It is the capital of Biberach district, in the Upper Swabia region of the German state (Land) of Baden-Württemberg. To distinguish it from the other towns of the same name it is called Biberach an der Riss ({{lang-de|Biberach an der Riß}}) after the small river Riss which flows through the city (the Riss also gave its name to the Riss glaciation period). GeographyBiberach has a population of about 32,000, and is located in Upper Swabia between the river Danube and Lake Constance. The districts of Biberach comprise the inner city (with the quarters Bachlangen, Bergerhausen, Birkendorf, Burren, Fünf Linden, Gaisental, Hagenbuch, Jordanbad, Mumpfental, Reichenbach and Wolfentalmühle) and its suburban, integrated villages Rissegg, Rindenmoos, Ringschnait, Stafflangen and Mettenberg.

In that role it participated in the 1792 Reichstag. During the Protestant Reformation, Biberach was notable for being — eventually along only with Ravensburg, Augsburg and Dinkelsbühl — a "Mixed Imperial City" ({{lang-de|Paritätische Reichsstadt}}) where the Peace of Westphalia caused the establishment of a joint Catholic–Protestant government and administrative system, with equality offices ({{lang-de|Gleichberechtigung}}) and a precise and equal distribution between Catholic and Protestant civic officials. This status ended in 1803, when Biberach was annexed by the Margraviate of Baden, soon to become a grand-duchy. In 1806, it was traded to the Kingdom of Württemberg in exchange for the town of Villingen; becoming part of the German Empire on its creation in 1871. During the French Revolutionary Wars, Biberach and its environs were the site of two sizable battles in 1796 and 1800. During World War II, two large prisoner-of-war camps were located here, with Oflag V-B for officers, and internment camp Ilag V-B for allied civilians, mainly from the Channel Islands.
