During excavations at the ancient local church St Vitus were found the remains of a wooden church built in 900 Abbot Otmar had died in 759 and his remains were buried 864 in St. Gallen. The compounds of the bishops of Augsburg to St Gallen were always close at this time. Thus, the local church and foundation of Oberottmarshausen should also fall into this time.

In the research " constant " is interpreted settlement mostly in terms of a long-standing (possibly Roman ). Whether the naming of a dry creek, a left tributary of the Wertach, in the course about today's " Old Kingdom Road " according to back, is disputed between historians and geologists.

A special feature of the population development of Steppach was the blossoming of a Jewish community. After 1438 the Jews in the imperial city of Augsburg were no longer tolerated and found in the surrounding areas a possibility of existence. They were mainly involved in trade, since they were not allowed to trade and business. From 1584 to the end of the 19th century was a quarter to a third of the population Steppachs Jewish faith. In the " Old Kingdom Road", there were not only several " Kommunhäuser " (according to today's condos ), but also a synagogue and ritual bath ( mikveh ).

In the 16th century the pilgrimage church Maria Loreto was built on the mountain Kobel. On the Kobel mountain is also the high medieval castle stables Kobel.

The pilgrimage church, but also the West Bahnhof contributed to its meaning. West 's home was still in the first half of the 20th century, the largest settlement north-west of Augsburg and much more significant than the eponymous municipality in the merger Neusaess. Even today emphasize the Westheimer in a special way their independence from (old) Neusaess.
