history
The district of Biberach goes back to the Württemberg Oberamt of the same name , which was established after the transition of the formerly free imperial city of Biberach and its surrounding area to Württemberg in 1806. Furthermore, the upper offices of Ehingen , Riedlingen , Saulgau , Waldsee , Leutkirch and Zwiefalten had a share in today's district area.
From 1810 the upper offices belonged to the district bailiffs on the Danube or Lake Constance and from 1818 to the Danube district . Most of the upper offices were dissolved in the course of history and merged with neighboring ones. Only the upper offices of Biberach, Leutkirch and Laupheim remained in the 20th century (until 1845 its seat was in Wiblingen ). In 1924 the Danube District was dissolved, and in 1934 the upper offices were renamed to districts.
During the territorial reform of 1938, the districts of Leutkirch and Laupheim were dissolved. Some communities in the Leutkirch district and most of the Laupheim district came to the Biberach district.
During the district reform , the Biberach district received some communities in the Saulgau and Ehingen districts as well as the Billafingen and Langenenslingen districts of the Sigmaringen district on January 1, 1973, and in return gave the Dietmanns community to the Ravensburg district and the communities of Oberbalzheim and Unterbalzheim an der Alb-Donau -Circle from.
On October 1, 1972, the village of Ellighofen was reclassified from Moosbeuren to Attenweiler and thus came from the district of Ehingen to the district of Biberach.
On January 1, 1976, the places Gensenweiler, Hagnaufurt, Hervetsweiler and Wattenweiler were separated from the town of Bad Waldsee, which was part of the Ravensburg district, and incorporated into the municipality of Ingoldingen .
Since the completion of the municipal reform in 1975, the district of Biberach has comprised 45 municipalities, including 6 towns and of these, Biberach an der Riss and Laupheim, two large district towns . The largest city in the district is Biberach an der Riß, the largest community in area is Langenenslingen , and the smallest community is Moosburg.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Biberach shows a split shield in front in gold a half, red armored black eagle at the crack, in the back a golden abbot with the crook to the left with silver velum. The coat of arms was newly awarded on March 4, 1970 and after the district reform on September 3, 1973.
The imperial eagle stands for the numerous imperial rulers in today's district, especially the formerly free imperial cities of Biberach and Buchau. The abbot stands for the numerous monasteries in the district, some of which were directly imperial and which were secularized in 1803 (Ochsenhausen, Rot an der Rot, Schussenried, Buchau, Heggbach, Heiligkreuztal, Gutenzell).
Economy and Infrastructure
The district holds a share of a good eleven percent in the Oberschwäbische Elektrizitätswerke and, through this stake, also influences the business policy of the energy suppliers EnBW and EGVS . The district's largest employers include Boehringer Ingelheim , Liebherr , Handtmann , Diehl Aviation Laupheim , the district's clinics, Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug , Südpack , Uhlmann , Rentschler , Silit and Weishaupt .
After the Second World War, the vast majority of the population was still active in agriculture, and structural change in the Biberach district was carried out quickly compared to other districts.
According to a study by the Berlin Institute for Population and Development , the Biberach district is number one in the Federal Republic of Germany when it comes to future viability. With an unemployment rate of 2.5%, the district has one of the lowest in Germany (March 2017). Thus, there is almost full employment in the district, which is why the employment agency is increasingly concentrating on the search for suitable and qualified employees for the regional companies.
traffic
The district is accessed by a total of four railway lines. There is also a museum railway and a railway line that has now been completely closed. In detail these are:
- the Württemberg Southern Railway from Ulm to Friedrichshafen on the Laupheim West - Biberach - Bad Schussenried section

Municipalities before the district reform
From 1938 onwards, 87 communities , including four towns, belonged to the Biberach district .
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 Biberach made on December 1st, 1971 the municipality of Reinstetten, which united with the city of Ochsenhausen . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased.
The remaining communities went on January 1, 1973 in the enlarged district of Biberach. Two communities (Oberbalzheim and Unterbalzheim) came to the newly formed Alb-Donau district , where they merged on January 1, 1974 to form the municipality of Balzheim . The Dietmanns municipality came to the Ravensburg district because it was incorporated into the city of Bad Wurzach . Two years later, on January 1, 1975, Unterschwarzach was also incorporated into the town of Bad Wurzach and thus left the Biberach district.
The largest municipality in the old district of Biberach was the district town of Biberach an der Riss , which has been a major district town since February 1, 1962 . The smallest community was Grodt.
The old district of Biberach last covered an area of 1025 km² and had a total of 114,670 inhabitants at the 1970 census. It was the second largest district in Baden-Württemberg after the district of Aalen .
The table shows the population development of the old district of Biberach up to 1970. All population figures are census results.
