history

Jagstzell was probably founded by monks from the Ellwangen monastery as a small monastic settlement (cella) during the Carolingian era . Around 1150 the monastery was converted into a women's monastery that existed for about 200 years. Not much has been passed down from the history of the monastery; it was first mentioned in a document in 1170 . After the dissolution of the women's monastery, the village came to the prince provost of Ellwangen . Since the beginning of the 16th century, Brandenburg-Ansbach and thus later Prussia had rights in Jagstzell. The Ellwang part became part of Württemberg in 1802 , the Prussian part came to Bavaria in 1806 and finally to Württemberg in 1810. Jagstzell initially belonged to the Oberamt Ellwangen , from 1938 to the Aalen district , which became part of the new Ostalb district as a result of the district reform in 1973 .
