history

Oberamt Freudenstadt, territorial status 1813, with the earlier office boundaries

Since the 14th century, the city of Dornstetten has acted as the administrative center of the Württemberg property on the eastern roof of the northern Black Forest. The wooded area on the periphery of the duchy was only sparsely populated, but due to the mining industry it had economic and strategic importance with the pass road over the Kniebis , the most important connection from Strasbourg to Stuttgart or Ulm-Augsburg. The monasteries Alpirsbach and Reichenbach , which Württemberg abolished in 1535 and 1595/1603 and incorporated into the state association as monastery offices , also played a decisive role in the development and settlement of the region . Freudenstadt , founded in 1599 by Duke Friedrich within the Dornstetter office, also became an official city, but only for a small district, which was not to change until the beginning of the 19th century.

In 1807 the Oberamt Dornstetten and the Abbey Office Reichenbach were dissolved and incorporated into the Oberamt Freudenstadt, which received further territorial growth until 1811 through parts of the offices of Altensteig and Alpirsbach, which were also canceled. Neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Black Forest District from 1818 to 1924, were then the Württemberg regional authorities Nagold , Horb , Sulz , Oberndorf and the Grand Duchy of Baden
