history
Unterkochen was first mentioned around 1136 as "Cochon". The settlement was built around a castle ("Kocherburg"), which was mentioned as early as 1300, but was rebuilt in 1627 and destroyed in 1645 by the Swedes. Today only remnants of the wall remain. The owners were originally the Lords of Cooking Castle, followed by those of Ahelfingen and, in 1317, those of Öttingen before the town came to Ellwangen . The Kocherburg then became the seat of the Obervogts of the Ellwang Oberamt Kocherburg. After the castle was destroyed, they resided in a newly built office building. The Malse family had further property in the village until 1465, whose property also fell to Ellwangen. Ore mining was carried out in the village from 1518 as well as in neighboring Oberkochen. The ore was smelted by Württemberg from 1557 . In 1614, however, Württemberg had to sell his works to Ellwangen. After the transition to Württemberg in 1802, the plant was closed and relocated to Wasseralfingen . Until 1877 the Württemberg camera office was housed in the former administrative building. At the time of the Kingdom of Württemberg Unterkochen belonged to the upper office Aalen , which in 1934 renamed the county Aalen and in the extended 1938 County Aalen was transferred. On January 1, 1973, Unterkochen was incorporated into the city of Aalen.
Religions
The Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Maria Unterkochen was first mentioned in 1248 and the parish was also responsible for the Catholics in Aalen for a long time. Even today, the majority of the people of Unterkochen belong to the Roman Catholic Church (approx. 56%), a further 21% are Protestant. The remaining 23% are mainly members of Islam and people who do not provide any information.

Pilgrimage Church of St. Mary
From all directions the view is captured by the dominant location of the Kirchberg and its harmoniously integrated building ensemble, which is crowned by the pilgrimage church. The first documentary mention was in 1465. In terms of style, the church dates from different epochs, the tower is from the Romanesque, the choir from the Gothic and the nave by Johann Michael Keller from the Baroque period. In the high altar is a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary, a masterpiece of the Ulm School, created around 1496, the image of miraculous grace in Unterochen, to which pilgrimages have led for centuries.
The statue of the third bishop of Rottenburg Karl Joseph von Hefele , in the front left of the nave, was erected on May 30, 1897. Hefele was born on March 15, 1809 in the Hochmühle near Unterkochen, was Professor of Church History (Councils) at the University of Tübingen and from 1869 to 1893 Bishop of Rottenburg.

Kocherburg ruins
The Kocherburg on a spur of the plateau above the outskirts is an important archaeological cultural monument with its fortifications. Excavations revealed evidence of an already prehistoric settlement. In 1645, the "Cooking Castle" was shot down by the Swedes and then not rebuilt; the rubble remained or the stones were used to build buildings in the village. An archaeological tour leads through and around the ruin.
Hollow stone
A slope rises steeply from the Glashütte district. At its height there is a rock that arches into a cave. The Hohle Stein is the best-known and most legendary cave in Unterkochen next to the palace construction site on which the Kocherburg once stood. The Hohle Stein is a spacious rock cave that is complemented by two cave chimneys and a long, very shallow cave passage.
