Rekingen is a former municipality in the district of Zurzach in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. On 1 January 2022 the former municipalities of Bad Zurzach, Baldingen, Böbikon, Kaiserstuhl, Rekingen, Rietheim, Rümikon and Wislikofen merged into the new municipality of Zurzach.
In 1956 an excavation discovered the remains of a Roman era estate . Another excavation discovered Alamanni graves to the north of the train station. The modern municipality of Rekingen is first mentioned in 1261 as Rechunch. Rekingen belonged to the court of Klingnau, which from 1415 until 1798 was under the high court of Baden. The low court right lay with the Bishop of Constance and was exercised by Zurzach Abbey. During the Protestant Reformation the majority of the citizens converted of the new faith. In 1678, two canons from Zurzach, Johann Rudolf and Johann Jakob Schmid from Baar, built the Metzgerhof house and chapel. The chapel was deconsecrated in 1878 and since 1980 the old wine press building has been used as an ecumenical chapel. In 1790 the village school was segregated along denominational lines and was reintegrated in 1852.
