Individual finds prove that the area north of the camps was already populated during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The village was first mentioned in 1040 as Aradingin . The name is of Alemannic origin and means "among the people of the Arinrat". In the 11th century the Einsiedeln monastery acquired large estates. The Elchingen monastery near Ulm exchanged its properties with the Sankt Blasien monastery in 1150 . The rulers were the Habsburgs .

In 1415 the Swiss conquered Aargau and Ehrendingen was henceforth the capital of the district of the same name in the county of Baden , a common rule . Both the lower courts as well as the court rights were by the bailiff in Baden exercised. In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Ehrendingen was initially a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden ; from 1803 it belonged to the canton of Aargau. In 1821 a village fire raged and destroyed numerous houses.

In 1825 Ehrendingen was divided into the two independent communities of Ober- and Unterehrendingen. From 1892 to 1902 the Lägern cement factory employed up to 400 workers. The population grew only slightly until 1950. But then, due to the proximity to Baden and Zurich , increased construction activity began. The population doubled, the village became a popular residential community and grew together with the neighboring Unterehrendingen. Ober- and Unterehrendingen gradually developed a common identity and decided to reunify in 2003. On January 1, 2006, after an interruption of 181 years, the Ehrendingen community was re-established .

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipal coat of arms reads: "Yellow deer walking in blue on a green hill." The community seal from 1872, the first with a coat of arms, showed a standing stag, but in an unusual legal position (heraldic left). In 1915 the stag was swept into its usual position. The heraldic animal is reminiscent of Sankt Blasien .
