The Upper Black Forest district ( Neustadt / Black Forest district until November 10, 1956 ) was a district in Baden-Württemberg that was dissolved on January 1, 1973 as part of the district reform .
geography
location
The Upper Black Forest district was located in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, the Upper Black Forest district had a 4/5 share of the Black Forest , which is already expressed by the name of the district. A fifth of the Raumschaft Bonndorf and Löffingen belonged to the east of the Black Forest located Baar . The district seat of Neustadt in the Black Forest (today Titisee-Neustadt ) was roughly in the northern center of the district. At almost 850 m above sea level , it was the highest district town in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors were in 1972 clockwise starting in the north of Donaueschingen , Waldshut , Säckingen , Lörrach , Freiburg and Emmendingen .
history
Before 1800, the area that would later become the Upper Black Forest district belonged mainly to the Principality of Fürstenberg and the County of Bonndorf . In 1803, the area came to Baden , which initially formed several offices , including the offices and district offices of Bonndorf, Neustadt and St. Blasien, which have changed several times over the course of history and from 1864 belonged to the regional commissioner district of Freiburg . In 1924 the district offices of Bonndorf and St. Blasien were dissolved and some communities were assigned to the Neustadt district office. In 1936 other communities came to the Neustadt District Office and in 1939 this was given the name Neustadt District in the Black Forest.
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Neustadt belonged to the administrative district of South Baden . In 1956 the name of the district was changed to "Landkreis Hochschwarzwald". As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed in one case. On December 1, 1971, the municipality of Urach was incorporated into the town of Vöhrenbach , district of Donaueschingen (from 1973 Schwarzwald-Baar district ) and thus left the district of Upper Black Forest.
With effect from January 1, 1973, the Upper Black Forest district was dissolved. His remaining communities were mainly in the newly formed district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald , which thus became the legal successor of the district of Hochschwarzwald. However, some communities in the southern district were incorporated into the enlarged district of Waldshut .

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Hochschwarzwald district showed above a green shield base, in it two silver wavy strips, in green a silver three-mountain over which a silver stag jumps. The coat of arms was already adopted by the district council in 1955. Since the legal requirements for district coats of arms were only created by the district order of 1956, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior officially awarded the coat of arms to the Upper Black Forest district on July 13, 1960.
The coat of arms symbols should reflect the landscape of the district. The Dreiberg stands for the Black Forest, the wave bars for the two large lakes in the district (Titisee and Schluchsee) and the stag is intended to indicate the abundance of game.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
There was no federal motorway running through the district . Therefore, the district was only developed through federal highways, namely the B 31 , the B 317 and the B 500 .
Communities
From 1936 onwards, 49 municipalities initially belonged to the Neustadt district, of which 4 were 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 Hochschwarzwald district was made on January 1, 1970 by the municipality of Seppenhofen, which merged with the city of Löffingen. In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the Upper Black Forest district was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Neustadt in the Black Forest. The smallest community was Ebnet.
In the table, the municipalities of the Hochschwarzwald district are before the municipal reform. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign NEW when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is derived from the district town of Neustadt and was issued until December 31, 1972.
