history

The former office building in Eppingen, today the police station

After the electoral Palatinate was dissolved in the course of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the city of Eppingen came to the margraviate of Baden in 1803 . According to the 6th organizational edict for administrative organization of March 9, 1803, the city initially remained with the former Electoral Palatinate Oberamt Bretten , before the staff office of Eppingen, which was newly formed in 1807, removed the city and the neighboring village of Mühlbach from this association. At the end of 1809 a reorganization of various offices (Bretten, Gochsheim ) was planned, with which Eppingen should come to Bretten. But in 1810, instead of the dissolved Gochsheim office, the Eppingen office was created, which on July 24, 1813 became one of the ten offices of the Pfinz and Enz district as the Eppingen district office. The places Eppingen and Mühlbach came from the office of Bretten to the administrative district. The places Rohrbach am Gießhübel , Eichelberg and Landshausen came from the dissolved office of Gochsheim, where the new district office was still based until June 6, 1814 . From the Neckarkreis were Gemmingen , Berwangen , Stebbach , the manor Streichenberg , Adelshofen , Ittlingen and Dammhof assigned. Schluchtern came from the Sinsheim office . In addition, the Hilsbach Justice Office (with the locations: Hilsbach, Elsenz, Serien and Richen) was added to the district office. In December 1813 also came Tiefenbach and Sulzfeld with the Ravensburg to the district office Eppingen, while the earlier Office Hilsbach corresponding rows from the district office to the Epping from the standesherrlich- Leiningen rule emerged Justice Office Sinsheim district office Sinsheim was ceded.

The establishment of the district office had a very beneficial effect on Eppingen, as it made the city more important for the surrounding area. The official building was the villa of the city schoolmaster Konrad Erckenbrecht at Brettener Strasse 57 , which the city acquired in 1814. Various official institutions were located in Eppingen, such as the official prison initially set up in the Pfeifferturm . The Eppingen District Court was established in 1857 when the jurisdiction was spun off from the district offices in the first instance and the district courts were created in Baden. The establishment of a trade school and hospital also goes back to Eppingen's function as the official seat.

In 1840 the lordship of Leiningen was strengthened in its rights, which necessitated a separation between territorial and lordly places. With that, Elsenz , Hilsbach , Richen and Schluchtern fell to the grand ducal and princely lineage of Sinsheim; Schluchtern returned to the Eppingen district office in 1841. When the royal offices were finally abolished, Hilsbach came to the Sinsheim district office in 1849, while Richen (1849) and Elsenz (1850) fell back to the Eppingen office.

The Eppingen district office belonged to the Pfinz and Enz districts until 1832 (referred to as the Murg and Pfinz districts from 1819), and after the redistribution of the districts from 1832 to 1864 it belonged to the Middle Rhine district . Since 1864 it has belonged to the district of Heidelberg in the Mannheim regional commissioner's district .

On April 1, 1924, the Eppingen District Office was repealed by an ordinance of the Baden Ministry of the Interior. The communities Eichelberg, Elsenz, Landshausen and Tiefenbach came to the district office Bruchsal , the communities Mühlbach and Sulzfeld to the district office Bretten , the rest to the district office Sinsheim .
