 Some of the ruins of the former Cistercian Tedlingen Monastery are still visible in the village.In 1851-52 a road was built which linked Radelfingen to Bern and Aarberg.Originally the municipality included villages on both sides of the Aare, but in 1868 the left bank of the river (including Niederruntigen, Buttenried) joined the municipality of Mühleberg.
