The district of Landsberg am Lech is located in the west of the Bavarian administrative district of Upper Bavaria .

geography

location

The district is located in the west of Upper Bavaria and borders on the administrative district of Swabia . It comprises 31 municipalities with a total area of ​​804 km². The defining image of the district is the Lech with its numerous barrages , the Ammersee , the rural communities that extend to the foothills of the Alps and the large one at the intersection of the federal motorway 96 (Munich-Lindau) with the federal road 17 (Augsburg-Füssen-Austria) District town Landsberg am Lech. The lowest point is at 521 meters near Unterbergen, the highest at 853 meters in the Sachsenrieder forest near Dietlried .

The district has a share in the natural areas of Lechfeld , Ammersee and Pfaffenwinkel .

Land use

Settlement and traffic areas in the district take up 11.1% of the total area. The agricultural areas have a share of 80.8% of the total area of ​​the district, of which 49.9% are agricultural areas and 28.7% are forest areas. While the north of the district is relatively poorly forested, the southern part has a high proportion of forest areas and large closed forest areas, such as the Sachsenrieder forest and the Bayerdießen forest .

Language border

The Bavarian - Alemannic language border runs through the district, essentially along the Lech . There are often clear differences in the local dialect within a few kilometers.

The Lechrain dialect is characteristic of the district .

Neighboring areas

The district borders clockwise to the north, starting with the districts of Aichach-Friedberg , Fürstenfeldbruck , Starnberg , Weilheim-Schongau , Ostallgäu and Augsburg .

history

Before 1800

First secured traces of settlement approx. 4000–1800 BC There are south of Pestenacker . Numerous burial mound fields and Celtic square entrenchments have been preserved from the Bronze Age (around 1550–1250 BC) and especially from the Hallstatt Period (700–450 BC). From 15 BC The area belonged to the Roman province of Raetia . To the west of the Lech, the Via Claudia led from Augsburg to Verona . Epfach ( Abodiacum ) was an important provincial Roman small settlement.

After the end of Roman rule took place in 5./6. Century the conquest of the Alemanni and Bavarians . In the High Middle Ages the area was ruled by the Counts of Dießen-Andechs and the Welfs , who were inherited by the Wittelsbachers in the 13th century . They founded the ducal district court of Landsberg , which extended far beyond the boundaries of today's district to the northeast ( Moorenweis , Jesenwang ) and south ( Wessobrunn , Rottenbuch ).

The district judge of Landsberg exercised high jurisdiction on behalf of the sovereign , and in numerous places also lower jurisdiction . In addition, over 30 court marks were created within the regional court , in which nobles or monasteries maintained the lower jurisdiction. The last of these patrimonial courts and court stamps were not dissolved until 1848.

Regional courts

In 1803 the regional courts were reorganized or partly rebuilt. The previous ducal district court Landsberg was converted into a Bavarian district court of the older order ; its tasks and its territory were redefined. It then included most of the places in today's district, but at that time some places in the south of the old district court were added to the district courts of Schongau and Weilheim . When the regional court in Bruck (later Fürstenfeldbruck) was set up in 1823, the regional court in Landsberg in the northeast had to hand over some communities to the new regional court.

District Office

In 1862, a new district court in Dießen am Ammersee was established from 18 communities belonging to the Landsberg regional court. Together with the Landsberg Regional Court, this formed the Landsberg District Office as an administrative authority under a Kgl. District Administrator . However, in 1879 the district court of Diessen was dissolved again. This had no effect on the district structure.

On November 1, 1874, the Landsberg district office was expanded to include the districts of Schongau.

On June 1, 1877, the city of Landsberg am Lech left the district office of Landsberg am Lech and became a city ​​directly within the district .

On April 1, 1881, the Raisting community was ceded to the Weilheim district office in Upper Bavaria.

On January 1, 1914, the Landsberg am Lech district office handed over the Unterbergen community to the Friedberg district office. Schmiechen followed on January 1, 1915 .

district

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . So the district office became the district of Landsberg am Lech. The first district administrator was Hermann Loew (until 1942).

On April 1, 1940, the city of Landsberg am Lech was reintegrated into the district, but this was reversed on April 1, 1948.

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the Landsberg am Lech district was significantly enlarged on July 1, 1972. New to the district came

In 2002 the spelling of the name was officially changed from "Landsberg a.Lech" to "Landsberg am Lech".

Population development

The district of Landsberg am Lech gained around 28,000 inhabitants between 1988 and 2008, or grew by around 33% - one of the strongest increases in population in Bavaria during the period mentioned. Between 1988 and 2018 the district grew from 85,629 to 120,071 by 34,442 inhabitants or by 40.2%.

traffic

The two junctions of the railway network in this district - Kaufering and Geltendorf - are on the Munich – Buchloe state railway, which opened in 1872/73, and which is also used by long-distance trains to Switzerland.

As early as 1872, a line led from Kaufering to the district town of Landsberg , which was further built in 1886 as the Fuchstalbahn up the Lech to Schongau . To the north, the Lechfeldbahn was built as a connection to Augsburg in 1877 .

In Geltendorf, the Ammerseebahn has crossed Augsburg - Weilheim with the east-west line Munich - Buchloe since 1898 .

From 1907 to 1929 the first cogwheel railway in Bavaria, the Kinsau cogwheel railway , ran as a works railway from the Kinsau station on the Fuchstalbahn to the wood pulp factory on the Lech.

Of the 90 km of the network, 23 km of the Landsberg – Schongau (Fuchstalbahn) line were closed for regular passenger traffic; the goods traffic on this route is operated by Augsburger Localbahn GmbH.

The federal motorway 96 , which runs in an east-west direction, connects Lake Constance with Munich. The B 17 (partly as a Romantic Road ) leads from Augsburg into the Füssen and Tyrol area .
