History

Upper and Lower Reute were possessions of the Template:Ill until they were mediatized to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1805. They were assigned to Oberamt Freiburg in 1809 and then to the district of Emmendingen in 1819. In 1939, that district was reorganized into the present district of Emmendingen.[3]
Geography
The municipality (Gemeinde) of Reute is the smallest in Emmendingen district of Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 states of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is physically located in the Upper Rhine valley, at the northern extremity of the Template:Ill.[3]
The township of Reute rests on an alluvial fan ridge and has historically been divided into Upper and Lower Reute. The Glotter river flows below the ridge to its immediate south.[3]
Coat of arms
Reute's coat of arms displays that of Austria, impaled with a field of blue that houses a yellow plowshare. The pattern references the period of rule of Reute by the Austrian Habsburgs, and to Reute itself, as the plowshare is a motif of the town dating back to 17th century town seals. This pattern was devised by the Template:Ill in 1906 and subsequently adopted by Reute's municipal council. It was not approved for official use until 24 April 1989, when the Emmendingen district office extended that approval and issued a municipal flag.[3]
