The village of Ochsenberg is part of the municipality of Königsbronn in the district of Heidenheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Ochsenberg is situated in the eastern part of the Swabian Jura, on the western edge of the Härtsfeld plateau at an altitude of 617 m above sea level (town hall).

Years before the abbot Melchior Ruff, who was active in the Königsbronn Abbey, had already settled woodworkers, charcoal burners and day labourers on a clearing in today's hamlet.

In the tax audit protocol of 1733 is written: "All the buildings in this hamlet are the very least in the whole monastery office, none of them is built of bricks and all of which are covered with straw".

[3] In 1910 the construction of today's town hall took place, which also serves as a schoolhouse and fire brigade depot.

Due to the low occupancy rate, the complex was rented to the district of Heidenheim from the end of 2015 until autumn 2018 and refugees were accommodated there.

For a planned ammunition depot of the Bundeswehr (Armed forces of Germany), a forest area east of the village was cleared in 1963.

From February 2014, a solar park with 40,000 modules was built on the unused site, which will supply up to 3,000 households with electricity.

Of the craftsmen, Ochsenberg has two potters, some weavers, and several bricklayers and carpenters who work journeymen in Königsbronn and Itzelberg.

The economic conditions of the inhabitants, a very active, honest, but rather rough and coarse people, have improved noticeably by the lively haulage business, in which the transport of salt, peat, wood, iron, etc.

With the arrival and settlement of displaced persons after World War II, the number of inhabitants had increased noticeably.

After World War II, the resumption of singing lessons began in October 1947 and in January 1948 the choir is newly founded.

On 15 October 1954, an extraordinary meeting was held at the tavern Zur Linde to reestablish the club, and the name is changed to Sportschützenverein 'Edelweiß' Ochsenberg.

A Steftsstecke is a strong and long stick (Stecken) equipped with an iron tip (Steft) at the lower end.

[6] The advantage of the Steftstecke was proven by this historical narrative: Around 1820, Ochsenberger boys made their way to Ebnat for the church anniversary (religious festival).

The bachelors from Ebnat were not happy about this, wanted to keep uninvited competition away from the dance floor and ran towards the Ochsenberg boys.

Despite the fact that the soil is very meager and mostly small farms existed, Ochsenberg was shaped by agriculture from the beginning.
