history

Oberamt Leonberg, territorial status 1813, with the previous rule and office boundaries

Leonberg , one of the first city foundations of the Counts of Württemberg , had been the capital of a bailiwick since the 14th century, from which the old Württemberg office, from 1758 Oberamt, Leonberg developed. The shifts that resulted from the establishment of the Ludwigsburg office in 1718 affected the Leonberg office in two places: Malmsheim received it, previously at the Böblingen office, but Weilimdorf had to hand it over to the Cannstatt office. From 1806, other places were incorporated into the Oberamt. In addition to places in old Württemberg that had previously belonged to other offices, this also affected the former imperial city of Weil der Stadt , which had its own office from 1803 to 1808.

Former gentlemen

In 1813, after the regional reform was completed, the district was made up of parts that had belonged to the following rulers in 1800:

• Duchy of Württemberg

  • Office (Mark-) Gröningen: Münchingen;
  • Cannstatt Office: Weilimdorf;
  • Herrenalb monastery office : Merklingen, Hausen;
  • Maulbronn Monastery Office : Flacht, Wimsheim;
  • Lower nobility under Württemberg sovereignty: Schöckingen, 1/2 Hemmingen, Korntal, Ihingerhof.
• Imperial city of Weil
• Margraviate of Baden
  Under the sovereignty of the state of Baden, the Obermönsheim manor, lent to the Barons of Phull-Rieppurr ( Pfuel ), stood .

In 1839 the civil parish of Perouse, previously located on Heimsheimer Markung, acquired its own territory.

In 1859 Leonberg and Eltingen signed a contract to align the mark and tax borders. Two parts of the area, together a good 450 hectares, were recruited from Eltingen to Leonberg.

In 1861 the Solitude marking was re-established from parts of the Gerlingen and Weilimdorf markings and assigned to the Gerlingen community.
