history
The Enzkreis was created by the district reform on January 1, 1973 . At that time the old Pforzheim district was combined with communities in the surrounding districts to form the Enzkreis. In detail, 17 communities in the old district of Vaihingen , twelve communities in the district of Calw and four communities in the old district of Leonberg were incorporated. The old district of Pforzheim was fully integrated into the Enz district with the exception of three places. However, on January 1, 1974 ( Büchenbronn ), January 1, 1975 ( Huchenfeld ) and September 20, 1975 ( Eutingen an der Enz ), three more communities were incorporated into the Pforzheim district.
The old districts of Vaihingen and Leonberg and the district of Calw go back to the former Württemberg upper offices, which in 1938 took over the upper offices of Maulbronn and Neuenbürg , which were then dissolved . The old district of Pforzheim emerged in 1939 from the Pforzheim district office in Baden, and the Pforzheim urban district was created at the same time.
Since then, Pforzheim is no longer part of the district, but remained the seat of the district administration until 1972 and became the seat of the new Enz district after the district reform. After the municipal reform has been completed, this will include 28 municipalities, including the five cities of Knittlingen , Maulbronn , Neuenbürg , Heimsheim and the large district town of Mühlacker . Based on the number of inhabitants, Mühlacker is the largest town and Wimsheim is the smallest.

The rail networks of two state railways bordered on each other in the town of Pforzheim, which used to belong to Baden. The Badische Staatsbahn established the first connection from Karlsruhe to Pforzheim in 1859/61 and extended it to Mühlacker in 1863, where it joined the Stuttgart – Bretten line of the Württemberg State Railway, which was completed ten years earlier . This company opened a branch line from Pforzheim to Wildbad in 1868 and a line to Calw – Horb in the Nagold Valley in 1874 . It was not until 1914 that the connecting line from Maulbronn West to the city was added.
The Badische Lokal-Eisenbahnen- Gesellschaft connected Karlsruhe with Pforzheim from 1900/01 onwards with a narrow-gauge railway via Ittersbach. It was electrified in 1912 after the city of Pforzheim had installed an electric tram the year before. In 1931 the city took over the section from Ittersbach on its own.
In the far northeast, the new Deutsche Bahn line has been crossing the district since 1990. There is a possibility of boarding in Vaihingen / Enz, in the immediate vicinity of Illingen / Enzkreis.
