history

The Pontifical Gundekarianum contains the earliest reference to "Ruite" ; accordingly, the Eichstatt Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church there between 1057 and 1075. Aerbo and Gerolt de Ruite (Ruitte, Rute) can be traced back to local nobility from 1130 to 1140. In 1251 a Mathilde Schovarius gave the Wülzburg monastery an estate at "Rueth"; In 1288, Chunrad and Heinrich von Salach gave the Heilsbronn monastery two farms in the village. Ulrich von Truhendingen sold his estate in "Geruet" in 1298. In 1434 the village is referred to as "Gereuth". In 1435 Hans Schenk von Geyern sold some goods to "Rewt" to the Duke of Bavaria; Jörg Schenk of Bavaria, who relinquished his share of these goods in this context, received the Rewt court in return. The Augustinian Canons' Monastery of Rebdorf bought all rights to the farm in 1450 from Sigmund von Erlingshofen zu Pechttal ; two years later, the monastery owned a farm, a hut and five fiefdoms for "Grewdt". In 1486, six goods in “Rewt” are subject to tax at Pechtal Castle , three of which are vogtable. In 1551 it is said that seven subjects to "Greuth" are subject to interest from the Hochstiftischen caste office in Eichstätt. By 1600 at the latest the Hochstift Eichstätt owned all the high authorities and Fraisch of "Reith".

In the geographical statistical-topographical lexicon of Franconia (1801) the place is described as follows:

“Reit am Walde, or also vorm Walde, the whole Eichstättisches Filialkirchdorf von Raitenbuch, is located in the middle Hochstifte, three and a half hours a little west-north of the residential town of Eichstätt on the Ruppertsberge, less than a quarter of an hour away from the Weissenburger Walde, regardless of the location of the differences from other places with the same name. It [Sp. 469] there are 23 subjects; they belong with all high and low local authority to the maintenance and governor's office Titting-Raitenbuch. "

Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire, three half-yards and four estates belonged to the caste office in Titting-Raitenbuch, two yards, one half-yard, 14 estates and two empty houses belonged to the episcopal court box office, one property was Ansbachian and one yard and one property belonged to the Nuremberg Hospital Office.

With the dissolution of the Hochstift Eichstätt, Reuth am Wald became a grand-ducal-Tuscan with Ferdinand III in 1802 . as sovereign. In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), Reuth am Wald was assigned to the Raitenbuch tax district in the Raitenbuch district court with the municipal edict of 1808 . In 1812 he moved to the district court of Greding . With the community edict of 1818, Reuth am Wald became a politically independent community to which the hamlet of Sankt Egidi belonged. On April 18, 1857, the community was removed from the Greding district court and attached to the Weißenburg district court . On July 1, 1972, the municipality of Reuth am Wald was incorporated into Raitenbuch as part of the Bavarian regional reform .
