Prehistory of the Mergentheim district
Before 1800, the area of the Mergentheim district belonged to various domains, including the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach , the Principality of Hohenlohe , the German Order and the imperial city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber . From 1803 to 1810 the area came to Württemberg , which formed the upper offices of Mergentheim and Gerabronn , which belonged to the Landvogtei an der Jagst. From 1818 they belonged to the Jagstkreis (which was dissolved in 1924), and in 1934 they were renamed to circles. On October 1, 1938, the Gerabronn district was dissolved. Some communities were incorporated into what is now the Mergentheim district.
The Mergentheim district in the post-war period
In the Mergentheim district after the Second World War, a total of 10,801 displaced persons from the areas beyond the Oder-Neisse line , Hungary and the Sudetenland found a new home.
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the Mergentheim district belonged to the administrative district of North Württemberg . As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed in one case. On January 1, 1972, the municipality of Deubach was incorporated into the city of Königshofen (today Lauda-Königshofen ) and thus became part of the Tauberbischofsheim district .
Dissolution of the district
With effect from January 1, 1973, the Mergentheim district was dissolved as part of the Baden-Württemberg district reform. Its communities were assigned to the newly formed Tauberkreis , which thus became the legal successor to the Mergentheim and Tauberbischofsheim districts . On January 1, 1974, the new district was given its current name Main-Tauber-Kreis .

There was no federal motorway running through the district (the A 81 did not exist in this section at the time). Therefore, it was only opened up by federal highways 19 and 290 as well as several state and district roads.
Communities
From 1938 onwards, there were initially 51 municipalities in the Mergentheim 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 Mergentheim district was made on January 1, 1972 by several communities that united with their larger neighboring communities, including Althausen, Apfelbach, Löffelstelzen, Markelsheim and Neunkirchen with the city of Bad Mergentheim . In the following years, the number of municipalities decreased steadily until the district Mergentheim finally on 1 January 1973 in the Main-Tauber-Kreis (initially called Tauber district ) came up.
The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Bad Mergentheim , while Simmringen was the smallest.
In the table, the municipalities of the Mergentheim district are before the municipal reform. Today they all belong to the Main-Tauber district. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
