history
The district of Ravensburg goes back to the Württemberg Oberamt Ravensburg , which was established after the transition of the formerly free imperial city of Ravensburg and its surrounding area to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1810. As early as 1806, the Altdorf, Isny and Waldsee offices were established. From 1810 onwards, in addition to Ravensburg, the regional offices of Leutkirch , Saulgau , Tettnang , Waldsee and Wangen also had a share in what is now the district . From 1810 the upper offices belonged to the Landvogtei on Lake Constance and from 1818 to the Danube District . The boundaries of the upper offices were changed slightly in 1842. In 1924 the Danube District was dissolved and in 1934 the upper offices were renamed to districts. In 1938 the Leutkirch and Waldsee districts were dissolved, with the majority of the Waldsee district coming to the Ravensburg district (the rest to the Biberach district ) and the majority of the Leutkirch district to the Wangen district .
During the district reform , the Ravensburg district was merged with the Wangen district on January 1, 1973. In addition, some communities in the Saulgau district and the Unterschwarzach community in the Biberach district were joined to the new Ravensburg district.
On May 1, 1973 the districts of Höhreute, Niederweiler and Tafern of the municipality of Illmensee belonging to the district of Sigmaringen were reclassified to the municipality of Wilhelmsdorf .
On January 1, 1976, the places Gensenweiler, Hagnaufurt, Hervetsweiler and Wattenweiler were separated from the city of Bad Waldsee and incorporated into the municipality of Ingoldingen in the Biberach district.
After the municipal reform has been completed, the district of Ravensburg still comprises 39 municipalities, including eight cities and of these four large district towns ( Leutkirch im Allgäu , Ravensburg , Wangen im Allgäu and Weingarten ). The largest city in the district is Ravensburg, the smallest municipality is Guggenhausen .

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 old district of Ravensburg was made on July 1, 1971 by the community of Gaisbeuren, which was incorporated into the town of Bad Waldsee . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased.
The remaining communities of the (old) district of Ravensburg went on January 1st, 1973 in the new, enlarged district of Ravensburg.
The largest municipality in the old Ravensburg district was the district town of Ravensburg , which has been a major district town since April 1, 1956 . The smallest congregation was the pledges.
