history

Oberamt Ellwangen, territorial status 1813, with the earlier rule and office boundaries
legend

In anticipation of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Württemberg took possession of the territory of the prince provost of Ellwangen in September 1802 . The Oberamt Ellwangen was formed from its northern part. In 1806 former German order or knightly places were added. In 1810 the district experienced an expansion to the east after the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg had finally determined the common border in the Paris Treaty. The Oberamt, which was assigned to the Jagstkreis from 1818 to 1924, bordered the Württemberg Oberamt Aalen , Neresheim , Crailsheim , Gaildorf and the Kingdom of Bavaria .
