geography
location
The district of Offenburg was in the west of Baden-Württemberg .
Geographically, the district of Offenburg predominantly had a share in the Upper Rhine Plain and the Black Forest . The district town was in the west of the district.
Neighboring areas
Its neighboring districts were in 1972 clockwise starting in the north Bühl , Freudenstadt , Wolfach , Lahr and Kehl .
history
Most of the later district of Offenburg belonged to the diocese of Strasbourg and the Free Imperial Cities of Offenburg and Gengenbach before 1800. In 1803 the area came to Baden , which initially formed several offices , including the offices and district offices of Offenburg, Gengenbach and Oberkirch , which belonged to the regional commissioner district of Freiburg . In 1872 the Gengenbach District Office was dissolved and its communities were assigned to the Offenburg District Office. In 1936 the Oberkirch district office was also dissolved and its communities assigned to the Offenburg district office. For this, the Offenburg District Office gave some communities to the Kehl District Office. Like all Baden district offices, the District Office Offenburg was given the designation Landkreis Offenburg in 1939 on the basis of the “ Law on District Self-Administration” .
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Offenburg belonged to the administrative district of South Baden . As a result of the municipal reform in 1970, the district area changed on December 1, 1971, when the municipality of Nesselried merged with the municipality of Appenweier and as a result belonged to the Kehl district . With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Offenburg was dissolved. His remaining communities were completely absorbed in the newly formed Ortenaukreis , which thus became the legal successor to the Offenburg district.

coat of arms
In silver a red armored and red tongued black double-headed eagle with a gold breast shield; in it the silver armored St. George on a black horse with a red saddlecloth, killing a green dragon with a lance . The coat of arms was awarded on October 11, 1962. Today's Ortenaukreis adopted this coat of arms. It was re-awarded to him on August 31, 1973.
The coat of arms is linked to the coat of arms of the canton of Ortenau of the imperial knighthood. The eagle also stands for the formerly free imperial cities of Offenburg, Gengenbach and Zell am Harmersbach as well as for the Upper Austrian Reichslandvogtei Ortenau, before the territories fell to Baden in 1805.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The federal motorway 5 Karlsruhe – Basel ran through the district area from north to south . The federal highways 3 , 28 and 33 also ran through the district.
Communities
From 1938 onwards, there were initially four towns and 42 communities in the Offenburg district.
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 Offenburg was made on January 1st, 1971 by several municipalities that united with their neighboring municipalities. Butschbach united with the city of Oberkirch and Fessenbach and Zell-Weierbach united with the city of Offenburg. In the period that followed, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the Offenburg district was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the large district town of Offenburg . The smallest community was Ringelbach.
In the table, the municipalities of the district of Offenburg are before the municipal reform. All today's communities belong to the Ortenaukreis. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive OG sign when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is issued in the Ortenaukreis until today.
