In 1972 Haselbach was divided: The "Soeldhaus" came with Grossdeinbach and Schwäbisch Gmünd to the Ostalbkreis. The remaining Haselbach became together with Alfdorf part of the Rems-Murr county. This was done via a counting error in the federal state parliament of Baden-Wuerttemberg, which was allegedly not reparable
