district Court
The area of the later district of Gunzenhausen only became part of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806, a completely new administrative structure was set up for the young state. In the course of this administrative division of Bavaria , the district courts Gunzenhausen and Heidenheim were set up in 1808 , which initially belonged to the Altmühlkreis , from 1810 to the Oberdonaukreis and from 1817 to the Rezatkreis , which was renamed Middle Franconia in 1838 .
District Office
The district office of Gunzenhausen was formed in 1862 through the merger of the district courts of the older order Gunzenhausen and Heidenheim.
On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Gunzenhausen district office received four municipalities from the dissolved Heilsbronn District Office and the municipality of Fünfbronn from the Schwabach District Office on January 1, 1880 .
