Map / Ritterhaus
Das sogenannte Ritterhaus, ehemals Kanzleigebäude des Kantons Donau der Schwäbischen Reichsritterschaft, wurde 1692 an der Stelle zweier Bürgerhäuser errichtet. Um 1690 fühlten sich die Ritter in der nahen Reichsstadt Ulm nicht mehr sicher und verlegten daher ihre Kanzlei nach Ehingen, das sie als habsburgische Landstadt eng mit dem Kaiserhaus verbunden wussten.

Nachdem sie zunächst ein Haus auf dem Gänsberg gekauft und verschiedene weitere Gebäude angemietet hatten, errichteten sie an der Oberen Hauptstraße einen eindrucksvollen dreigeschossigen Bau als Unterkunft für ihr Archiv und ihre Kanzlei. Mit seiner repräsentativen Fassade, die ein kraftvoller Barockgiebel krönt, überragt er die benachbarten Bürgerhäuser. Im durchgängig eingewölbten Erdgeschoss lagen die feuersicheren Archivräume, während im ersten Obergeschoss Kanzleiräume, im dritten Obergeschoss mit seinen hochbarocken Stuckdecken Repräsentations- und Versammlungsräume untergebracht waren. Derzeit ist dort eine Außenstelle des Landratsamtes untergebracht.
