13th Century

A village called Wrenmach is first mentioned in a document in 1238 , although it is unclear whether it is Oberwurmbach or Unterwurmbach.

14th to 18th century

According to Schuh, the history in the 14th to 18th centuries can be summarized as follows:

In 1301 King Albrecht pledged a number of villages to his uncle, Count Ludwig von Oettingen, for a loan, including Oberwurmbach. In the 14th century, the Ellwangen monastery was the landlord in Oberwurmbach; Fief holders are the raven called Zollner von Gunzenhausen, Reinhard and Burchhart Mittelburger and Kunz von Lentersheim . In 1398 Stephan and Hadmar von Absberg sold 8 farmsteads and a fish pond to the Teutonic Order in Ellingen . In 1491 the Gunzenhausen citizen Sixt Behein received the large and small tithe for "Oberwurmach" from the Ellwangen monastery ; In the 16th century at the latest, part of the big tithe belongs to the Landalmosenamt Nürnberg . In 1608 the village consists of 13 margravial , 4 Oettingschen, 2 Leonrodian , 2 Gundelsheim subjects and 1 subject of the Teutonic Order in Ellingen. In the period that followed, the margraves increased their property in the village. Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , Oberwurmbach consisted of 24 subjects, 17 of whom were Ansbachish and the rest belonged to the Oberamt Spielberg, the Amt Sammenheim , the Oberamt Ellingen of the Teutonic Order and the Rittergut Dennenlohe ; the highest jurisdiction lay with the Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen.

A medieval stone cross is at the northern end of the village.

From the 19th century to the present

In 1806 Oberwurmbach became Bavarian and from 1808 belonged to the district court / Rentamt Gunzenhausen and, along with Unterwurmbach and Scheupeleinsmühle, belonged to the tax district of Cronheim , until Oberwurmbach and Unterwurmbach became independent again as a rural community in 1811 and this remained so with the next reform of the municipality in 1818. In 1824 the village consisted of 25 properties with 140 inhabitants. In 1862 Oberwurmbach came with Unterwurmbach to the district office (and later district) Gunzenhausen.

Land consolidation began in Oberwurmbach in 1948 . In 1950 the village had grown to 31 houses with 168 residents, including a number of displaced persons. In 1961 there were 123 inhabitants in 28 residential buildings.

Until the municipal reform in Bavaria , Oberwurmbach was part of the independent municipality of Unterwurmbach, which was incorporated into the city of Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971.

At the route kilometers 35.0 and 35.6 there are two arched viaducts of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn , which were built around 1845.

In 1995 the place had 143, 2000 132 and 2003 129 inhabitants.
