geography
location
The district of Horb was located in the southern center of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, he mainly had a share in the foothills of the Black Forest .
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors were in 1972 in a clockwise direction, beginning in the north, Calw , Böblingen , Tübingen , Hechingen , Balingen , Rottweil and Freudenstadt , with the western part of the Hechingen district dividing the Horb district into roughly two equal parts. In the northern part was the district town of Horb am Neckar , in the southern part the city of Sulz am Neckar .
history
Before 1800, the area of the district of Horb belonged predominantly to Upper Austria and the Duchy of Württemberg as well as to some smaller dominions. Therefore there was an Oberamt Sulz even before 1800 . In 1806 the Oberamt Horb was formed. Between the Horb and Sulz authorities there was a strip of Hohenzollern territory.
From 1810 both senior offices belonged to the Landvogtei on the middle Neckar and from 1818 to the Black Forest District , which was dissolved in 1924. In the meantime, individual places changed their senior officials. In 1934 the two senior offices were renamed to districts, and in 1938 the Sulz district was dissolved. The largest part came to the district of Horb, which henceforth consisted of two separate areas. After the Second World War, the district became part of the new federal state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern and, after the regional reorganization in 1952, became part of Baden-Württemberg in the southwest . After that he belonged to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern .
Due to the community reform in the 1970s, the district area changed several times. On December 1, 1971, the communities of Gündringen, Schietingen and Vollmaringen were incorporated into the city of Nagold and thus became part of the Calw district . At the same time, Wiesenstetten was incorporated into the community of Empfingen and thus came to the district of Hechingen (later, however, as a whole to the district of Freudenstadt). On April 1, 1972, the municipality of Bieringen was incorporated into the city of Rottenburg am Neckar and thus became part of the Tübingen district .
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Horb was dissolved. Its northern area (20 communities) came to the enlarged Freudenstadt district . The southern part (16 municipalities) came to the Rottweil district . Eight communities came to the enlarged Tübingen district, to which Bieringen had belonged since April 1972, and another community came to the also enlarged Calw district, to which three communities had belonged since 1971. Thus, besides Hechingen, Horb is the only former district in Baden-Württemberg whose area is now in three different government districts. The legal successor to the district of Horb was the district of Freudenstadt.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
There was no federal motorway running through the district (the A 81 did not exist at that time). Therefore, it was only accessible through federal highways 14 and 32 as well as several state and district roads.
Communities
From 1938, 49 municipalities initially belonged to the district of Horb, including 3 cities.
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 district of Horb made on July 1, 1971 several communities, including places that united with the city of Horb am Neckar . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the district of Horb was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest community in the district was the district town of Horb am Neckar , the smallest community was Ihlingen.
In the table, the municipalities of the district of Horb are before the municipal reform. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
