District reform Baden-Württemberg 1973

Effective January 1, 1973, a district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg in which 32 districts were newly formed and three districts remained unchanged or almost unchanged. Already in the years before, i. H. Since 1967, there had been reclassifications of individual communities in preparation for the district reform. In addition, the voluntary phase of territorial reform in Baden-Württemberg had been running since 1970 , during which there had already been several community amalgamations across the district boundaries.

Illustration of the changes

reasons

In the literature and in the reports prepared on the occasion of the reforms, social and internal administrative developments are listed that justify a reorganization of the territorial layout of the administrative districts, districts and communities of Baden-Württemberg. These are:

the greater demand for administrative services;
the increased lag in the administration offer;
the urban / rural divide;
the need for public planning as well
higher population numbers to fulfill administrative tasks.

In terms of administrative services, there was an increasing shift from regulatory to service management. The administration system that had existed up to that point was unable to keep pace with the increased demands. An administrative improvement was particularly necessary in the surrounding areas of the larger cities, especially since the population in rural areas near the city was rising steadily. The new administrative units were to fulfill a newly desired planning function. In addition, if possible, minimum numbers of residents should be set in order to enable the administrative potential to specialize.

Composition of the counties

The lists essentially reflect the District Reform Act of July 26, 1971. Deviations and subsequent changes to the district boundaries are added as comments.
