geography

history

Parish before the merger in 1995

According to the excavation in 1996, Rheinklingen is a high medieval settlement on the remains of a Roman watchtower on the Burgstall on the Rhine . The name of the place goes back to an Alemanni named Rikile. Over time, the village name was spelled differently in different documents, such as the first in 868 as Richilingun , 888 Richilingen and 903 as Richilinga. In 1336 the name Richlingen was recorded, a little later it became Reichlingen and in 1838 today's spelling prevailed.

The monasteries of Allerheiligen , Feldbach and Wagenhausen owned farms in Rheinklingen in the Middle Ages . In 1315 Ulrich von Klingen gave his property in Rheinklingen to the St. Georgen monastery . From 1433 Rheinklingen can be identified as part of the Vogtei Wagenhausen, which belonged to the town of Stein am Rhein from 1575 to 1798 . After Burg bei Stein am Rhein, Rheinklingen was always part of the church.

Up until the 19th century, the Vetterli von Rheinklingen towed the so-called Ledines from Diessenhofen to Stein am Rhein. The residents grew arable, fruit and wine and the community was still strongly rural in the first half of the 20th century. In 1969 the Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerke (NOK) acquired 18 hectares of land in order to build a nuclear power plant near Rheinklingen. From 1974 the project was not pursued any further. In 1980 39% of the employed people living in Rheinklingen were commuters.
