history

The district of Heidenheim goes back to the Württemberg Oberamt Heidenheim of the same name , which was established during the time of the Duchy of Württemberg and expanded in 1808 to include the Oberamt Giengen , which only existed for a short time. From 1810 the Oberamt Heidenheim belonged to the Landvogtei am Kocher and from 1818 to the Jagstkreis , which was dissolved in 1924. In 1934 it was renamed the Heidenheim district and in 1938 some communities from the dissolved Neresheim district and some places from the Ulm district were incorporated into the Heidenheim district. In 1945 the district of Heidenheim became part of the newly formed state of Württemberg-Baden , which was merged into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 . From then on he belonged to the administrative region of North Württemberg, which included the Württemberg part of Württemberg-Baden.

The district reform of January 1, 1973 survived unchanged. On July 1, 1974, the place Sontbergen from the Alb-Danube district was added and was incorporated into the municipality of Gerstetten .

After the municipal reform has been completed, the district of Heidenheim still comprises eleven municipalities, including four towns and of these, in turn, two large district towns (Giengen an der Brenz and Heidenheim an der Brenz). The district of Heidenheim is thus the district with the fewest communities in Baden-Württemberg. The largest city is Heidenheim an der Brenz, the smallest municipality is Hermaringen .

The Sontheim-Brenz - Gundelfingen line established a cross connection from the Brenz Railway to the Bavarian Danube Valley from 1911.

The Alb plateau itself was opened up by private railways: In 1901, Badische Lokal-Eisenbahnen AG ran the narrow-gauge Härtsfeldbahn from Aalen via Neresheim to Dischingen and in 1906 to Dillingen an der Donau.

In the western part of the district, Gerstetten received a standard-gauge connection to Amstetten on the Stuttgart-Ulm main line in 1906 by the local railway Amstetten – Gerstetten of the Württemberg Railway Company . Both branch lines lost their passenger traffic; the Härtsfeldbahn in 1972, the other not until 1997. However, a museum railway is still operated here.
