For the Ancient Romans, the Aal was the reason to erect the Aalen Castle somewhat north of it, its largest equestrian fort north of the Alps. They extracted up to 30,000 liters of water daily for their approximately 1,000 horses.
At the confluence of Rombach and Sauerbach, the Aal was recultivated for 5 million euros, and on September 10, 2010 the newly constructed Dürrwiesen flood retention basin was inaugurated.

Von hier aus fließt die Aal in östliche, später in nordöstliche Richtung und mündet nach 1,6 km langem Lauf linksseitig beim Reichstädter Markt in den Kocher.[3]- [en] Aal (Kocher)
