The district of Ehingen was in the south-east of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, it had a share in the Swabian Alb and the northern Alpine foothills. The Danube flows through the former district area from west to east. The district town of Ehingen (Danube) was roughly in the eastern center of the district.
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors were 1972 clockwise beginning in the north of Ulm , Biberach , Saulgau and Münsingen .
history
Before 1800, the area of the district of Ehingen belonged mainly to Upper Austria . After its transfer to the Kingdom of Württemberg , the Oberamt Ehingen was formed in 1806 , which in 1810 belonged to the Landvogtei on the Alb and from 1818 to the Danube District . In 1924 the Danube District was dissolved and in 1934 the Oberamt Ehingen was renamed District Ehingen. In 1938 the district of Ehingen was enlarged by some places in the districts of Blaubeuren and Riedlingen . In 1945 the district of Ehingen became part of the newly formed state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was added to the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 . From then on he belonged to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern .
As a result of the municipal reform in the 1970s, the district area changed in one case. On January 1, 1972, the Ringingen community was incorporated into the Erbach (Danube) community and thus became part of the Ulm district.
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Ehingen was dissolved. The majority came with the district of Ulm and some communities in the districts of Biberach and Münsingen to the new Alb-Danube district . Some communities in the south of the district of Ehingen came to the enlarged district of Biberach . Legal successor to the district of Ehingen was the Alb-Donau district.
