legend

The Oberamt, formed in 1803, initially consisted of the area of ​​the former imperial city of Aalen and the southern part of the former prince-provost of Ellwangen , both of which had fallen to Württemberg as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . In 1806 the upper office was enlarged by some mediatized manors. Smaller border changes were then made. The district, which was subordinate to the Jagstkreis from 1818 to 1924 , bordered the Oberämter Gaildorf , Ellwangen , Neresheim , Heidenheim and Gmünd .

The seat of the Oberamt was Schloss Wasseralfingen until 1807 , until 1910 the still existing Oberamt building at Reichsstädter Straße 24 in Aalen, then the district office at Stuttgarter Straße 7.
