history

Place name

The place names Riumlingen, Rumheringen, Rumeringa and Rumelingen can be found in different epochs. From the middle of the 16th century, Unter- and Oberreimlingen and from 1848 only Reimlingen are in use. (In old documents Oberreimblingen or Unterreimblingen is written with a b) The prehistory and early history: On Reimlingen's corridor - as, by the way, in the whole of Ries - a very early settlement has been proven by excavations and finds. These are the three epochs: the Neolithic and the Hall Stone Age. Occasionally, worked stones (axes and arrowheads) from that Stone Age are still found in the field. Two Roman country houses (Villa Rustica) have been confirmed by excavations in Reimlingen.

Local history

Even if Reimlingen can only document a history that goes back a little over 1225 years, it is certainly much older. There is no other way of understanding when the Frankish King Pippin and his son Charlemagne owned a large property to St. Bonifaz (Fulda Monastery) gives. These are very likely the former possessions of the Dukes of Swabia after this duchy was abolished by Pippin and the goods confiscated. This gives Reimlingen its first known documentary mention. The Benedictine monastery Lauresheim (Lorsch an der Bergstrasse) also had possessions. The counts of Spitzenberg had local rule in the 12th and 13th centuries. The Teutonic Order acquired it in 1283 and steadily expanded it through purchase or exchange. In 1531 the order received the permission of Emperor Charles V to build a fortified manor house (castle). After quarrels with the imperial city of Nördlingen and the surrounding counts, it was finally completed in 1595. At the Battle of Albuch ( Battle of Nördlingen ) in 1634 it was the headquarters of the imperial family. In the middle of the 18th century, the place was re-shaped by a variety of building measures by the Teutonic Order. Among other things, the parish church of St. George was redesigned, the parsonage was built, the castle was increased and newly fenced. This is where the current gates and the cavalier houses were built.

After the First World War : Reimlingen received new trend-setting impulses in the years of inflation through the settlement of the Mariannhill missionaries. In 1922/23 they built the seminar building (today Bildungshaus St. Albert) and used the castle, built the mission house St. Josef with a printing shop and set up a large agricultural operation in the area of ​​Colonel Lutz's steam brewery.

After the Second World War : Reimlingen is bursting at the seams due to people being displaced from the east. The first post-war buildings are built. The townscape is gradually changing, not least due to the addition of the residential buildings. The single-storey construction will be replaced by the two-storey construction and the courtyards will be 'modernized'. Due to the consolidation of land in 1955-58, the community was given local properties. The first building areas on Bergstrasse and Ostenstrasse are shown. These are used up quickly. Further developments are constantly necessary. In 1968 Riedweg and Am Keller, 1974 the Fürschwelle, 1980 Reimlingen Süd and 1993 Mittelweg are designated as building areas. An industrial park has also been created. At the same time, the school building was rebuilt in 1966, the local sewer system was installed, sewage treatment plants were built and the roads were expanded. A fire station with municipal administration (now used as the club house), a new kindergarten and much more is being built. New things came to Reimlingen. The acquisition of the castle in 1997 and its renovation in recent years, the construction of the bypass and the rehabilitation of the canal system are mastered. The current tasks are the demolition of the inner-town streets, the careful redesign of the old buildings of former small farms in the town center and their sensible use as living space or for commercial purposes, as well as the expansion of the kindergarten. Reimlingen with its citizens - whether long-established or newcomers - will master this. An integrating, intensive club life and the diverse commitment of Reimlinger citizens are a guarantee for this.
