About this picture

The district of Homburg was a district in Saarland that existed until 1973. It emerged from the Bavarian Land Commissioner Homburg , which was formed in 1818 after the territorial changes at the Congress of Vienna and from which the Homburg District Office was formed in 1862 .

geography

At the beginning of 1969 the district bordered in a clockwise direction in the west, starting with the districts of Sankt Ingbert and Ottweiler (both in Saarland) and Kusel and Zweibrücken (both in Rhineland-Palatinate ). In the south it bordered France .

history

The district office of Homburg belonged to the Palatinate (Bavaria) until 1920 . After the Treaty of Versailles , its territory was completely redefined. In these new boundaries, the district office was incorporated into the newly created Saar area . In terms of constitutional law, both the Homburg District Office and the St. Ingbert District Office remained part of the Bavarian Palatinate and Bavaria.

After the Saar referendum, the Saar area and with it the Homburg district office returned to the German Reich on March 1, 1935. On April 1, 1939, the Bruchhof-Sanddorf community was incorporated into the city of Homburg from the Zweibrücken district office.

On January 1, 1939, the Homburg district office was renamed the Homburg district .

After the Second World War , the Saarland was internationalized again from 1947 to 1956 and in the meantime a partially sovereign state under French supervision. The community Kirrberg was reclassified on April 23, 1949 from the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Zweibrücken to the district of Homburg. In 1957, after renewed negotiations, the Saarland and the Homburg district became part of the Federal Republic of Germany .

On January 1, 1974, the district was dissolved as part of the territorial and administrative reform in Saarland and , with the exception of the villages of Eschweilerhof and Ludwigsthal , which came to the district of Neunkirchen , with most of the dissolved district of Sankt Ingbert, it became the new Saar-Palatinate district ( since 1989 Saarpfalz district ) united with the district town of Homburg.
