 After various changing dominions, the area finally reached Württemberg in 1803 (except for Talheim, which followed in 1806).With the establishment of the Oberamt Zwiefalten in 1809, the present day community area was assigned to it, but by 1810 it had already been transferred to the Oberamt Ehingen.Since the communal reorganization in 1938, Lauterach belonged to the administrative district of Ehingen, which merged into the Alb-Danube district on 1 January 1973.
