The district of Laufenburg is a district in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland , which essentially consists of the upper Fricktal in the Aargau Jura south of the Rhine . The district comprises 18 municipalities .

After the merger of the municipalities of Wil AG , Oberhofen , Mettau and Etzgen with the Brugger municipality of Hottwil on January 1, 2010 to form the municipality of Mettauertal , the municipal ban of Hottwil came to lie in the Laufenburg district. Thus this has increased by that area.
