Tips from the Community
The history of Reisensburg dates back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, with settlement of the castle site dating back to the Early Bronze Age. The first castle was mentioned as early as the 10th century and was originally known as "castello Risinesburc." The castle was built around 1200 for the Lords of Reisensburg, Hohenstaufen imperial ministeriales. The castle was burned down by Swedish troops on May 23, 1633, during the Thirty Years' War. After its reconstruction, it was converted into a palace in 1660. In the 17th century, a larger part of the building, including the main building and the ancillary rooms, was constructed. The property was inherited by the Barons von Eyb in 1763. The last descendant of this family line died on March 27, 1851. Maximilian Alexander von Riedheim bought the property on June 17, 1852. After a change of ownership in 1920, the University of Ulm acquired the castle in 1966.

It is unclear when Reisensburg received its first church. However, a church can be traced back to 1462. On May 8, 1780, one day after the Frauenkirche, Auxiliary Bishop Johann Nepomuk consecrated the Church of St. Sixtus in Reisensburg. Its medieval predecessor was demolished in 1767. The paintings of St. Sixtus, St. Peregrine, and "Christ on the Cross" are by Georg Lacher. In 1987/1988, the interior was redesigned and equipped with three new Baroque altars painted on the walls.

Built in the Renaissance style from 1577 to 1580, it includes a court church and a Rococo chapel (18th century). The architect was the Italian Alberto Luchese. Today, the palace is used by the University of Ulm. Therefore, photos are only from the exterior.
