history

Archaeological finds date from the Middle and Neolithic as well as the Urnfield Period . The Celts smelted here ores and erected on the conical hill a fortification . A Roman road led from Faimingen through the district to Oberdorf am Ipf .

Reistingen was first mentioned in 1164. At that time donated Adilbert II., A son of the Count of Kyburg-Dillingen , the Reistingen Abbey , a Benedictine monastery , which a short time later in a secular convent was transformed. Protection of the Vogteirecht was granted to the bishopric of Augsburg in 1259 . In 1450 the monastery was incorporated into the bishopric, which now exercised lower jurisdiction . The high courts had the duchy of Bavaria as a successor to the county Dillingen . With the regional court of Höchstädt, to which Reistingen had belonged since the Middle Ages, the place came to Pfalz-Neuburg in 1505 .

In the Thirty Years' War seven courtyards and numerous other parts of the building were destroyed. A fire in 1737 almost completely destroyed 23 buildings.

In 1783 Reistingen came to the bishopric Augsburg with all rights. Until 1788 it was under the Dillingen rent office and from 1789 under the newly created Wittislingen care office . In the course of secularization , the place became part of Bavaria in 1803 and was assigned to the Dillingen district court .
