geography

location

The district of Heilbronn is traversed from the south in a wide arc to the northwest by the Neckar , which divides the district into two roughly equal parts. The Neckar basin , bordered by the Odenwald and Kraichgau, fills more than a third of the circular area. Heilbronn and Neckarsulm lie in the middle . His brown soils made of loamy sand on Keuper with plenty of loess are fertile. The lowest point of the circle at Gundelsheim with 139  m above sea level. NN lies here in the narrowing valley. Otherwise, hills dominate the landscape. The western part is mainly part of the Kraichgau with wide plateaus and large fields, the eastern part rises towards the Hohenlohe plain to the Löwenstein mountains . In the Zabergäu , the mild weather on the Stromberg and Heuchelberg enables viticulture as well as in the valleys of the Neckar and its tributaries and in parts of the Kraichgau. At 564 m, the highest point is in the southeast of the district near Wüstenrot in the Mainhardt Forest. Between Kocher and Jagst , barren plateaus again tower over the relatively deep river indentations in the east, which contain only small but very fertile agricultural areas. Other waters are Bottwar , Brettach , Lein , Elsenz , Zaber , Seckach , Sulm and Schozach .

history

The district of Heilbronn goes back to the old Oberamt Heilbronn , which was established after the transition of the former imperial city to Württemberg after 1803 and to which more than half of the communities of the dissolved Oberamt Weinsberg were attached in 1926 . On January 29, 1934 the Oberamt Heilbronn was transferred to the Heilbronn district (since November 28, 1938 Heilbronn district), which was enlarged on October 1, 1938 to include the municipalities of the dissolved Oberämter Neckarsulm , Brackenheim , Marbach and Besigheim . At the same time, the Heilbronn district was created. Since then Heilbronn has not belonged to the district area, but remained the seat of the district administration.

In May 1939, around 107,000 people lived in around 30,000 households in the Heilbronn district; the area of ​​the district was around 85,000 hectares. The number of inhabitants rose steadily to over 119,000 people during the Second World War and the immediate post-war period up to December 1945, despite many victims. The male losses from war and relocation were largely offset by relocation gains (refugees from the destroyed cities and displaced persons), while the female population grew strongly. In December 1945, the Heilbronn district was around 600 people (around 1%) behind the pre-war population among its male inhabitants, while the female population had grown by 14,000 people (around 26%) over the same period. The clear surplus of women had a particular impact on employment structures.

During the district reform , the Heilbronn district was expanded on January 1, 1973 to include seven communities in the Sinsheim district , two communities in the Mosbach district , three communities in the Öhringen district and the Finsterrot community in the Schwäbisch Hall district .

As early as January 1, 1971, the municipality of Korb in the district of Buchen was incorporated and incorporated into the town of Möckmühl . On September 1, 1971, Unterkessach was added, which opened up in the city of Aries . The district of Heilbronn, in turn, ceded the town of Kleingartach to the district of Sinsheim on December 1, 1971.

Gronau moved to the Ludwigsburg district on January 1, 1972 . On March 1, 1972, Ruchsen was taken over from the Buchen district and integrated into the town of Möckmühl. Kirchhausen came to the Heilbronn district on July 1, 1972. One day before the district reform came into effect, on December 31, 1972, the municipality of Stein am Kocher - previously in the district of Mosbach - was incorporated and incorporated into the city of Neuenstadt am Kocher .

The communities of Biberach (January 1, 1974), Frankenbach and Horkheim (both April 1, 1974) were given to the city of Heilbronn.

On January 1, 1977, Brettach came to the Hohenlohe district through its reunification from Wüstenrot to Bretzfeld .

After the municipality reform in Baden-Württemberg has been completed, the district still comprises 46 municipalities, including 17 towns and of these, in turn, three large district towns (Bad Rappenau, Eppingen and Neckarsulm). The largest city is Neckarsulm , the smallest municipality is Roigheim in the northeast of the district.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the Heilbronn district

The blazon of the coat of arms of the district of Heilbronn reads: In red a mutilated silver eagle below. The coat of arms was awarded to the district on June 20, 1955 by the state government, after the new formation of the district again on September 3, 1973 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior.

The coat of arms goes back to the oldest city seal of the city of Lauffen am Neckar , which probably shows an imperial eagle . At the time of the award in 1955, it was still assumed that the mutilated eagle was the coat of arms of the Counts of Lauffen , who owned or administered parts of today's district in the High Middle Ages. It is now assumed that the Counts of Lauffen had a lion or leopard in their coat of arms.

