history

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

In the 13th century Münsingen came into the possession of the Counts of Württemberg, who subsequently elevated the place to a city and also acquired some surrounding villages, but failed in their attempt to expand their territory on the central Alb further south. Münsingen remained a small country town on the periphery of the duchy, initially belonged to the Urach office and was designated the administrative seat of its own, comparatively small administrative district in 1654.

In anticipation of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Württemberg took possession of the Zwiefalten monastery in 1802 and set up an upper office there, to which in 1806 the former Fürstenberg and knightly places in the area that had been added as a result of the Rheinbund act were assigned. In 1810, the Oberamt Zwiefalten was dissolved and largely incorporated into the Oberamt Münsingen, which had already received growth in the form of the Unterämter Laichingen, Steingebronn (both previously at the Oberamt Urach) and Justingen (formerly Rentkammer, then temporarily at the Oberamt Ehingen).

After the reorganization, the districts of Riedlingen , Ehingen , Urach , Blaubeuren , Reutlingen and Geislingen as well as the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (from 1850 Prussian administrative district Sigmaringen ) were neighbors of the district, which was assigned to the Danube District from 1818 to 1924 .

Changes in the community since 1813

Parishes and marks around 1860

In the late absolutist state of King Friedrich , the local self-government of the old Württemberg style no longer played a role. The local authorities, known as mayors , were merely the executive organs of an all-powerful central authority. While in the old Württemberg part of the Oberamt the external form - the municipality division - was linked to the traditions, in the newly acquired areas an appropriate structure first had to be found. In 1815 the mayor's warehouses Aichelau, Baach, Bremelau, Emeringen, Hayingen, Huldstetten, Oberstetten, Schülzburg and Tigerfeld existed there. After the constitution of 1819 and the administrative edict of 1822 had restored and strengthened municipal autonomy, the municipalities constituted themselves as corporations. A series of evacuation and reorganization led to the situation shown in the table until 1825.

In 1826, Goßenzugen was separated from Zwiefalten and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1829 Pfronstetten was separated from Aichstetten and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1830 Oberwilzingen was incorporated into Hayingen.

In 1834 Steingebronn, which had been incorporated into Dottingen in 1822, was raised again to an independent municipality.

In 1849 Geisingen was separated from Huldstetten and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1850, Maßhalderbuch was reassigned from Oberstetten to Ödenwaldstetten.

1938 Baach and Goßenzugen were incorporated into Zwiefalten.
