Riedheim was first mentioned in a document in 1292. The Lords of Riedheim left their ancestral home at the castle in Riedheim as early as the 13th century. As a fiefdom of the Margraviate of Burgau , the place came into the possession of the Gessler patrician family in Ulm in 1400 , shortly afterwards to the Lords of Hasberg zu Waldkirch. Finally around 1459 Riedheim came to the Argon / Egen patrician family from Augsburg. In 1501 the place came to the imperial city of Ulm, where it remained until 1802.
