Oberamt Ladenburg

The Oberamt Ladenburg was from 1705 an administrative district of the Electoral Palatinate with its seat in Ladenburg . After the electoral Palatinate was dissolved in 1802, Ladenburg became the seat of a Baden district office .

In 1705 the brothers Elector Johann Wilhelm and Bishop Franz Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg agreed on a larger area of land exchange between the diocese of Worms and the Electoral Palatinate. Ladenburg and Neckarhausen fell to the Electoral Palatinate, which set up an Oberamt Ladenburg with the city of Ladenburg as its seat.

In 1784 the small Electoral Palatinate Oberamt, whose places were in Lobdengau , in the Odenwald and on Bergstrasse , had 4841 inhabitants, including 15 Jewish families . After the electoral Palatinate was dissolved in 1802, the Baden office of Ladenburg was created.
