The district of Bruchsal was a district in Baden-Württemberg , which was dissolved in the course of the district reform on January 1, 1973 .
geography
location
The district of Bruchsal was in the northwest of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, it had a share in the Kraichgau in the east and in the Upper Rhine Plain in the west. The district town was roughly in the southern center of the district.
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors were Mannheim , Heidelberg , Sinsheim and Karlsruhe in a clockwise direction beginning in 1969 in the north . In the west, the Rhine formed the state border with Rhineland-Palatinate with the districts of Germersheim and Speyer there .
history
The area of the district of Bruchsal belonged to the offices of Bretten, Bruchsal, Gochsheim, Gondelsheim, Odenheim and Philippsburg since 1806, when Baden was elevated to the status of a Grand Duchy . The office of Odenheim was dissolved in 1807, Gochsheim in 1810 and Gondelsheim in 1826. In 1864 the district offices of Philippsburg and Bruchsal were merged, so that there was only the district office of Bretten and the district office of Bruchsal, both of which belonged to the state commissioner district of Karlsruhe . As part of the administrative reorganization of Baden, the Bretten office was dissolved in 1936. The northern part came to the Bruchsal district office, the southern part to the Karlsruhe district office. Like all Baden district offices in 1939 was awarded the district office Bruchsal due to the "Law on the county self-government" , the term district Bruchsal .
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district belonged to the administrative district of North Baden . As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed in five cases. On September 1, 1971, the municipality of Landshausen, previously the district of Sinsheim , was assigned to the district of Bruchsal because it became part of the newly formed town of Kraichtal on the same day . On January 1, 1972, the communities Eichelberg and Tiefenbach, both also in the district of Sinsheim, were incorporated into the community of Östringen and the community of Neudorf and the community of Graben were combined to form the community of Graben-Neudorf. Eichelberg and Tiefenbach then belonged to the Bruchsal district, while Neudorf now belonged to the Karlsruhe district. On March 1, 1972, the community of Neibsheim was incorporated into the city of Bretten and thus also belonged to the district of Karlsruhe.
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Bruchsal was finally dissolved and its communities assigned to the district of Karlsruhe , which thus became the legal successor to the district of Bruchsal.

coat of arms
Blazon : split between blue and gold, a continuous, polished silver cross in front, a red waistband shoe in the back . The coat of arms was awarded to the Bruchsal district on February 13, 1964.
The “Speyer Cross” stands for the former prince-bishopric of Speyer , to which most of the district belonged until 1806. The Bundschuh is the symbol of the peasant uprising of 1502, which began in Untergrombach and Obergrombach. One of the farmers' leaders at the time was Joß Fritz from Untergrombach.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The federal motorway 5 Heidelberg-Karlsruhe and the roughly parallel B 3 run through the district area from north to south . Other federal highways are the B 36 in the west, the B 35 in the south and the B 292 in the north .
Communities
From 1938 onwards, 38 communities belonged to the Bruchsal district, 5 of which were towns including Waghäusel , a community that was not newly formed until 1930 from the Oberhausen district .
On March 7, 1968, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg set the course for a community reform . With the law to strengthen the administrative power of smaller municipalities , it was possible for smaller municipalities to voluntarily unite to form larger municipalities. The beginning in the district of Bruchsal was made by the communities of Ubstadt and Weiher, which merged with effect from April 1, 1970 to form the community of Ubstadt-Weiher . In the period that followed, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the Bruchsal district finally became part of the Karlsruhe district on January 1, 1973 .
The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Bruchsal . The smallest community was Neuenbürg.
In the table, the municipalities of the Bruchsal district are before the municipal reform. Today all communities belong to the district of Karlsruhe . The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign BR when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until December 31, 1972.
