Obernheim is a municipality of the Zollernalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History[]

Obernheim became a possession of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1805 and was assigned to  [de]. Five years later, in 1810, it was reassigned to  [de], which was merged into  [de] in 1938. Obernheim grew and industrialized after the Second World War, first expanding in the 1950s to the north-east and west, and then in the 1970s to the north once more. As part of the  [de], Landkreis Balingen was dissolved and Obernheim was assigned to the newly-created Zollernalb district. There was further municipal growth to the northeast in the 1980s and 1990s.[2]

A corresponding flag was issued on 15 January 1982.[2]
