legend

Although large parts of the region between the centers of Stuttgart and Heilbronn had belonged to Württemberg long before 1800, the area did not form a historical unit. The small towns of Bietigheim and Lauffen , which became part of Württemberg in the 14th century, and Besigheim in Baden until 1595 each functioned as the administrative center of a separate office. The acquisition of the former Electoral Mainz town of Bönnigheim rounded off the Württemberg property in 1785, so that the upheavals of the Napoleonic era brought only a small increase in the area. The administrative reform begun in 1806 merged the Oberamt Besigheim, Bietigheim, Bönnigheim and Lauffen, which each comprised only a few localities, as well as some smaller components to form the new Oberamt Besigheim. It bordered the Oberämter Heilbronn , Marbach , Ludwigsburg , Vaihingen and Brackenheim . From 1810 it was subordinate to the Landvogtei an der Enz , from 1818 to 1924 it belonged to the Neckar district .

In 1926 the area of ​​the Oberamt Besigheim comprised 19 municipalities with a total area of ​​167.49 km². There were 14,639 buildings within the Oberamtsbereich, including 6,929 ancillary buildings. The resident population in 1925 was around 39,500.

After the Besigheim district was dissolved in 1938, almost all towns and communities came to the Ludwigsburg district , only the city of Lauffen am Neckar and the communities of Ilsfeld, Neckarwestheim and Schozach went to the Heilbronn district . The court of the Oberamt, today's Besigheim District Court , has remained in place to this day.
