From 1972 to 1975, as part of the Baden-Württemberg municipal reform, nine surrounding communities, today's Öhringer sub-places, were incorporated after the failed formation of a large town in Öhringen. According to this plan, the city of Öhringen, all of today's districts of Öhringen as well as Zweiflingen and Orendelsall should dissolve and unite to form a new city. However, this plan was rejected by Cappel, Eckartsweiler, Büttelbronn, Zweiflingen and Orendelsall.
