geography
location
The Münsingen district was in the south-east of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, he had a share in the Swabian Alb and its foreland. The district town of Münsingen was roughly in the middle of the district.
Neighboring areas
Its neighboring districts were 1972 clockwise starting in the north of Nürtingen , Göppingen , Ulm , Ehingen , Saulgau , Sigmaringen and Reutlingen .
history
Even before 1800, the area of the Münsingen district belonged mainly to the Duchy of Württemberg and to the Zwiefalten monastery . This is why the Münsingen Oberamt already existed before 1800, and it has been changed several times in the course of its history. In addition, there was a Oberamt Zwiefalten from 1802, which was dissolved in 1810. The majority came to the Oberamt Münsingen, which then belonged to the Landvogtei on the Alb and from 1818 to the Danube District . In 1924 the Danube District was dissolved and in 1934 the Münsingen District Office was renamed the Münsingen District. In 1938 the neighboring district of Urach was dissolved. As a result, the Münsingen district expanded to include some communities from the former Urach District Office . In 1945 the Münsingen district became part of the newly formed state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was added to the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 . From then on he belonged to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern .
Due to the community reform in the 1970s, the district area changed in several cases. On September 1, 1971, the communities Sirchingen and Wittlingen were incorporated into the city of Urach (today Bad Urach) and thus became part of the Reutlingen district. On March 1, 1972 the community of Justingen and on April 1, 1972 the communities of Hütten and Ingstetten were incorporated into the town of Schelklingen and thus became part of the Ehingen district .
With effect from January 1, 1973, the Münsingen district was dissolved. The majority came to the enlarged Reutlingen district, which became the legal successor to the Münsingen district. The town of Laichingen and the communities Ennabeuren , Feldstetten , Gundershofen , Sondernach , Sontheim and Westerheim became part of the newly formed Alb-Danube district .

coat of arms
The Münsingen district or the Münsingen Oberamt did not have its own coat of arms . Only the Württemberg deer sticks were listed in the official seals. But this was no longer permitted in 1930 by the Württemberg Ministry of the Interior. The Münsingen District Council then applied to the city to be able to use the Münsingen city coat of arms in the seals of the official body. The local council agreed and so there was no coat of arms for the Münsingen district in the period that followed.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
There was no federal motorway running through the district . Therefore, it was only opened up by federal highways 312 and 465 as well as several state and district roads.
Communities
From 1938 on, 58 municipalities were initially part of the Münsingen district, including 3 towns. In 1942 the Münsingen manor district was founded as a community-free area. The area was then inhabited. Among other things, the commune Gruorn, which was dissolved in 1938, was absorbed into it.
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 Münsingen district was made on July 1, 1971 by the communities of Auingen, Böttingen and Dottingen, which were incorporated into the city of Münsingen (Württemberg) . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased until the Münsingen district was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the city of Laichingen , the smallest was Bichishausen.
In the table, the municipalities of the Münsingen 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 MÜN when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until December 31, 1972.
