Settlement on the castle grounds dates back to the Bronze Age. An older hillfort, in which the Reisensburg Castle stands, was first mentioned in the 10th century as Castello Risinesburc. The stone castle, first indirectly mentioned in 1266 by Bruno nobilis de Risenspurch, an imperial ministerial, controlled a river crossing. In 1295, the Reisensburg Castle came into the possession of the Margraves of Burgau, but after their extinction in 1301, it fell to the Habsburgs, who pawned it thereafter. In 1457, it passed as a fief to the knight Hans vom Stain of Ronsberg, and from him to his grandson Melchior, who expanded the Reisensburg lordship. In 1633, the Swedes set fire to the castle, which at that time belonged to the Tanner von Tann family. The Giel von Gielsberg family followed in 1660, and the Barons von Eyb in 1763. They sold the Reisensburg Castle to the Barons von Riedheim in 1852. After a change of ownership in 1920, the University of Ulm acquired the castle in 1966. Since then, the Reisensburg has housed a meeting and conference center, which was transferred to a foundation of the University of Ulm in 1997.
