geography
location
The district of Müllheim was located in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg.
Geographically, the district predominantly had a share in the Upper Rhine Plain . The district seat of Müllheim was roughly in the middle of the district area.
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors in 1972 were the Freiburg district in the north and the Lörrach district in the east and south . In the west, the Rhine formed the natural border with the French department of Haut-Rhin .
history
Before 1800 the area of the later district of Müllheim belonged mainly to the margraviate of Baden ( dominion of Badenweiler ). The area mainly belonged to the Badenweiler Oberamt. In 1809 the office of Müllheim was formed within the Wiesenkreis (later Dreisamkreis), which has changed several times in the course of history. In 1864 it was elevated to a district office within the regional commissioner district of Freiburg . In 1939 the district office of Müllheim was given the name Landkreis Müllheim.
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Müllheim belonged to the administrative district of South Baden . As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed in one case. On December 1, 1971, the municipality of Biengen, Freiburg district, was incorporated into the Bad Krozingen municipality and thus became part of the Müllheim district.
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Müllheim was dissolved. Its communities in the north went on in the newly formed district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald , which thus became the legal successor of the district of Müllheim. Some communities in the south of the district became part of the enlarged district of Lörrach .

coat of arms
The district of Müllheim did not have its own coat of arms: although the district wanted to have one of its own in the 1960s, the creation of a coat of arms was so protracted that none was found before the district reform came into force.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The federal motorway 5 Karlsruhe-Basel ran through the western district area from north to south . Federal highway 3 also ran through the district.
Communities
From 1936, 49 municipalities initially belonged to the district of Müllheim, of which 6 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 district of Müllheim was made on January 1st, 1970 by the municipality of Vögisheim, which merged with the city of Müllheim. In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the district of Müllheim was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
Most of the inhabitants were in the district town of Müllheim, while the community of Gallenweiler had few.
In the table, the municipalities of the district of Müllheim are before the municipal reform. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.

On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive MÜL sign when the license plates that are still valid today were introduced . It was issued until December 31, 1972.
