Kupferzell () is a small German town in the district of Hohenlohe in Baden-Württemberg, Germany named after the Kupfer river flowing through it. The largest neighbouring towns are Künzelsau (to the north) and Schwäbisch Hall (to the south).
During the late Middle Ages, Kupferzell always was referred to as "Celle", with a closer localization of "uf dem Ornwaldt". It was only in the 15th century that the current name appeared after its location on the Kupfer (river). From 1721 to 1727/1729, Count Philipp Ernst had a castle built here. From 1767 until 1884 Kupferzell was the residence of the duke of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst; after mediatization in 1806, Kupferzell became part of the Königreich Württemberg under administration of the High Office of Öhringen.
On January 1, 1972, Kupferzell fused with Eschental, Feßbach, Mangoldsall, Goggenbach and Westernach to the town of Kupferzell. (1983). 9783170032637, W. Kohlhammer. ISBN 9783170032637
In March 2020, the town was particularly affected by COVID-19 and became one of Germany's hotspots in the Hohenlohe district. Mid May, the Robert Koch-Institut started a seroepidemiology study named "Corona Monitoring lokal" attempting to enroll 2000 of the town's 6000 inhabitants for antibody testing and a throat swab for SARS-CoV-2.
