geography
location
The district of Mosbach was in the north of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, he had a share in the Odenwald and northeastern Kraichgau . The district town of Mosbach was roughly in the middle of the district.
Neighboring areas
Its neighbors were the districts of Buchen , Heilbronn , Sinsheim and Heidelberg in 1972, starting clockwise in the north .
history
Before 1803 the area of the district of Mosbach belonged mainly to the Electoral Palatinate ( Oberamt Mosbach ), then in 1806 it came to the Grand Duchy of Baden . The district office of Eberbach and the district offices of Neckargemünd and Mosbach were established in the later district of Mosbach , with a city office and a first and a second rural office in Mosbach until 1822, which were then merged. In 1857 the Neckargemünd office was dissolved and its communities were assigned to the Eberbach district office. After the Neckarbischofsheim district office was dissolved in 1864, the Hüffenhardt community came under the Mosbach office. When the Eberbach office was dissolved in 1924, the eastern municipalities came to the Mosbach District Office, the western to the Heidelberg District Office. In 1939, the district of Mosbach emerged from the district office of Mosbach through the law on district self-government .
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Mosbach belonged to the administrative district of North Baden . As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed in one case. On March 1, 1972, the community of Heinsheim was incorporated into the community of Bad Rappenau and thus belonged to the district of Sinsheim .
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Mosbach was dissolved. His area was mainly in the newly formed Odenwaldkreis , which became the legal successor of the Mosbach district. Some communities also came to the district of Heilbronn and one to the Rhein-Neckar district . In order to avoid confusion with the district of the same name in Hesse, the Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg was renamed “Neckar-Odenwald district” in 1974.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Mosbach showed in a divided shield, split at the bottom, a growing, red armored black eagle with a silver breast shield, in it the Latin capital letters O and M below each other; at the bottom in front of white and blue diagonally roughened, behind in red a six-spoke silver wheel. The coat of arms was awarded on January 12, 1960 by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg .
The eagle stands for the district town of Mosbach, which was a free imperial town until 1330 . The diamonds symbolize the Electoral Palatinate, to which the largest part of the district area belongs, and the wheel stands for the earlier affiliation of some communities to the ore monastery Mainz .
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The district area was not touched by any federal motorway . Therefore only federal roads, namely the B 27 , B 37 and B 292, ran through the district.
Communities
From 1938 onwards, 58 municipalities initially belonged to the district of Mosbach, including 2 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. It started with the municipality of Mörtelstein in the district of Mosbach, which merged with the municipality of Obrigheim on January 1, 1971 . After that, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the district of Mosbach was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the district town of Mosbach , while Lindach was the smallest.
In the table, the municipalities of the district of Mosbach 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 MOS when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is still issued in the Neckar-Odenwald district to this day.
