history
The district of Emmendingen goes back to the old district office of Emmendingen, which was established after the transition to Baden after 1803. In the course of its history it was changed several times (including the abolition of the Kenzingen office in 1872 and the abolition of the Breisach office in 1924) and from January 1, 1939 it was designated as the district of Emmendingen . At the same time most of the places of the dissolved office were assigned to Waldkirch.
During the district reform , the district received the Jechtingen community of the dissolved district of Freiburg on January 1, 1973. Through further community reforms he experienced on January 1, 1974 (Kiechlinsbergen, was incorporated into the city of Endingen am Kaiserstuhl on the same day ) and on April 1, 1974 (Leiselheim, which was incorporated into Sasbach ), a small increase in the northwestern Kaiserstuhl. The original intention to unite the district of Emmendingen with the district of Lahr was not realized.
After the community reform has been completed, the district of Emmendingen will comprise 24 communities, including six towns and of these, in turn, a major district town (Emmendingen). The city of Waldkirch exceeded the limit of 20,000 inhabitants in 2003 and became the second major district town in the Emmendingen district with effect from January 1, 2009. The largest city is Emmendingen, the smallest municipality is Forchheim / Kaiserstuhl.

On January 1, 1964, the municipality of Prechtal formed the independent municipality of Oberprechtal from 9 residential spaces. Thus the district had a total of 58 municipalities.

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 Emmendingen was made by the communities of Altsimonswald, Haslachsimonswald and Untersimonswald, which merged on April 1, 1970 to form the community of Simonswald . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased. After the district reform on January 1, 1973, from which the district of Emmendingen initially emerged without border changes, three communities from the previous district of Freiburg (Kiechlinsbergen, Jechtingen and Leiselheim) came to the district of Emmendingen as a result of incorporations into communities in the district area.
