first appears in records around 1300 under the name Roetelhaim and around 1500 as Retlham . The places with the "-ing" in their name (Hainprechting, Jebing, Piesing, Fisching) indicate that the community was already settled at the time of the Bavarian conquest in the 6th and 7th centuries AD. For the longest time Redlham belonged to the Puchheim manor. The municipal law of 1850 declared Redlham as an autonomous municipality, which, however, has been merged into an administrative community with Oberndorf and Schlatt . From September 1, 1850, Johann Fellner was the first mayor of the community. The administrative community was dissolved in 1931 and Redlham has been managed independently since then.
During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times.
Since 1918 the place belongs to the federal state of Upper Austria. After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.
The community was part of the Schwanenstadt judicial district until the end of 2004 and became part of the Vöcklabruck judicial district on January 1, 2005.