The old coat of arms of the Heilbronn district

Before 1955, the district had a different coat of arms, which had been adopted by the Heilbronn District Office. In 1927, the administrative body of the Upper Office requested a proposal for a coat of arms from the Württemberg archives. The archive management recommended a coat of arms which, as symbols for Neckar shipping and viticulture, should show a silver anchor in blue, each accompanied by a silver cup. The district council, however, rejected the two cups as an overly emphasized symbol of enjoyment. Instead, the Oberamt adopted a different coat of arms designed by Walther Eberbach in 1928 , which remained in use until 1955. In a split shield with a lowered, curved tip, it showed a silver ear of wheat in front in black, behind in red a silver hammer turned to the left, below in gold a hanging blue grape; a blue anchor in the silver heart shield. The ear of wheat stood for agriculture, the hammer for industry and trade, the grape for viticulture and the anchor for shipping on the Neckar. From a heraldic point of view, this coat of arms was too overloaded, which is why in 1954 negotiations between the Baden-Wuerttemberg archives department and the district office came to a simpler, history-based coat of arms, from which the coat of arms awarded in 1955 emerged.

rail

Railway network LK Heilbronn.png

In 1848, the Württemberg State Railroad used the Neckar Valley for its first railway line in this area from Stuttgart to Heilbronn ( Northern Railway ). This was followed in 1862 by the Kocherbahn to Schwäbisch Hall and in 1866 by the extension of the Northern Railway along the Neckar Valley to Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld. From here, construction continued in the Jagsttal in 1869 to Möckmühl and on in the direction of Osterburken , where the Badische Odenwaldbahn Heidelberg –Würzburg was reached.

For the Baden State Railway , Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld was the starting point for connections to Heidelberg , namely in 1868/69 the Elsenz Valley Railway via Sinsheim to Meckesheim - there also with a connection to the Badische Odenwald Railway - and in 1879 the Neckar Valley Railway along the river valley via Eberbach.

In the years 1878 to 1880 the Kraichgaubahn Heilbronn – Karlsruhe was built , of which the two state railways and the city of Karlsruhe had each built a section. In 1900, in Eppingen, the Badische Staatsbahn branched off a connection to Steinsfurt near Sinsheim.

The Württemberg State Railroad dedicated two 750 mm narrow-gauge railways to local traffic:

A third narrow-gauge railway, the Jagsttalbahn , was opened by the Vering & Waechter company in 1900 and 1901 from Möckmühl in the direction of Dörzbach.

In the lower Kochertal, the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft started operating the Untere Kochertalbahn from Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld to Neuenstadt in 1907 and on to Ohrnberg in 1913 as a standard-gauge branch line .

Two routes operated by Badische Lokal-Eisenbahnen AG only marginally touched the district:

The rather dense railway network reached a maximum extent of almost 235 km. After the closure of several branch lines, 143 km of passenger traffic remained in operation. The following were shut down for passenger traffic:

  • 1951: Jagsttalbahn Möckmühl – Jagsthausen (–Dörzbach) (16 km; between 1967 and 1979 resumption for school traffic)
  • 1960: Katzbachbahn (Odenheim–) Elsenz (–Hilsbach) (3 km)
  • 1966: Bottwartalbahn (Marbach–) Beilstein – Heilbronn Süd (21 km)
  • 1986: Zabergäubahn Lauffen – Güglingen – Leonbronn (20 km; by 2011 the reactivation to Zaberfeld is planned for light rail operations)
  • 1993: Lower Kochertalbahn Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld-Kochersteinsfeld (-Ohrnberg) (19 km)
  • 2009: Krebsbachtalbahn (Neckarbischofsheim Nord–) Obergimpern – Siegelsbach (–Hüffenhardt) (7 km)

The S4 line of the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft runs on the Kraichgaubahn and parts of the Heilbronn – Crailsheim railway from Achern via Karlsruhe, Bretten , Eppingen and Heilbronn to Öhringen .

Municipalities before the district reform

Before the district reform in 1973 or before the community reform , the (old) district of Heilbronn comprised 99 communities , including 15 towns . In 1945 the former Baden community Schluchtern was added to the 97 communities since 1938 and in 1952 the former Hessian town Bad Wimpfen , which had belonged to the district of Sinsheim since 1945 , to the district of Heilbronn.

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 district of Heilbronn was made by the communities of Großgartach and Schluchtern, which merged on January 1, 1970 to form the new community of Leingarten . The municipality of Klingenberg was incorporated into the Heilbronn district on the same day and thus left the district. In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased. On January 1, 1972, the municipality of Gronau was incorporated into the municipality of Oberstenfeld , Ludwigsburg district. On July 1, 1972, Kirchhausen was also incorporated into the Heilbronn district. These communities also left the district. The remaining communities in the old district of Heilbronn merged on January 1, 1973 in the new, enlarged district of Heilbronn; however, on January 1, 1974, he gave the municipality of Biberach and on April 1, 1974 the municipalities of Frankenbach and Horkheim, which before 1973 belonged to the old Heilbronn district, to the Heilbronn urban district.

The largest community in the old district of Heilbronn was the city of Neckarsulm . The smallest community was Bittelbronn.

The old district of Heilbronn last covered an area of ​​872  km² and had a total of 193,751 inhabitants at the 1970 census .

The table shows the population development in the old district of Heilbronn up to 1970. All population figures are census results.

With the exception of the five municipalities incorporated into the Heilbronn district (¹) and Gronau, which is part of the Ludwigsburg district due to its incorporation into Oberstenfeld, all of the communities still belong to the Heilbronn district today.
