history
In early history, the area around Tuttlingen was probably located in the settlement area of the Celtic Tulingers , who from 15 BC onwards. Were subjugated and romanized by the Roman Empire . As part of the later Roman province of Upper Germany , the region lay on the Upper German-Raetian Limes on the Donausüdstraße ( via iuxta Danuvium ) until around 95 AD . At that time there was probably a fort in the area of today's Tuttlingen old town . Due to the dense settlement of the area nowadays, excavations have not been carried out so far, so that very little is known about the Tuttlingen fort . After the withdrawal of the Roman legions, the Suebi and / or Alamanni settled in the local area.
Today's district area has an eventful history of its territorial affiliation. In the Carolingian era it was the rulership of various noble families, the upper Danube z. B. the Alaholfinger or Bertholde. After the fall of the Frankish Empire in 843, the area belonged to Eastern Franconia and from around 920 to the Duchy of Swabia . After its end, in 1273 under Rudolf II , it largely became part of the Habsburg Front Austria and the Principality of Fürstenberg of the Swabian Empire .
After the Napoleonic wars, the area was mainly assigned to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 , but there were several small exclaves at Hohenzollern-Hechingen and Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , which were dissolved together in the then Prussian Hohenzollern Lands in 1849 , which were only cleared up late through the swap of territories.
The Wuerttemberg Oberamt Tuttlingen was established as early as the 15th century, which was rewritten in 1806 and changed several times afterwards. In 1842, for example, the community of Schwenningen am Neckar was given to the Oberamt Rottweil . The Oberamt Spaichingen was formed in 1806 from mostly Austrian areas . From 1810 both senior offices belonged to the Landvogtei on the upper Neckar and from 1818 to the Black Forest district , which was dissolved in 1924. In 1934 both senior offices were renamed to districts and in 1938 the district of Spaichingen was dissolved. Most of the communities came to the Tuttlingen district, some to the Balingen district .
After 1945 the district of Tuttlingen belonged to the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was added to the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. From then on, the district belonged to the administrative district of Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern .
During the district reform , the district of Tuttlingen received some Baden communities from the dissolved districts of Donaueschingen and Stockach on January 1, 1973, and the community of Bärenthal from the district of Sigmaringen ; he gave the municipality of Tuningen to the Schwarzwald-Baar district . Since then it has belonged to the Freiburg administrative district .
On June 1, 1972, the community of Eßlingen from the Donaueschingen district was added. It was incorporated into the district town of Tuttlingen .
After the community reform has been completed, the district of Tuttlingen will comprise 35 communities, including six cities, of which Tuttlingen is a major district town . The largest city is Tuttlingen, the smallest municipality is Bärenthal.

Blazon : "In a divided shield above in gold a lying black deer pole , below in blue a four-spoke golden wheel below." | |

The wheel stands for the Upper Austrian county of Hohenberg , to which Spaichingen belonged. The coat of arms shows that the district was formed in 1938 from the former Tuttlingen and Spaichingen authorities. The coat of arms was newly awarded on February 28, 1961 and after the district reform on October 12, 1973. |

Mining
In pits, peasant ore was extracted by farmers during the poor months. Analyzes of the slag from historical iron smelting show a type of small smelting furnace that has been able to smelt all ores in the area since the 13th century. Iron ore , floor ore and iron rye stone were transported to the blast furnaces of the Schwäbische Hüttenwerke in Tuttlingen. The Harras smelter was shut down in 1832. The former Hammer steelworks is now used for the regional water supply . Iron ore was mined in the Tuttlingen district until 1870, and basalt was mined on Höwenegg until 1979 . Untersteiger Bosch opened a 3.5 km long tunnel in Weilheim for the blast furnaces in Ludwigsthal, which were suffering from a shortage of ore . Restored woods are on display in the Tuttlinger Fruchtkasten. A lentil ore was mined from the 1.6 m thick seam in the macrocepal layer . Today limestone is mined in the Tuttlingen district.

The old district of Tuttlingen
Before the district reform on January 1, 1973 and before the community reform , the Tuttlingen district had a total of 37 communities since 1938 , including five towns . The municipality of Irrendorf was spatially separated from the actual district area. In between was the municipality of Bärenthal belonging to the district of 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 Tuttlingen was made on December 1, 1971 by the community of Schura, which merged with the city of Trossingen . In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased.
In 1972 the municipality of Irrendorf was renamed Irndorf.
The remaining municipalities of the old Tuttlingen district merged into the new, enlarged Tuttlingen district on January 1, 1973, with only Tuningen moving to the Schwarzwald-Baar district .
The largest municipality in the old Tuttlingen district was the city of Tuttlingen, which has been a major district town since April 1, 1956 . The smallest community was Reichenbach am Heuberg.
The old district Tuttlingen included last an area of 455 square kilometers , and had in the census in 1970 a total of 90,380 inhabitants.
