history

Oberamt Tettnang, territorial status 1813, with the previous rule and office boundaries
legend

Around 1800, the majority of southern Upper Swabia belonged to Upper Austria . In the Peace of Pressburg, Württemberg received the western part of the Austrian territory and formed the Altdorf Oberamt from the new acquisitions. The eastern part with the main town of Tettnang fell to Bavaria in 1805 (see Tettnang Regional Court ) and came to Württemberg with the Paris Border Treaty in 1810, which in the same year established the Tettnang District Office and rounded off its territory in 1813 with the purchase of the Hirschlatt rulership in the Hohenzollern , which had been in the region since 1803 . The Oberamt Tettnang, which was assigned to the Danube District from 1818 to 1924, bordered the Oberamt Wangen and Ravensburg , the Grand Duchy of Baden , the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Hohenzollern , from 1850 Prussian exclave Achberg . It was the only district in Württemberg to have a share of Lake Constance with a shore length of around 25 km .

Changes in the community since 1813

Parishes and marks around 1860

In 1815 there were 17 other mayor's shops in addition to the Oberamtsstadt Tettnang and Friedrichshafen, which was formed from Buchhorn and Hofen in 1811: Eggenweiler, Eriskirch, Flunau, Hagendorn, Hemigkofen, Hirschlatt, Kaltenberg, Laimnau, Langenargen, Langnau, Liebenau, Missenhardt, Neukirch, Oberdorf, Schomburg Taldorf, Untermeckenbeuren. After the constitution of 1819 had prepared the basis for local self-government , the municipalities were constituted in the modern sense.

In 1822 Nonnenbach was separated from Hemigkofen and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1823 the independent municipalities of Ettenkirch and Oberteuringen emerged from the Eggenweiler Schultheisserei . The residential areas Behweiler, Erbenweiler and Vittenhag were reassigned from Taldorf to Oberteuringen, and conversely some places that had previously belonged to Eggenweiler, such as Oberzell, Albersfeld and Klöcken, came to the municipality of Taldorf.

In 1824 the municipality of Missenhardt changed its name to Tannau .

In 1825 the independent municipalities of Berg and Ailingen emerged from the former Hagendorn mayor .

By 1828 the following were re-municipalized: Rattenweiler from Tannau to Langnau, Schleinsee from Tannau to Hemigkofen, Alberweiler from Neukirch to Tannau.

In 1842, the municipality of Taldorf was transferred from the Tettnang Upper Office to the Ravensburg Upper Office, while Erbenweiler was changed from Oberteuringen to Taldorf.

In 1846, a state treaty concluded between Baden and Württemberg in 1843 came into force, which affected the Tettnang Oberamt in two places: Hersberg Castle , a Württemberg exclave that had previously belonged to the municipality of Berg, was assigned to Baden. The previously Baden share from Waggershausen to Württemberg came as compensation.

In 1850 Schnetzenhausen was separated from Berg and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1853, Obereisenbach, Untereisenbach and Scheiben were changed from Liebenau to Kaltenberg, whereupon the Kaltenberg community changed its name to Obereisenbach . Conversely, Blumenrain, Feurenmoos, Madenreute, Mühlebach and Untertennenmoos came from Kaltenberg to Liebenau.

In 1854 Hohenreute and Ottmarsreute were reassigned from Untermeckenbeuren to Liebenau.

In 1910 Löwental, St. Georgen and part of Trautenmühle were reassigned from Schnetzenhausen to Friedrichshafen. In 1914 the rest of Trautenmühle and parts of Jettenhausen, Meistershofen and Waggershausen followed.

In 1934 Hemigkofen and Nonnenbach were merged to form the municipality of Hemigkofen-Nonnenbach , whose name was changed to Kreßbronn on Lake Constance that same year .

In 1937 there was a comprehensive redistribution of the communities, the number of which fell from 21 to 14. In detail:

  • Berg was incorporated into Ailingen.
  • Laimnau was incorporated into Langnau.
  • Schnetzenhausen was incorporated into Friedrichshafen, Allmannsweiler from Ailingen to Friedrichshafen.
  • The main part of the abolished community of Flunau was incorporated into Neukirch, individual living spaces to Langnau and Tannau.
  • The main part of the repealed community of Liebenau was incorporated into Meckenbeuren, some residential spaces to Tettnang.
  • The main part of the abolished community of Obereisenbach was incorporated into Tannau, individual living spaces to Meckenbeuren and Tettnang.
  • The Hirschlatt community was abolished. The village of Hirschlatt came to the municipality of Ettenkirch, from the rest the new municipality of Kehlen was created , to which some living spaces previously belonging to Meckenbeuren, Oberdorf and Tettnang were allocated. Brochenzell was changed from Ettenkirch to Meckenbeuren.
  • The main town of the abolished municipality of Oberdorf was incorporated into Langenargen, the rest was distributed among the municipalities of Eriskirch, Kehlen and Kreßbronn.
