About this picture
Service building district office Neu-Ulm

The district of Neu-Ulm is located in the west of the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia . It is part of the Danube-Iller region . The seat of the district office is in Neu-Ulm .

geography

location

The district extends largely in the Alpine foothills east of the Iller south of the Danube , only the municipality of Elchingen lies north on the edge of the Swabian Alb . The district area extends over the so-called "Iller-Lech-Platte", a gravel area that slopes down to the Iller in the west and to the Danube in the north. In the south, the district rises to heights of up to 610 m.

Neighboring areas

The district borders in a clockwise direction in the northeast on the districts of Günzburg and Unterallgäu (both in Bavaria) as well as on the district of Biberach , the Alb-Danube district and the urban district of Ulm (all in Baden-Württemberg ).

history

Regional courts

In 1804 the district courts Illertissen and Roggenburg were established. They belonged to the Illerkreis of the Kingdom of Bavaria , from 1817 to the Oberdonaukreis , which was renamed Swabia and Neuburg in 1838 , later Swabia. In 1842 the Neu-Ulm Regional Court was established from parts of the Günzburg Regional Court and a municipality from the Illertissen Regional Court. In 1852 the Babenhausen district court was established from the court of the same name.

District Offices

In 1862 the three district courts Illertissen, Roggenburg and Babenhausen formed the district office Illertissen, whereby the seat of the district court Roggenburg was relocated to Weißenhorn with some municipalities transferred to the district office Krumbach. The district office of the same name was formed from the Neu-Ulm district court in 1862.

On January 1, 1880, areas in the Weißenhorn area of ​​the Illertissen district office were assigned to the Neu-Ulm district office. Illertissen also gave some places to the Krumbach and Memmingen district offices .

On March 1, 1891, the city of Neu-Ulm left the district office and became a city ​​directly within the district .

On January 1, 1908, the district office ceded the Offenhausen community to the city of Neu-Ulm.

Counties

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . The district offices became the districts of Illertissen and Neu-Ulm. District Administrator Friedrich Schreck experienced the transition in Neu-Ulm . On April 1, 1940, the city of Neu-Ulm was incorporated into the Neu-Ulm district, but this was reversed on April 1, 1948.

District of Neu-Ulm

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the district of Neu-Ulm, the majority of the district of Illertissen and the independent city of Neu-Ulm were merged to form a new district on July 1, 1972 . This was initially called Illerkreis , like the historical administrative district of the Kingdom of Bavaria, but covered a different area. The southern communities of the Illertissen district around Babenhausen were assigned to the Unterallgäu district. On May 1, 1973, the new Illerkreis was renamed the Neu-Ulm district . The city of Neu-Ulm received the status of a large district town for the loss of district freedom .

On January 1, 1978, the communities Ettlishofen and Silheim moved from the Neu-Ulm district to the Günzburg district, where they were incorporated into the Bibertal community . On the same day, the communities of Bebenhausen and Kettershausen also moved from the Neu-Ulm district to the Unterallgäu district.

With a resolution of July 26, 2017, the city council of Neu-Ulm initiated the withdrawal of the city from the district and thus the restoration of the freedom of the district. This process was already referred to in the media as nuxit in advance , based on the word creations Grexit and Brexit .

Population development

The district of Neu-Ulm gained over 22,000 inhabitants between 1988 and 2008 or grew by around 16%. Between 1988 and 2018 the district grew from 142,438 to 174,200 by 31,762 inhabitants or 22.3%.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the district of Neu-Ulm
 Blazon : "Above a red shield base, inside a horizontal, gold-studded, silver horn, divided five times to the left diagonally by red and silver, covered with a black-clad and gold-crowned moor growing out of the dividing line, who holds a golden bishop's cap in her hands."
Justification of the coat of arms: The three parts of the coat of arms represent the count families who ruled over significant parts of today's district in the Middle Ages. The Mohrin is reminiscent of the Counts of Kirchberg. Some places in the Illertal were subordinate to them. The red diagonal bars stand for the Counts of Berg , who ruled in the eastern part of the district (around Pfaffenhofen). The Hifthorn is reminiscent of the Lords of Neuffen , to whom Weißenhorn and Buch were subordinate. The coat of arms figure here has black skin color.

District partnerships

The district maintains partnerships with the market town of Prad am Stilfserjoch in Italy and the district of Mansfelder Land in Saxony-Anhalt .

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

rail

As early as 1853, the district town was the terminus of the route from Augsburg opened by the Bavarian State Railways , which was extended over the Danube to Ulm the following year . The next train station with an hourly ICE stop is Ulm Hauptbahnhof . An ICE has also stopped in Neu-Ulm since the end of 2017.

In 1862 the Illertalbahn was added to Memmingen , which leads south from Neu-Ulm via Illertissen and Kellmünz. Two local railway lines of the Bavarian State Railway branched off from it, from 1878 the line Senden – Weißenhorn and from 1894 the line Kellmünz – Babenhausen . The two local railways were closed for passenger traffic after the Second World War. In 1964 the line from Kellmünz to Babenhausen lost its passenger traffic, in 1966 the line from Senden to Weißenhorn . While the Babenhausen line also lost freight traffic in the 1990s and was then shut down and dismantled, the Weißenhorn Railway kept its freight traffic. On December 15, 2013 it was reactivated for passenger traffic, since then direct trains have been running every hour between Weißenhorn and Ulm.

The municipality of Elchingen is located on the Brenz Railway from Ulm to Aalen, which opened north of the Danube in 1876 . From 1897 to 1945 Neu-Ulm was connected to the neighboring city of Ulm by an electric tram .

Street

The district is framed by the A 8 to the north and the A 7 to the west . Thus there is a good motorway connection in the whole district.

Bicycle traffic

The signposted Iller cycle path as a tourist offer for cyclists runs through the district on the western edge from south to north. The Danube Cycle Path runs as a European long-distance cycle path in the north of the district.

economy

In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Neu-Ulm district was ranked 84th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the places with "high future opportunities". In the 2019 edition, it was ranked 125th out of 401.

While the southern district of Neu-Ulm has a more rural structure, in the north and along the Iller to Illertissen there is a large number of companies, some of which operate internationally. The largest employers in the district are Wieland-Werke AG in Vöhringen, EvoBus GmbH , which belongs to Daimler AG, in Neu-Ulm and Bosch Rexroth in Elchingen. The world market leader in building formwork and scaffolding, Peri GmbH in Weißenhorn, is also worth mentioning . Due to the proximity to the Elchinger Kreuz, where the A7 and A8 motorways intersect, the Neu-Ulm area is the center for logistics and forwarding. According to its own statement, the largest furniture store in Europe, Inhofer, is located in Senden / Iller.

In the center of the southern district, Illertissen , the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and the specialty chemicals manufacturer BASF Personal Care and Nutrition GmbH are the largest employers.

In recent years there has been increasing attempt to promote the catering and accommodation industry, which is favored by its proximity to tourist attractions (e.g. Legoland Günzburg, city of Ulm, tourist regions Allgäu and Lake Constance).

In October 2018, the unemployment rate in the Neu-Ulm district was 1.9%.
