History

The municipality was first mentioned in the Ellwanger annals around 1118. At this time, a castle was built. The castle stood at the place where the Adelmannfelden Castle is located today. Descendants of the Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden family live in Adelmannsfelden Castle until today. The municipality was under changing clerical and secular rule until it became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806. Specifically, it was under the Oberamt of Aalen, which became the Landkreis Aalen (District of Aalen) during the district reforms in the NS era. Between 1945 and 1952, Adelmannsfelden belonged to the federal state of Württemberg-Baden, which was established in the US occupation zone. In 1952, it became part of the newly established federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The Landkreis Aalen was dissolved during the district reforms in 1973 and Adelmannsfelden now belongs to the district Ostalbkreis.

The Catholic inhabitants of the municipality have access to a Catholic church in Ottenhofen as well as chapels in Bühler and Stöcken which are being spiritually cared for from Abtsgmünd.
