Oberkochen (, , in contrast to "Lower Kochen") is a municipality (officially a town, despite its size) in the Ostalbkreis, in Baden-Württemberg, in Germany.
==Name== The name "Oberkochen" consists of the two German words "ober", meaning "above" or "upper", and "Kocher", the name of the local river. The name indicates, that this settlement lies above the river Kocher or on its upper part. The river Kocher has its spring just to the south of Oberkochen and runs to the north. Therefore, the village next to the north of Oberkochen is Unterkochen, with the German "unter" meaning "lower" or "under".
