The district of Ulm was a district in Baden-Württemberg , which was dissolved in the course of the district reform on January 1, 1973 .
geography
location
The district of Ulm was in the east of Baden-Württemberg on the border with Bavaria .
Geographically, it had a share in the Swabian Alb and the northern Alpine foothills. The Danube flowed through the district from west to east. The district seat of Ulm was in the southeast of the district, but was not itself part of it.
Neighboring areas
Its neighboring districts were Günzburg , Neu-Ulm , Illertissen (all in Bavaria) and Biberach , Ehingen , Münsingen , Göppingen and Heidenheim in a clockwise direction beginning in 1972 .
history
Before 1800 the area of the district of Ulm belonged mainly to the imperial city of Ulm. After its transfer to Württemberg , the Oberamt Ulm was formed in 1806 , which in 1810 belonged to the Landvogtei on the Alb and from 1818 to the Danube District . In 1924 the Danube District was dissolved and in 1934 the Ulm Oberamt was renamed the Ulm District. In 1938 the Ulm district was combined with most of the Blaubeuren district and some places in the Geislingen district to form the Ulm district. Ulm became the seat of the district, but it became an independent city . In 1945 the district of Ulm became part of the newly formed state of Württemberg-Baden , which was merged into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 . From then on he belonged to the administrative region of North Württemberg, which included the Württemberg part of Württemberg-Baden.
With effect from January 1, 1973, the Ulm district was combined with most of the Ehingen district and some communities in the Biberach and Münsingen districts to form the new Alb-Danube district , which became the legal successor to the Ulm district. The municipalities of Waldhausen and Türkheim had already been incorporated into the city of Geislingen an der Steige in 1971 and 1972, respectively , and thus already belonged to the Göppingen district. Another nine communities in the former Ulm district were incorporated into the Ulm district between 1971 and 1975 .

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Ulm showed a double-headed black eagle in silver, covered with a split breast shield: in the front three black stag poles lying on top of each other in gold, at the back divided diagonally by red and silver. The coat of arms was awarded to the district of Ulm on May 24, 1954 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior . The new Alb-Danube district also adopted this coat of arms. It was re-awarded to him on November 5, 1975.
The imperial eagle stands for the formerly free imperial city of Ulm, the Württemberg stag sticks for the old Württemberg communities or the communities that came to Württemberg after 1803 and the red-silver stripes for the coat of arms of the margraves of Burgau or their relatives, the counts of Berg von which the coats of arms of the cities of Ehingen and Schelklingen are derived or which was also part of the old Ehingen district coat of arms.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The federal autobahn 8 and the federal highways 10 , 28 and 30 , as well as several state and district roads , ran through the district .
Communities
From 1938 onwards, 82 communities, including 3 towns, belonged to the district of Ulm. Since 1905 two municipalities of the Oberamt Ulm, namely Söflingen (1905) and Grimmelfingen (1926) had been incorporated into Ulm.
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 Ulm was made on January 1, 1971 by the Dorndorf community , which was incorporated into the Illerrieden community . In the period that followed, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the district of Ulm was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the city of Langenau . The smallest community was Radelstetten.
In the table, the municipalities of the Ulm district are before the municipal reform. Today all communities belong to the Alb-Danube district or the city district of Ulm . Türkheim and Waldhausen moved to the district of Göppingen even before the district reform , because they were incorporated into the town of Geislingen an der Steige on January 1, 1971 (Türkheim) and March 1, 1972 (Waldhausen), respectively.
The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive UL mark when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is still issued in the Alb-Donau district and in the city of Ulm.
Until the 1990s, vehicles from the old district of Ehingen received license plates with the letter pairs PA to ZZ and the numbers from 100 to 999.
