history

The Freudenstadt district goes back to the former Württemberg Oberamt Freudenstadt , which was created in 1806/07 instead of the old Oberamt Dornstetten and Freudenstadt or the monastery offices of Alpirsbach and Reichenbach . From 1810 it belonged to the Black Forest bailiff and from 1818 to the Black Forest district . In the eastern district area, the Oberamt Horb was formed in 1806 from areas that formerly belonged mainly to Upper Austria. In the southeast there was the Oberamt Sulz . From 1810 both senior offices belonged to the bailiwick on the middle Neckar and from 1818 also to the Black Forest district, which was dissolved in 1924. In the meantime, too, individual places changed their senior officials. In 1934 the three senior offices were renamed to districts and in 1938 the Sulz district was dissolved. The largest part came to the district of Horb , which, due to parts of the Prussian district of Hechingen, consisted from now on of two separate areas (northern part with the district town of Horb am Neckar and southern part around Sulz am Neckar). After the Second World War, both districts became part of the new federal state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern and, after the reorganization of the federal states in 1952, became part of Baden-Württemberg in the southwest . After that they belonged to the administrative district of South Württemberg-Hohenzollern .

During the district reform on January 1, 1973, the district of Horb was dissolved. Its northern area came to the enlarged Freudenstadt district, which also received the communities of Dießen and Empfingen in the dissolved district of Hechingen , the communities of Peterzell and Römlinsdorf in the district of Rottweil and the communities of Bad Rippoldsau and Schapbach in the also dissolved district of Wolfach . He ceded the municipality of Fünfbronn to the district of Calw . The southern part of the district of Horb came to the district of Rottweil.

On January 1, 1971, the district received the municipality of Reutin from the district of Rottweil. This was incorporated into the town of Alpirsbach .

The municipality of Busenweiler moved to the Rottweil district on April 1, 1974, and the Garrweiler municipality to the Calw district on October 1, 1974. On January 1, 1977, the village of Tauchert, which had more than 25 inhabitants at that time, was changed from Forbach (Rastatt district) to Baiersbronn .

After the municipal reform was completed, the new Freudenstadt district initially comprised 17 municipalities, including four towns and of these two large district towns ( Freudenstadt and Horb am Neckar ). On 1 January 2007 the municipality was Betzweiler-Walde after Loßburg incorporated. This means that the district only has 16 municipalities, including four cities. The largest city is Horb am Neckar, the smallest municipality is Wörnersberg .

traffic

The Württemberg State Railroad ran its first route from Stuttgart up the Neckar via Tübingen to Horb ( Upper Neckar Railway ) in 1866 and continued in the direction of Rottweil the following year.

In 1874 the railway from Pforzheim through Nagoldtal also reached the former district town of Horb. The small section Eutingen – Hochdorf was also used by the then Gäubahn Stuttgart – Freudenstadt from 1879 . From there it went on to Alpirsbach – Hausach ( Kinzigtalbahn ) in 1886 .

In 1901 Freudenstadt Hbf became a junction for the Murgtalbahn , which ran via Freudenstadt Stadtbahnhof to Klosterreichenbach and only in 1928 under the direction of the Deutsche Reichsbahn further down the valley towards Rastatt. It has been operated electrically by AVG since the end of 2003 : the S31 and S41 S-Bahn lines run between Freudenstadt and Karlsruhe.

The Gäubahn is now served by an extended S41 and regional express trains from Stuttgart to Freudenstadt.

The Hohenzollerische Landesbahn has been touching today's Horber district of Mühringen with the Eyach – Haigerloch line since 1901. Passenger traffic has been idle here since 1972.

Since 2001 the uniform public transport tariff of the Verkehrs-Gemeinschaft Landkreis Freudenstadt has been in effect in the entire district .

The district area is touched at the southeast corner by the federal highway 81 ( Stuttgart - Singen (Hohentwiel) ). Otherwise it is accessible through federal, state and district roads. An important federal road is the B 500 ("Black Forest High Road"), which , coming from Baden-Baden , leads past the western district border in a southerly direction.

Municipalities before the district reform

Before the district reform in 1973 or before the community reform , the (old) Freudenstadt district had a total of 50 communities since 1938 , including 3 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 old Freudenstadt district was made on January 1, 1971 by the municipality of Reutin, which merged with the city of Alpirsbach , and the municipalities of Betzweiler and Waeler, which merged to form the new municipality of Betzweiler-Waeler . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased.

The remaining communities in the old Freudenstadt district were merged into the new, enlarged Freudenstadt district on January 1, 1973 . In 1974/75, as part of the community reform, he gave two more communities to the Calw district and one community to the Rottweil district.

The largest municipality in the old Freudenstadt district was the district town of Freudenstadt . The smallest community was ore mine.

The old district of Freudenstadt last covered an area of ​​612 km² and had a total of 65,548 inhabitants at the 1970 census .
