Aerial view (1959)

Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg is first mentioned in 1190 as Rudolfstetin in a deed to the Benedictine Engelberg Abbey. [3] In addition to Engelberg, Wettingen, Gnadenthal and St. Blasien Abbeys also owned property in the village. The village vogtei or bailiwick was an originally a Habsburg fief, though in the 14th century it transferred to the Schwendauer in Zürich. Then, in 1438 it went to Bremgarten.

Between 1415 and 1798 the village belonged to the county of Baden. During the short-lived Helvetic Republic it was part of the Canton of Baden from 1798 until 1803. Following the Act of Mediation it became part of the district of Bremgarten of Canton Aargau in 1803. In 1966 the municipalities of Rudolfstetten and Friedlisberg joined.

Religiously, until 1861 the Catholics were part of the Dietikon parish, then they became part of the Berikon. Friedlisberg remained in the parish Berikon, but in 1964 Rudolfstetten broke away and formed a parish with Bergdietikon. The two villages belong to the Reformed parish of Bremgarten-Mutschellen.

Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg was an important stopping place on the road from the Reuss river over the Reppisch to the Limmat river. In 1902, the village was connected to Zurich by the Bremgarten-Dietikon electric tram line. After 1960, due to the favorable location, the municipality experienced rapid growth. As of 2000, 82% of the employed residents are commuters. [3]
