history
The Oberamt was established in 1802 after Württemberg had taken possession of the city of Esslingen . The former imperial town hall (today's district court, Ritterstraße 8) initially served as the administrative building. From 1806 only the Higher Regional Court was housed there, while the other authorities moved to the neighboring knight's building , formerly the office of the knight's canton of Kocher. The Oberamt, which initially only comprised the former imperial city area, was expanded in several steps from 1806. In 1810, the territorial reform was completed with the allocation of Nellingen.
