The population has remained relatively stable since 1970, as shown in the following table: Aub forms an administrative municipality with the nearby towns of Gelchsheim and Sonderhofen.

The main church has a very fine carved wooden altarpiece by Tilman Riemenschneider, who was an important master sculptor in Southern Germany in the late Middle Ages.

Today the museum has objects from Aub's past, and displays about caring for the elderly through the centuries (all in German).

There is a cycle track along the disused railway line that leads to the Tauber valley, which is quite picturesque.

When the Catholic Church is celebrating a major festival, the townsfolk dress up in medieval costume, the town band plays, and there is a fair with dodgem cars and American Line dancing in the evening, or a medieval fair with jousting in the grounds of the hunting lodge at the top of the town.
