This patch has 75 municipal rights and 80 to 90 citizens (note: only men), some of whom live solely from agriculture, some of whom are craftsmen, some of whom do both at the same time.
In 1767 there were: 3 wainwrights, 3 tailors, 3 bricklayers, 3 bakers, 5 millers, 2 carpenters, 2 butchers, 2 carpenters, 2 shoemakers, 2 blacksmiths, 1 saddler and 1 glasser.

The office building was probably built at the beginning of the 18th century.

After 1648 (after the Thirty Years' War), Rothenburg had to mortgage Oberstetten and Wildentierbach and other villages to Hermann von Hatzfeld zu Haltenbergstetten due to the high debts. His brother, the Bishop of Würzburg, was involved in the transaction.

By 1676, Rothenburg had the villages back. To save costs, the Oberstetten office was set up, which also included Wildentierbach, Hachtel and Heimberg. The office building was built for administration purposes.
