The Rieterschloss stands in Kornburg, a district in the south of Nürnberg, on the site of a moated castle first recorded at the end of the 13th century. Its long history includes repeated destruction, during the margravial wars of the 15th century and again in the Thirty Years' War, as well as a lasting association with the patrician Rieter family, from whom the building takes its name after they acquired it in the 15th century. The present structure reflects these successive rebuildings over several centuries.
