history

Reusten was founded by the Alemanni around the 6th century . The name can probably be derived from the Alemannic first name Rusto . During excavations, Neolithic settlements were discovered on the Kirchberg. The oldest finds can be dated to around 4500 BC. Backdate. Remains of the medieval Kräheneck castle still puzzles about its inhabitants. The Church of the Holy Cross was built on the Kirchberg by monks from the Bebenhausen Monastery around 1300 and stood up there until 1759. An old Roman road that once ran north of the Wolfsberg settlement and which was later called "Königsstraße" must be mentioned. In the Middle Ages, there was an old Germanic court on it. A donation at the time of Emperor Lothar, which was sealed on this court, was the reason for the first documentary mention of "Rusten" in the donation book of the Reichenbach monastery; written between 1138 and 1152.

The people of Reusten received the nickname "Totenrugeler" (Swabian Daudarugaler) according to an anecdote: at a winter funeral on the Kirchberg - the cemetery is located there - one of the pallbearers is said to have slipped and the coffin and the dead person to have "rolled" down the mountain.

The founder of the Swabian dialect theater, Gottlieb Friedrich Wagner, was born in Reusten on November 3, 1774 . From 1946 to 1951, the athlete for heavy athletics, Fritz Wenninger, lived here in the Gasthof Lamm .

On December 1, 1971, Reusten merged with five other municipalities to form the new municipality of Ammerbuch.
