geography
location
The Crailsheim district was in the east of Baden-Württemberg on the border with Bavaria .
Geographically, it had a share in the Swiss franc . The Jagst , a tributary of the Neckar , ran through the district .
Neighboring areas
Its neighboring districts were clockwise beginning in 1972 in the northeast of Rothenburg ob der Tauber , Feuchtwangen and Dinkelsbühl (in Bavaria) as well as Aalen , Schwäbisch Hall , Künzelsau and Mergentheim .
history
Before 1800, the area of the Crailsheim district belonged to various dominions, including Brandenburg-Ansbach , Hohenlohe and the imperial cities of Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Dinkelsbühl . Between 1803 and 1810, the area came to Württemberg , where it initially belonged to the upper offices of Crailsheim , Gaildorf , Gerabronn and Hall , which belonged to the bailiffs on the Jagst and on the Kocher. From 1818 they belonged to the Jagstkreis (which was dissolved in 1924), and in 1934 they were renamed to circles. In 1938 the Gerabronn and Gaildorf districts were dissolved. The now enlarged Crailsheim district received most of the communities in the Gerabronn district and some communities in the Künzelsau district.
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Crailsheim belonged to the administrative district of North Württemberg .
Effective January 1, 1973, the Crailsheim district was dissolved and its communities were assigned to the enlarged Schwäbisch Hall district , which became the legal successor to the Crailsheim district. Two communities (Stimpfach and Rechenberg, which merged at the same time to form the new community Stimpfach ) were temporarily assigned to the Ostalb district , but returned to the Schwäbisch Hall district on January 1, 1974. On January 1, 1975, however, the community Simprechtshausen left the district because it was incorporated into Mulfingen , Hohenlohekreis .

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Crailsheim showed under a silver shield head, inside a striding, looking, red armored black lion, a split shield, in front in gold an upright black peg (kettle hook), in the back square in silver and black. The coat of arms was awarded to the Crailsheim district on February 18, 1952 by the state government of Württemberg-Baden .
The lion comes from the coat of arms of the Lords of Hohenlohe, the four-sided shield comes from the coat of arms of the Margraviate Brandenburg-Ansbach and the Kräuel is taken from the coat of arms of the district town of Crailsheim. This is a clawed boiler hook.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
In terms of rail traffic, the district was well connected by the long-distance routes Stuttgart – Nuremberg in the west-east and Aschaffenburg – Ulm in the north-south direction. A branch line connected the former Oberamtsstadt Gerabronn and the residential city of Langenburg with the main line in Blaufelden. The Crailsheim rail junction was of great importance and had an extensive depot.
There was no federal motorway running through the district (the A 6 did not exist in this section at the time). Therefore it was only opened up by the federal highway 290 , the then B 14 and several state and district roads.
Communities
From 1938 on, 58 municipalities initially belonged to the Crailsheim district, 5 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 Crailsheim district was made on January 1, 1971 by the Tiefenbach community, which was incorporated into the city of Crailsheim. In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the Crailsheim district finally merged into the Schwäbisch Hall district on January 1, 1973 .
The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Crailsheim . The smallest community was Hornberg.
In the table, the municipalities of the Crailsheim district are before the municipal reform. Today they all belong to the Schwäbisch Hall district, with the exception of Simprechtshausen, which is part of the Hohenlohe district as a result of its incorporation to Mulfingen (1975) . Rechenberg and Stimpfach moved to Ostalbkreis in 1973 , and in November Rechenberg was incorporated into Stimpfach. In January 1975, Weipertshofen was also incorporated and the community moved back to the former district congregations in the Schwäbisch Hall district.
The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinguishing sign CR when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until December 31, 1972. It has been available in the Schwäbisch Hall district since March 28, 2014 due to the license plate liberalization .
