Many years ago three noble maidens who had got lost in the area were saved by following the sound of a shepherd’s horn.

The history would not be complete without mentioning the ruins in Leonrod (a nearby sleepy hamlet).

Dietenhofen is mentioned in History of the Lombards by Paul the Deacon in AD 785, who also calls the place Villa Totonis.

Dietenhofen enjoys a healthy economic situation and has as many jobs to offer, as it has inhabitants.

The Dietenhofen firms Playmobil/Lechuza (Geobra Brandstätter GmbH), Herpa and Branofilter are global players.

Dietenhofen has a recently renovated indoor swimming pool and a sports hall.
