history

The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1316, and according to its name form it is likely to have originated in the period of the High Middle Ages (around 900 and 1200). In 1394 it was called "Rodylnbach". In 1520 the place was called "Rottelbach". The Thirty Years War made the village, as well as many surrounding villages, difficult to create. In 1615 170 people lived in the village, 25 years later there were only 30 people. In 1835 the first Riedelbach school teacher taught in the old town hall. In 1842 the new school building, which today houses the kindergarten, was inaugurated.

In 1929 an outdoor pool was built in Riedelbach. Today there are no remains of the 43 by 18 meter pool.
