History

The area was settled in the 12th and 13th century. The name Rehentobel was first mentioned in 1463 as an das Rechtobel.[1] In 1669 the church was built, which meant independence from the village of Trogen. The church was rebuilt in 1737.

The village was destroyed in a fire on 9 April 1796. The church was saved, but a total of 20 buildings were destroyed. In 1854 a house for the poor was established. It is today used as a nursery.

On 28 June 1890 the church was destroyed in a fire, but by 1892 a new church was built.
