About this picture

The district of Überlingen was a district in Baden-Württemberg that was dissolved in the course of the district reform on January 1, 1973 .

geography

location

The district of Überlingen was in the south of Baden-Württemberg .

Geographically, the district of Überlingen had a share in the Hegau and Linzgau . The district town of Überlingen was in the southwest of the district.

Neighboring areas

Its neighboring districts were the Stockach , Sigmaringen , Ravensburg and Tettnang districts , starting clockwise in 1972 . In the south, Lake Constance formed its natural border.

history

Before 1800, the area of ​​the later district of Überlingen belonged to various dominions, including the princes of Fürstenberg . In 1810, the area came to Baden , which initially formed several offices , including the offices or district offices of Heiligenberg, Herdwangen, Meersburg, Pfullendorf , Salem and Überlingen, which changed several times over the course of history and some were soon dissolved. They belonged to the Seekreis in the state commissioner district of Konstanz . In 1849 the Heiligenberg District Office and in 1857 the Salem District Office were abolished. The two remaining offices of Überlingen and Pfullendorf were merged in 1936 to form the office of Überlingen. This resulted in the Überlingen district in 1939.

After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Überlingen belonged to the administrative district of South Baden . In the run-up to the district reform or the community reform from 1971, the district area changed in five cases: On January 1, 1969, the Adelsreute community was assigned to the Ravensburg district, where it was incorporated into the city of Ravensburg five years later (October 1, 1974) . At the same time, on January 1, 1969, the Gaisweiler community moved from the Sigmaringen district to the Überlingen district. On December 1, 1971, the municipality of Raderach and on April 1, 1972 the municipality of Kluftern merged with the city of Friedrichshafen, Tettnang district , so both communities left the Überlingen district. On December 1, 1971, the municipality of Wangen was incorporated into the municipality of Ostrach, Sigmaringen district, and thus also left the Überlingen district.

With effect from January 1, 1973, the Überlingen district was dissolved. Most of its communities merged into the new Lake Constance district , which became the legal successor to the Überlingen district. The communities in the northern district were incorporated into the enlarged Sigmaringen district. Since then, all communities in the former Überlingen district have belonged to the Tübingen district .

District Administrator

The senior officials or district administrators of the district office or district of Überlingen 1803–1972:

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the district of Überlingen showed in a shield diagonally divided by silver and blue above a black stepped sloping bar, below a silver fish sloping downwards. The coat of arms was awarded by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg on October 16, 1958.

The sloping beam symbolizes the "Heiligenberger Stiege", the coat of arms of the Counts of Heiligenberg , who ruled the Linzgau, which essentially coincides with the district area. They were inherited by the Counts of Werdenberg and these in turn by the Princes of Fürstenberg. The fish symbolizes Lake Constance and stands for the once important fishing in the region.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

There was no federal motorway running through the district . Therefore, the district was opened up by the federal highway 31 and several district roads.

Communities

From 1936 onwards, there were 66 municipalities in the Überlingen district, four of them towns.

On March 7, 1968, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg set the course for a community reform . With the law to strengthen the administrative power of smaller municipalities , it was possible for smaller municipalities to voluntarily unite to form larger municipalities. The beginning in the district of Überlingen was made on July 1, 1971 by the municipality of Bambergen, which merged with the city of Überlingen . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the Überlingen district was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.

The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Überlingen. The smallest communities were Roggenbeuren (in 1961) and Gaisweiler, which was only reclassified in 1969 (in 1970).

In the table, the municipalities of the Überlingen district are before the municipal reform. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
