history

Rimbach is the oldest settlement in today's Moosthenning municipality. The place name is derived from the Celtic and means "edge" or "border". The first settlement is likely to have been established around 2000 years ago. Field names such as Weingericht, Weinacker, Weinberg, Hopfenacker and Hopfengarten indicate earlier cultivation of wine and hops (around the year 1100).
