Oberkochen, Industrial municipality in Ostalbkreis, Germany
Oberkochen sits at an elevation of 496 meters between the Kocher and Langertbach rivers, surrounded by the Albuch and Härtsfeld regions.
The settlement first appeared in documents from 1137 as 'Cochon' in a property list of Ellwangen Abbey, later evolving to its current name.
The municipality received city status in 1968 and adopted a coat of arms featuring three golden roses on a blue background.
The Brenz Railway connects Oberkochen to Aalen station, providing access to national rail networks and regional transportation services.
The relocation of Carl Zeiss Company after World War II transformed this small village into a growing city, increasing population from 2,000 to 8,000.
