history
The Oberamt Mergentheim was formed in 1809 exclusively from New Württemberg areas, which had largely fallen to the kingdom due to the Rhine Confederation Act and with the abolition of the Teutonic Order . In the following year, more places were added when the state border was finally determined in the border treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg . Neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Jagstkreis from 1818 to 1924, were the Württemberg regional offices of Gerabronn and Künzelsau , the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Bavaria . The community of Deubach with Hof Sailtheim and the hamlet of Bowiesen formed exclaves . Edelfingen was a Baden-Württemberg condominium until 1846 .

Changes in the community since 1813
After the constitution of 1819 had prepared the basis for communal self-government , the communes in the modern sense were constituted from the “mayor shops”. Haagen, Hachtel and Honsbronn gained independence by 1828, followed by Craintal, Herrenzimmern and Rüsselhausen in 1829–30.
In 1846 a state treaty concluded three years earlier between Baden and Württemberg came into force. Württemberg received the Baden share of dominion (1/8) in Edelfingen, as well as undivided sovereignty over the Rittershof mark (municipality of Harthausen).
In 1851 Schmerbach was separated from Oberrimbach and raised to the status of an independent municipality.
In 1864, Württemberg ceded an area along the Tauber to Bavaria by means of a state treaty. This affected the communities of Blumweiler and Finsterlohr.
