location

The parish village is in the Donaumoos on the open ground, about 6.5 kilometers north of Günzburg on the border with Baden-Württemberg . The state road in 1186 (the former Roman road) leads to Gunzburg.

history

In the Middle Ages , Riedhausen was the seat of the Riethusen knight family . Today traces of a castle stable in the village bear witness to its ancestral castle, which was apparently abandoned in the 13th century .

In the 15th century the sons of the Ulm patrician Hans Strölin the Elder owned Ä. the goods at Riedhausen. Because of the debt burden resulting from the Thirty Years' War , the subjects in Riedhausen had a lease with the manor since 1675, which lasted until 1921. With the advent of the postal service, the place served as a horse changing station on the trade route from Günzburg to Ellwangen .

The Bavarian original cadastre shows Riedhausen in the 1810s as a church village with 29 planned clods east of the castle, the church and its small churchyard . To the north of the village, the moat was dammed up to form two ponds .

The previously independent municipality of Riedhausen was incorporated into Günzburg on May 1, 1978 as part of the municipal reform.
