history

District Office Berchtesgaden

The Berchtesgaden district office was formed in 1862 through the merger of the older district courts Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden . Until 1905 it comprised a total of 24 communities. Until the nationwide change of the name from district office to district in 1939, their number was reduced to 19 municipalities through mergers and incorporations. In 1905, the community was St. Zeno of Bad Reichenhall incorporated. A small part of the community came to the neighboring community Bayerisch Gmain (until 1926: Gmain ). On July 1, 1909, the communities of Jettenberg (today: Unter- and Oberjettenberg ) and Ristfeucht merged to form the community of Schneizlreuth . On March 1, 1911, Ettenberg was incorporated into the Landschellenberg community .

On January 1, 1920, the districts of Berchtesgaden and Bad Reichenhall, whose boundaries coincided with the district courts, were combined into a single district association. Before that there was a general resolution of June 14, 1919 to change the term district or its extensions such as district school etc. to district and district school . The administration of this district association was only transferred to the district assembly and district committee , from 1933 to the district assembly alone. The city of Bad Reichenhall became a district immediate city in 1929 and thus left the district office.

With the Third Ordinance on the Rebuilding of the Reich of November 28, 1938 during the National Socialist era , the administrative districts were given the designation Landkreis on January 1, 1939 . Thus went District Office Berchtesgaden in the district of Berchtesgaden on the County Council on 26 September 1939 on the district administration and the jurisdiction.

On January 1, 1940, the city of Bad Reichenhall was incorporated into the district.

After the end of the Second World War , the members of the district assembly were appointed by the American military government; from April 20, 1946, the district assembly was elected by the population.

On April 1, 1948, Bad Reichenhall became an independent city again.

After the Second World War, the governor of the Austrian state of Salzburg aimed for a "traung limit", which would mean that the Berchtesgaden district would have been transferred from Bavaria to Salzburg and thus to Austria.

On October 1, 1969, the communities of Marktschellenberg , Landschellenberg and Scheffau were merged to form the new community of Marktschellenberg. From July 1, 1972, as part of the regional reform in Bavaria, the district of Berchtesgaden together with the southern part of the district of Laufen and the independent city of Bad Reichenhall formed the new district of Bad Reichenhall , which was renamed the district of Berchtesgadener Land on May 1, 1973 .

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Berchtesgaden district.jpg

Blazon : The shield shows in blue crossed a gold and a silver key, over a silver orb with golden tires and Cross, including a silver salt load of floor .

The two keys are the symbol of St. Peter , the patron saint of the former abbey and prince provost of Berchtesgaden . As an independent principality, the Berchtesgadener Land was directly subordinate to the emperor, which is symbolized by the imperial orb. (The state borders of the core region of Berchtesgadener Land enclosed an area that was only slightly smaller than that of the Berchtesgaden district from 1948.) The lower part shows a saltfuderstock (see also Fuder , a bucket and at the same time a measure of capacity for salt transport), which indicates salt extraction as historical For a long time it was a very important source of income in the region. The coat of arms was granted to the Berchtesgaden district on May 16, 1962.

License Plate

Until 1945 it was used for the district as part of Upper Bavaria II B and after the Second World War as part of the American occupation zone AB 27 as a license plate. On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign BGD when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced .

The license plate of the district of Berchtesgaden was issued for a good seven years even after its dissolution in the course of the regional reform on July 1, 1972. In particular because of violent protests from the former district of Berchtesgaden against the loss of his BGD , the license plate BGL was issued for the entire new district only from August 1, 1979 .

With the reform of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (" license plate liberalization ") that came into force on November 1, 2012 , the issue of old license plates is permitted again. After a narrow majority of the district council voted against this possibility in 2013, the distinguishing mark BGD has been available again in the district of Berchtesgadener Land on request, based on a district council resolution of July 22, 2016, since September 15, 2016 - but the standard code remains 'BGL' .
