Location of Riedlingen in Bavaria

Riedlingen is a district of Donauwörth in the Swabian district of Donau-Ries in Bavaria , which was an independent political municipality until the end of 1971. The Neudegg estate as well as the wasteland Posthof , Spindelhof , Quellhaus and Seibertsweiler ( Faulhof ) belonged to their area.

population

With over 4,000 inhabitants, Riedlingen is not only the south-west (st) part of the major district town of Donauwörth , but also by far the most populous.

history

Remains of Roman villas and manors were found near Riedlingen from the 1st to the middle of the 3rd century, and at the end of the 1990s remains of a Celtic settlement below the Ramberg were found. Johann Nepomuk von Raiser reported d. W. from an old Roman road running in the Riedlinger district.

The basic rule of the village belonged to the late 13th century - that is, since the end of the coming from the area of what is now northern Swabia Hohenstaufen - until the end of the Old Kingdom primarily to Reich care Expectant and arrived in the 17th century after a fief to the convent Kaisheim . Both the Kais (ers) native "K" and the Fugger lily in the coat of arms of the municipality or the district, which in turn can be found there, since the Augsburg family since Anton Fugger "the rich" are private and imperial owners the Reichspflege Werd was; It was his descendants who "ceded their rights in the village of Riedlingen to the Kaisheim Abbey in exchange for [other] goods in the field of imperial maintenance". The mayor and council of the city of Schwäbisch Werd (since 1607 Donauwörth) as well as the monasteries Heilig-Kreuz in Donauwörth, St. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg and Niederschönenfeld were also wealthy in the place .

At the beginning of October 1546 the place unexpectedly became the scene of world events for a few days when Emperor Charles V spent the night in a farmhouse in Riedlingen on his campaign against the Protestants as part of the Schmalkaldic War . It was the night of October 11, 1546. During the Schmalkaldic War, the idea of ​​founding the University of Jena arose in Riedlingen . The first written reference to this can be found in a letter from the Duke of Saxony Johann Friedrich I (called Hahnfried) to Philipp Melanchthon . Johann Friedrich I had previously lost his electoral dignity and the associated State University of Wittenberg. The place of dispatch was the Duke's field camp, which was verifiably located in front of Schwäbisch Werd in the district of Riedlingen. In general, Schwäbisch Werd was the meeting point of the northern and southern allies at the beginning of this war in 1546.

Riedlingen also became the scene of central troop movements in the course of the coalition wars against Napoléon Bonaparte , such as B. in the summer of 1801 during the Second Coalition War . The village already played a certain role during the War of the Spanish Succession and especially in the vicinity of the second battle near Höchstädt that took place in the immediate vicinity (about 10 to 20 km west of the town) and - not only - ultimately decisive for this war In August 1704 the supplies of the allied, i.e. Habsburg-English-Dutch troops were stationed here.

In 1696, the Riedlinger St. Martins Church, which was essentially Gothic, was redesigned in Baroque style, but its furnishings were repeatedly renewed in the following centuries, so that its interior now gives an ultimately inconsistent impression. Riedlingen had already been its own parish for a short time in the late Middle Ages - in 1487 Abbot Johannes Saur SOCist of Kais (ers) heim sanctioned its independence , which almost confused the Reformation that was evoked by Duke Ottheinrich of Pfalz-Neuburg, later Elector of the Palatinate the Kaisheimer Abbey would also have fallen victim to endure; meanwhile, the Riedlinger parish always stood under the canonical patronage of the Cisterce before it was degraded to a branch and from 1804/07 to 1973 to the chaplain branch of the parish of Wörnitzstein . Riedlingen has only been an independent parish again since the Dreifaltigkeitskirche was rebuilt in 1973. The artistically valuable sculptures (reliefs on the people's altar, on the tabernacle and the full-body figure of the resurrected man enthroned above the altar island) by the Munich resident have so far been hardly noticed Master Klaus Backmund .

On January 1, 1972, Riedlingen was incorporated into Donauwörth as part of the municipal reform.

In 1982 the Riedlingen district received its new funeral hall. In 1985 the rebuilt Pitzbrunnen was handed over, a work by the Düsseldorf native and Oettinger by choice Fred Jansen . In 1987 the Südspange was handed over, which ends in the Riedlingen industrial park, which was designated in 1979. In 1999 the new building of the local St. Martin Kindergarten, which is run by the Roman Catholic Church, was inaugurated.

Since protests by the population of Auchsesheim , Riedlingen has become the Donauwörther district most affected by Eurocopter air traffic .
