Altheim

Altheim is a municipality in the Biberach district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located between Riedlingen and Langenenslingen.

Altheim and the neighboring settlments of Heiligkreuztal, Waldhausen, and Riedlingen became possessions of the House of Habsburg around 1300. With German mediatization, Altheim was in 1806 granted to the Kingdom of Württemberg from the County of Thurn und Taxis. It was assigned to Oberamt Riedlingen and remained under Riedlingen's jurisdiction until 1938, when it was reassigned to Landkreis Saulgau. Altheim began a period of substantial growth after World War II that lasted into the 1980s. In 1973, Altheim was again reassigned by the 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform to the Biberach district. The town hall, parish church, and rectory, all on the town center, were remodeled in 1986.
