Kirchheim am Ries

Kirchheim am Ries has served as a rural settlement in the Nördlinger Ries region since the Middle Ages. The municipality lies within the Nördlinger Ries, a broad circular basin formed by a meteorite impact around 15 million years ago and shared by Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Its setting is shaped by farmland, low wooded slopes and the scattered settlements of the Ries plain. The former Cistercian convent of Kirchheim, founded in 1267, remains an important reminder of the area’s religious and political past.
