history
Rieshofen first stepped into the light of history in 1137 with the local nobility "Perhtold von Rodeshouen". In the 13th century, the nobles were ministerials to the Eichstätt bishop. Her family can be traced until 1348, most recently with "Gottfried de Ruegshofen" in Rieshofen; a "Wilbolt von Rügshofen" was in 1480 episcopal nurse to Mörnsheim . 1186 confirmed Pope Urban III. the possession of the cathedral chapter Eichstätt in Rieshofen. In 1302, Count Gebhard VII von Hirschberg sold an estate in the village to the Eichstätter bishop . In 1310 the local nobility sold their moated castle on the Altmühl, built in the 13th century, together with the rights and property to the cathedral chapter. Today only the approximately 18 m high keep of this castle, which was abandoned towards the end of the 15th century, remains .
After secularization, the place that had been the cathedral chapter in 1806 came to the Kipfenberg district court as an independent municipality . From 1808 to 1810 Rieshofen and Isenbrunn belonged to the newly formed Altmühlkreis , then to 1817 to the Oberdonaukreis , then to 1833 to the Leuchtenberg principality of Eichstätt . Then the principality fell back to the Bavarian state. From 1808 to 1818 Rieshofen and Isenbrunn belonged to the tax district (municipality) of Gungolding in the Kipfenberg rulership . After that, Rieshofen and Isenbrunn were again an independent municipality. In 1838, when the district was divided, Rieshofen moved from the previous rain district to the district of Middle Franconia. In 1861 Rieshofen and the Kipfenberg district court were attached to the Eichstätt district office (renamed the district in 1939).
In 1934 Rieshofen received a new Altmühl bridge as part of the Altmühl regulation, which was blown up in 1945. In 1953 the poorly restored bridge was renewed (a new construction was carried out in 1999).
Land consolidation measures were carried out from 1959 to 1962 and again in 1990 . In 1972 the moat of the former castle was repaired and a resting place for boaters was created. In the course of the Bavarian regional reform , Rieshofen joined the municipality of Walting on January 1, 1972 and came six months later with the administrative district of Eichstätt from the administrative district of Middle Franconia to the administrative district of Upper Bavaria .
In 1983 there were eight full-time agricultural and 16 part-time farms in the village with 146 inhabitants. In the same year a kindergarten was opened, which was certified as a Kneipp kindergarten in 2005/06 . In 1985/86 the moated castle was excavated and its walls secured. In 1992 the village received the gold medal in the competition Our village should become more beautiful partly at the state level and the bronze medal in the national competition. To the east of the village, the Altmühltalradweg leads past the valley floodplain .
Catholic Church of St. Erhard
The basement floors of the church tower are Romanesque (around 12th century), the rest of the construction took place in the late Gothic . Its construction, in particular the high entrance - now walled up - indicates that it was originally a defense / residential tower of the local nobility. The characteristic branches placed over the corner on the two gable tops of the tower, which still existed in the 1930s, were removed. On the north side of the tower is the cemetery chapel with a barred charnel house with several inscribed skulls. The nave of the church was rebuilt in 1749, consecrated in 1759 and expanded in 1912. Altars (with younger pictures) and pulpit are baroque around 1720. On the pulpit - sounding board , a late Gothic statue of the archangel is Michael as a weigher of souls (15th end of the century). Other clay and wooden figures are late Gothic or baroque. The cemetery around the church is still in use. The Way of the Cross comes from the Rococo , the organ case is classicism classicist. The large ceiling painting shows the church patron baptizing the girl Ottilia. The colored glass windows installed in 1890 were destroyed by the blast wave in 1945 when the nearby Altmühl Bridge was blown up.
The church's Christmas crib is a specialty. It is located behind the altarpiece on the left side altar, which is removed at Christmas and reveals four large wooden figures (the Holy Family and an angel). The rear wall was repainted in 2017 by the Austrian artist Ernst Arnold Bauer, who lives in Rieshofen .
