Riedlingen

Riedlingen is a town in Baden-Württemberg that stretches along the Danube River, set between the Bussen mountain and the Swabian Alps. The town center features many traditional timber-framed houses that shape its character.

The town's first written mention dates to 835, indicating long-standing settlement in the area. It later came under Habsburg control before passing to the Counts of Hohenberg in 1314.

The local museum in a 1556 building displays crafts and objects from the region's past. Visitors can see how people in this area once lived and worked through the exhibited items.

The town is well connected via the Ulm-Sigmaringen railway line and offers several lodging options, including hotels and camping facilities near the river. The central area is easy to explore on foot and provides straightforward access to main points of interest.

The Fire Museum, opened in 2008, occupies one of the town's oldest buildings and houses an extensive collection of historical firefighting equipment. This collection documents how fire protection methods evolved over generations.
