The place, which in the 14th century was called Tenwangen , Denewangen or Dinwang , was under the feudal lordship of the Ellwangen Monastery until the 14th century . From this the Schwäbisch Gmünder family Im Steinhaus bought the sovereignty, which in turn sold it to the Gmünder Heilig-Geist-Spital in 1427 . The imperial city of Gmünd exercised sovereignty over the village as the representative of its hospital and in 1584 issued a local constitution. In 1803 the place became part of the Electorate (since 1806 Kingdom) Württemberg and was incorporated into the newly established Oberamt Aalen .
