history

District Office

The district office of Karlstadt was formed in 1862 through the merger of the regional courts of the older order Arnstein and Karlstadt .

On March 10, 1871, the Karlstadt District Office ceded the Brebersdorf community to the Schweinfurt District Office .

On January 1, 1889, the Steinbach community moved to the Lohr am Main district office .

district

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . So the district office became the district of Karlstadt. At that time the district had 31,158 inhabitants.

On September 21, 1943, the Hammelburg district was enlarged to include the Bonnland community in the Karlstadt district. This was dissolved and incorporated into the Hammelburg army estate district. On April 1, 1949, it was spun off from the disbanded Hammelburg Army District of the Hammelburg district and re-established as an independent municipality in the Karlstadt district.

In the course of the regional reform, the district of Karlstadt was dissolved on July 1, 1972:

• The Gauaschach community came to the Bad Kissingen district together with the Bonnland community , which had already been resettled .
• The communities of Burghausen , Kaisten , Mühlhausen , Rütschenhausen , Schwemmelsbach and Wülfershausen came to the district of Schweinfurt .
• The communities of Erbshausen , Gramschatz , Hausen b. Arnstein , sacrificial tree and Rieden came to the district of Würzburg .
• All other municipalities were amalgamated with parts of the districts of Gemünden am Main , Lohr am Main and Marktheidenfeld to form the district of Main-Spessart (which was known as the district of Mittelmain until May 1, 1973 ). The district town was initially Lohr am Main , and from May 1, 1973 finally Karlstadt .
