history

Until the church is planted

Rieden am Forggensee belonged to the monastery Augsburg . As the seat of an episcopal bailiff, the place developed into a village. In 1850, the Riedener church became a parish church instead of the St. Urban church outside. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 , the place came to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

20th century

At the beginning of the 1950s, parts of the municipality were lost due to the construction of the Forggen lake. On October 18, 1972, the municipality of Rieden was officially renamed "Rieden am Forggensee".

On November 5, 1980, the municipality was re-established by a judgment of the Bavarian Administrative Court . Roßhaupten completely ceded the parts of the territory it had taken over. The parts of the area taken over by the city of Füssen remained there.
