Oberamt Ellwangen
The Oberamt Ellwangen was an administrative district in eastern Württemberg (on attached map no. 12) , which was renamed the Ellwangen district in 1934 and dissolved in 1938. Most of the communities came to the Aalen district ( part of the Ostalb district since 1973 ), two communities were assigned to the Hall district (from 1941 Schwäbisch Hall district ). For general remarks on the Württemberg upper offices, see Oberamt (Württemberg) .
history
In anticipation of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Württemberg took possession of the territory of the prince provost of Ellwangen in September 1802 . The Oberamt Ellwangen was formed from its northern part. In 1806 former German order or knightly places were added. In 1810 the district experienced an expansion to the east after the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg had finally determined the common border in the Paris Treaty. The Oberamt, which was assigned to the Jagstkreis from 1818 to 1924, bordered the Württemberg Oberamt Aalen , Neresheim , Crailsheim , Gaildorf and the Kingdom of Bavaria .
Former gentlemen
Before 1802, the fragmentation of sovereign rights in the Swabian-Franconian border area was particularly pronounced. Outside of their core areas, many rulers had free float down to individual goods, with which the lower jurisdiction over the respective subjects was usually connected.
In 1813, after the regional reform was completed, the district was made up of parts that had belonged to the following rulers in 1800 (unless otherwise stated, in whole or in part).
