history

The district of Reutlingen goes back to the Württemberg Oberamt Reutlingen , which was established after the transition of the formerly free imperial city of Reutlingen to Württemberg in 1802. Already existed in what is now the district of Württemberg offices Urach , Münsingen and Pfullingen , Pfullingen which was dissolved already 1818th The remaining three senior offices have been changed several times throughout history. From 1810 they belonged to the Landvogtei on the Alb, from 1818 to the Black Forest district (Reutlingen and Urach) and the Danube district (Münsingen). In 1924 both districts were dissolved and in 1934 the three higher offices were renamed as rural districts. In 1938 the district of Urach was abolished and its area was divided between the districts of Reutlingen and Münsingen .

In the district reform the district of Reutlingen was enlarged on 1 January 1973 by most communities of the dissolved district Münsingen (the other came to the Alb-Donau ), three municipalities in the district of Tübingen , the community Upflamör the district Saulgau , the community Steinhilben of the district of Sigmaringen and the municipality of Grafenberg of the district of Nürtingen were added. In return, he gave the municipality of Bronnen to the district of Sigmaringen and the municipality of Gomaringen to the district of Tübingen.

Before that, the communities Sirchingen and Wittlingen were taken over from the Münsingen district on April 1, 1971 and incorporated into the city of Bad Urach . On January 1, 1972, the town of Trochtelfingen from the Sigmaringen district was added. The municipality of Hengen from the Münsingen district followed to enlarge the city of Bad Urach on December 1, 1972.

The Hörschwag community moved to the Zollernalb district on July 1, 1974 .

After the community reform has been completed, the Reutlingen district still comprises 26 communities and the community-free manor district of Münsingen . Among the 26 municipalities there are seven towns and of these two large district towns ( Metzingen and Reutlingen). The largest city in the district and the youngest city in Baden-Württemberg is Reutlingen, the smallest municipality (without the Münsingen manor district) is Mehrstetten .

On January 1, 2011, the Münsingen manor district was reduced to include its inhabited areas. The place Breithülen came to the Heroldstatt community in the Alb-Donau district .

The district councils of the district Reutlingen from 1935:

coat of arms

The coat of arms was awarded on August 26, 1980 by the Tübingen regional council.

Description : “In green two golden oblique bars, each accompanied by two small six-pointed golden stars; between the inclined beams three larger six-pointed golden stars. "

The circle flag in the colors yellow-green (gold-green) was awarded on October 27, 1988.

The former Reutlingen district did not have a coat of arms. From 1939 he only used the three stag sticks from Württemberg in his seals.

The new Reutlingen district was formed in 1973 from most of the former districts of Münsingen and Reutlingen, as well as fragments of the former districts of Sigmaringen, Tübingen, Saulgau, Hechingen and Nürtingen. He opted for the coat of arms, which in late medieval heraldic books represents the Counts of Achalm, who died out in the pre-aldic period (1098). Since members of this family founded the Zwiefalten monastery, it was used as the donor's coat of arms in the seals and coats of arms of this abbey. Achalm's sphere of influence extended from the vast area around its ancestral castle in the northwest to Zwiefalten in the southeast and thus covered most of today's district area. The circle coat of arms is based on the oldest known representation of the apocryphal Akhalm shield image in the "Stuttgart Wappenbuch" (1439/50),

Municipalities before the district reform

Before the district reform in 1973 or before the community reform , the (old) district of Reutlingen had a total of 37 communities from 1938 , including 4 towns . In addition to the actual main area, the district area included an exclave in the south consisting of the three communities Bronnen, Hausen an der Lauchert and Mägerkingen. Between the two parts were the municipalities of the districts of Hechingen and Sigmaringen .

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 Reutlingen was made on January 1, 1971 by the communities of Bronnweiler, Gönningen, Oferdingen and Reicheneck, which were incorporated into the city of Reutlingen . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased. The remaining municipalities of the old Reutlingen district merged into the newly enlarged Reutlingen district on January 1, 1973 , only Gomaringen came to the Tübingen district and Bronnen came to the Sigmaringen district .

The largest municipality in the old Reutlingen district was the district town of Reutlingen , which has been a major district town since April 1, 1956 . The smallest community was Ohnastetten.

The old district of Reutlingen last covered an area of ​​442 km² and had a total of 189,569 inhabitants at the 1970 census .

The table shows the population development of the old Reutlingen district up to 1970. All population figures are census results.
