From the Middle Ages

Until 1258 Ebnat belonged to the Counts of Dillingen . After the family died out in 1258, the place came to the Neresheim monastery . The Counts of Oettingen , who maintained a customs office in Ebnat, also claimed the place through the bailiff's rights at the monastery. The trade lasted until 1764, when the monastery became imperial . In 1803 the place fell first to the House of Thurn und Taxis , in 1806 to Bavaria and in 1810 came to Württemberg, where he belonged to the Oberamt Neresheim . When it was dissolved in 1938, Ebnat came to the Aalen district .
On July 1, 1972, Ebnat was incorporated into the city of Aalen.
