geography
location
Rheinau lies in the Upper Rhine Plain . The urban area is located directly on the Rhine , in the middle of which the German-French border runs; the main town, Freistett, is 2.2 km from the Rhine, which flows there in a south-west-north-east direction. From the southernmost districts of Linx and Honau it is about 9 km to Kehl and 11 km (as the crow flies ) to Strasbourg in France . To the north of Honau and west-northwest of Diersheim lies the Steinwert-Hot 2 branch of the Altrhein .
The Glockenloch industrial area is located between Freistett and the Rheinau-Gambsheim dam to the north-west of it . It extends along the national road 87, which merges into the French D2 and leads over the barrage to France at Gambsheim there .
Neighboring communities
The city borders in the north on the city of Lichtenau in the Rastatt district , in the east on the city of Achern , in the southeast on the city of Renchen , in the south on the city of Kehl and in the west on the Alsatian communities of La Wantzenau , Gambsheim and Offendorf .
City structure
Politically, Rheinau is divided into the nine localities Freistett, Diersheim , Hausgereut , Helmlingen , Holzhausen , Honau, Linx, Memprechtshofen and Rheinbischofsheim . Apart from the main town of Freistett, where the town hall is located, a local council is elected in all parts of the city in accordance with the Baden-Württemberg municipal code and is chaired by a local mayor . The official naming of the districts is made by prefixing the name of the city and followed by the name of the respective district connected with a hyphen. In the localities there are administrative offices called “Stadt Rheinau, Ortsverwaltung ...”. The districts also form eight residential districts in accordance with the Baden-Württemberg municipal code, with the districts of Rheinbischofsheim and Hausgereut being combined into one residential district.
In terms of settlement geography, Rheinau also includes the nine villages and the much smaller hamlet of Hohbühn , which is administratively and parishly assigned to Linx. In the northeast of Rheinau is the Maiwaldsiedlung, which also extends to the boundaries of the neighboring towns of Achern and Renchen and is to be classified as a scattered settlement north of Memprechtshofen . On the barren, partly swampy soils of the former reindeer flood area , only homesteads could survive . Due to the population decimation during the Thirty Years' War , settlements in this less agriculturally less favored area were devastated.
In the urban area of Rheinau there are numerous lost localities : Ackerhof or Gaylingscher Hof, Guglingen and Hirsach were near Helmlingen; Quergen and Renchenloch near Memprechtshofen; Hohenhurst, Schufen und Stegen on Rheinbischofsheimer territory; Büche was near Holzhausen and Hastatt (?) In what is now Linx. The exact location of the deserted areas of Barau and Nulende is not known. Possible locations were identified on the districts of Freistett and Bodersweier or Querbach (districts of Kehl ).

history
The city of Rheinau came into being during the municipality reform in Baden-Württemberg .
Diersheim
In the district of Diersheim a fire burial ground of the Upper Rhine Ueben was found. It is the southernmost known cemetery in the Upper Rhine Valley. It contains 48 secured urns and some unsecured urns, 5 fire pit graves. The assignment to the Elbe Germanic Suebi results from the design of the accessories such as belt buckles, shield rim fittings, etc. In addition, a number of clay vessels have been identified as Elbe Germanic imports from Bohemia, Saxony and Thuringia.
The cemetery began to be occupied around 50 AD. Until 70 AD, the graves had rich grave goods of Elbe German origin, between 70 and 140 AD they were poor and have a provincial Roman character.
Helmets
After the Romans built a road that connected Argentorae ( Strasbourg ) with Aquaeum ( Baden-Baden ) (route like B36), a farm was established in the district of Helmlingen. Over time, this became a settlement that was probably burned down by the Teutons . The Suebian occupancy tore off. Between 140 and 260 AD, Elbe Germans reappear, but from the Altmark-East Hanoverian bowl urn group. With the fall of the Limes , the occupation of the burial ground ended.
Rheinbischofsheim
Rheinbischofsheim was first mentioned in a document in 1274 as a bishop's home . In 1574 the addition to the high footbridge was added. From 1803 the place was an office in the Landvogtei Yberg of the Grand Duchy of Baden , but lost this status to Kehl in 1815. In 1809 a Latin school was established here, the forerunner of today's grammar school.
Rheinau
The municipality of Memprechtshofen was incorporated into the municipality of Freistett on July 1, 1971 and the municipality of Helmlingen on October 1, 1974.
The community Hausgereut was incorporated into the community of Rheinbischofsheim on January 1, 1973, the Diersheim community on January 1, 1974, and the communities of Holzhausen and Linx on April 1, 1974.
On January 1, 1975, the city of Freistett-Rheinbischofsheim was formed by the union of the communities Freistett and Rheinbischofsheim. Honau joined them. The city was given the final name Rheinau after a previous public vote on the same day.
Before 1973, all communities belonged to the Kehl district .
