geography

history

The area around Riederau was already sporadically settled in the Neolithic , as individual finds show. Other horizons from the Hallstatt and Latène periods in the immediate vicinity suggest that there has been permanent settlement through all pre-Christian epochs.

During the Roman Empire, the Roman road Augsburg-Brenner, which (with the file number D-1-8032-0004) is protected as a ground monument, led directly through the town. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries, with the collapse of the Roman Empire, the finds become much more sparse. Only one row graveyard is known from the time of the Great Migration .

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1126 as "Riderowe". Around 1388 the name reappears as "Ryderau".

Until the secularization in 1803, Riederau belonged to the Klosterhofmark Dießen .

The hamlet was probably three or four property through all times of the Middle Ages always continue until the early 19th century. The Bavarian original cadastre from 1808 also shows only three farms there with, however, impressive farm areas. The structure that is still preserved today is a listed building .

In 1899 Riederau received a railway connection and shortly after 1900 the first steamboat jetty was built on the Ammersee.

Riederau only began to grow during the Nazi era when it was declared a residential area in 1934. The Second World War ended for Riederau on May 4, 1945 with the invasion of French units.

In the post-war period there was a population explosion as many refugees and displaced persons had to be accommodated.

On May 1, 1978, Riederau became a district of Dießen am Ammersee as part of the regional reform in Bavaria through the incorporation of Rieden am Ammersee.
