history

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

With the acquisition of the helpline rule in 1448, Count Ulrich from Württemberg attempted to expand his sphere of influence considerably to the east. In the First Margrave War Ulrich fought alongside the Ansbach Margrave Albrecht Achilles against the Swabian and Franconian imperial cities. Financially stricken, he had to sell the rule, devastated by the city troops, to his brother-in-law Ludwig von Bayern-Landshut as early as 1450 . When the brothers-in-law were hostile to each other in the Imperial War against Ludwig in 1462, Heidenheim was temporarily occupied by Württemberg, but remained with Bavaria. In the Landshut War of Succession , Bavaria-Munich allied itself with Württemberg, which received the rule of Hellenstein in 1504. With the territory, which was incorporated into the administrative structure of the duchy as the Heidenheim office, the umbrella bailiwick was also connected via the monasteries of Königsbronn, Anhausen and Herbrechtingen. In the course of the Reformation, the monasteries were closed in the middle of the 16th century and their possessions were subsequently administered as monastery offices. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the office, from 1758 Oberamt, Heidenheim together with the three monastery offices formed a Württemberg exclave.

In 1802 Württemberg took possession of the imperial city of Giengen and set up a senior office there, which in 1806 was also assigned some old Württemberg towns. However, the Oberamt Giengen was abolished again in 1808 and, like the monastery offices before, incorporated into the Oberamt Heidenheim. Neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Jagstkreis from 1818 to 1924, were the Wuerttemberg regional offices of Neresheim , Aalen , Gmünd , Geislingen and Ulm as well as the Bavarian Oberdonaukreis , from 1837 the district of Swabia and Neuburg , with the regional courts of Günzburg and Lauingen.
