history
After the proclamation of the constitution of the Grand Duchy of Hesse on December 17, 1820, a comprehensive administrative reform followed on July 14, 1821. Instead of the offices, districts were now set up. These were the forerunners of the circles. In the area of the later district of Erbach, the districts of Breuberg with their seat in Neustadt and Erbach with their seat in Erbach were founded.
With the law of July 31, 1848, the administrative units were enlarged one more time. The districts and district councils were replaced by "government districts", whereby the previous districts of Breuberg and Erbach were merged to form the administrative district of Erbach , plus the district of Wimpfen , a Hessian exclave in Baden. Just four years later, however, they returned to the division into districts, with the Erbach district being formed from the Beerfelden regional court district and part of the Michelstadt regional court district.
On July 1, 1874, a district reform was carried out in the Grand Duchy of Hesse:
- The municipalities of Bockenrod , Eberbach , Erzbach , Frohnhofen , Gersprenz , Groß-Gumpen , Kirch-Beerfurth , Klein-Gumpen , Nieder-Kainsbach , Ober-Kainsbach , Ober-Klein-Gumpen , Ober-Easter , Pfaffen- Beerfurth , Reichelsheim , Rohrbach and Unter-Easter in the Erbach district.
- From the dissolved district Neustadt changed the communities Affhöllerbach , Annelsbach , Birkert, Breuberg hand , Birkert, Habitzheimer hand , Böllstein , Breitenbrunn , Dusenbach , Etzen buttocks , Forstel , Fürstengrund , Gumpersberg , Haingrund , Grove City , Hassenroth , Hembach , Hetschbach , Höchst Odenwald , Höllerbach , Hummetroth , Kimbach , Kirch-Brombach , König , Langen-Brombach Breuberger Seits , Lützel-Wiebelsbach , Mittel-Kinzig , Mühlhausen , Mümling-Grumbach , Neustadt , Nieder-Kinzig , Ober-Kinzig , Pfirschbach , Rai-Breitenbach , Rimhorn , Sandbach , Seckmauern , Vielbrunn , Wald-Amorbach and Wallbach in the Erbach district.
The district of Erbach remained unaffected by the regional reform in the People's State of Hesse on November 1, 1938. In 1939 the district of Erbach became the district of Erbach. In 1945 the district of Erbach became part of today's state of Hesse. It was enlarged slightly on July 1, 1971, when the municipality of Laudenau from the Bergstrasse district became a part of the Reichelsheim municipality in the Odenwald .
Due to the law on the reorganization of the district of Erbach , the district area expanded on August 1, 1972 to include the communities of Fränkisch-Crumbach and Brensbach from the district of Dieburg . At the same time, the district of Erbach was renamed Odenwaldkreis .
