Amstetten (German pronunciation: [ˌamˈʃtɛtn̩]) is a municipality in Alb-Donau-Kreis, 20 kilometers north-west of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Amstetten includes the districts Bräunisheim, Hofstett-Emerbuch, Reutti, Schalkstetten and Stubersheim. The place Amstetten itself is divided into the old Amstetten-Dorf and the newly created after the railway construction Amstetten Station. Traces of a Roman road station at the top of the Geislinger Steige demonstrate the important traffic geographical position. In Amstetten no traces of an early medieval settlement were found. However, finds from the districts Schalkstetten, Bräunisheim and Stubersheim show a settlement at least since the Merovingian dynasty. The first mention of Amstetten dates back to 1275 in the Liber decimationis, the tenth book of the Bishopric of Constance. In the late Middle Ages, the region was mainly dominated by the House of Helfenstein. However, they had to mortgage their possession in the late 14th century to the imperial city of Ulm.
