Allmersbach im Tal is a municipality in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It belongs to the Stuttgart Region (middle Neckar Region until 1992) and to the boundary area of the Stuttgart Metropolitan Region.
History
Allmersbach im Tal was first mentioned in 1291, relating to the gifting of goods from the Countess Richinza von Löwenstein to the Teutonic Order of Winnenden. Owing to this gifting, Manorialism came into the hands of the Dominican Monastery Weiler bei Esslingen. In the 16th century the Reformation lead to the town falling under the jurisdiction of Württemberg. Until 1712 Allmersbach im Tal belonged to the monastery court mastery and until 1807 to the monasterial administration of the monastery Weiler bei Esslingen.
With the new administrative structure of the Kingdom of Württemberg, Allmersbach was assigned to the Backnang offices.
During NS-rule, 1938 reforms assigned Allmersbach to the Backnang district. In 1945 the town was a part of the American Zone of the Ally occupied Germany, this made it a part of the newly founded Württemberg-Baden which then dissolved into the state Baden-Württemberg.
The municipality of Allmersbach im Tal was formed on 1 January 1972, as part of the 1968-75 Baden-Württemberg municipal reforms, by the merging of the towns of Allmersbach and Heutensbach.[2]
