history

Oberamt Leutkirch, territorial status 1813, with the earlier rulership
boundaries legend

Leutkirch lost its position as an imperial city in 1802 and was initially added to the Duchy of Bavaria at the Imperial Deputation Main Council. The areas of the secularized former imperial abbeys were left as compensation to aristocratic houses that had owned territories in the area on the left bank of the Rhine that fell to France. The Prince of Nassau-Orange received the goods of the Weingarten monastery, the Count of Wartemberg those of the Reichsabbey Rot an der Rot and the Count of Schäsberg the office of Tannheim of the Reichsabbey Ochsenhausen .

In the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Württemberg was granted the territories ceded by Austria to the Landvogtei Altdorf and, under the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806, sovereignty over the previously independent aristocratic lords. The Altdorf and Waldsee administrative offices were set up to manage the new acquisitions. In 1810, the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg finally established the common border in the Paris Treaty, with Leutkirch falling to Württemberg, among other things. In the same year, the Oberamt Leutkirch was formed, which extended from Waltershofen in the southwest to Kirchdorf an der Iller in the northeast. Neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Danube District from 1818 to 1924, were the Württemberg regional authorities of Waldsee , Wangen and Biberach and the Bavarian regional courts of Grönenbach , Ottobeuren and Illertissen .

Changes in the community since 1813

Parishes and marks around 1860

The local administrative structure was initially based on the former rule limits. Around 1820 the Oberamt had 20 municipalities. By 1828, Gospoldshofen, Oberopfingen and Spindelwag also became independent.

In 1842 the two communities Friesenhofen and Winterstetten were assigned to the Oberamt Leutkirch by the Oberamt Wangen . This increased the number of municipalities to 25.

In 1932 the following were changed: Schöllhorn from Spindelwag to Hauerz, Talacker from Hauerz to Seibranz, Häberlings from Aitrach to Altmannshofen.

In 1933, Breitenbach and Rieden were reassigned from Aitrach to Aichstetten .
