History

Ehingen-Rißtissen boasts a history that stretches back to antiquity, when Celtic tribes traversed the fertile valleys of the Swabian Alb and the banks of the Danube (“Donau”). Archaeological finds—including burial mounds and pottery shards—testify to human settlement in the Upper Swabian region as early as the Iron Age. With the advent of the Roman Empire, the strategic importance of the Danube frontier (“Limes”) prompted the establishment of watchtowers and small forts in the area. Roman road remnants, uncovered near modern Ehingen, hint at trade routes linking Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicorum) to Ratisbon (Regensburg), paving the way for centuries of commerce and cultural exchange.
