history

Upper office Neckarsulm, territorial status 1813, with the earlier rule and office boundaries
legend

The Upper Office Neckarsulm was established in 1806 after the Upper Neckar Office of the Teutonic Order fell to Württemberg as a result of the Rhine Confederation Act . In 1808 the places of the repealed old Württemberg office of Neuenstadt were added, while the old Württemberg area around Möckmühl was initially incorporated into the Oberamt Schöntal , which was newly established in 1803 , but after its dissolution in 1810 it was also assigned to the Oberamt Neckarsulm.

Neighbors of the district, which was part of the Neckar District from 1818 to 1924, were the Württemberg regional authorities Künzelsau , Öhringen , Weinsberg and Heilbronn , the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Hessian exclave Wimpfen .

In 1926, the Neckarsulm Regional Office comprised 34 communities with a total area of ​​295.96 km². There were 14,705 buildings within the Oberamtsbereich, including 8035 ancillary buildings. The resident population in 1925 was around 34,000.

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
    • Oberamt Möckmühl : Möckmühl, Bittelbronn , Kreßbach, Lampoldshausen, Reichertshausen, Roigheim, Siglingen, Widdern (114/512);
    • Oberamt Neuenstadt: Neuenstadt, Brettach, Cleversulzbach, Gochsen, Kochersteinsfeld.
  • German Order , Neckaroberamt
    • Neckarsulm office: Neckarsulm, Binswangen, Brambach, Dahenfeld, Erlenbach, Kochertürn;
    • Amt Horneck : Gundelsheim, Böttingen, Dornbach, Höchstberg, Tiefenbach, Bernbronn (partially, the other part of the hamlet belonged to the Electoral Palatinate and fell to Baden in 1806);
    • Heuchlingen office : Heuchlingen, Bachenau, Duttenberg, Hagenbach, Jagstfeld, Ober- and Untergriesheim, Oedheim (partially), Offenau;
    • Heilbronn office: Degmarn.

coat of arms

The official body of the Neckarsulm Office took on its own coat of arms in 1930. Its blazon reads: In a silver shield on the right three black stag poles one above the other, on the left a black Teutonic Cross .

Initially, the intention was to combine the Württemberg stag sticks with a Teutonic Cross in a split shield in order to symbolize the most important historical territories of the district with Württemberg and the Teutonic Order . Due to heraldic concerns, the Württemberg archives management recommended changes in order not to take over the Württemberg family coat of arms unchanged. The stag poles were subsequently placed on a silver base instead of a gold one, and since the Teutonic Cross also stands on a silver base, the shield was not split due to the heraldic rule of colors . The district council adopted the coat of arms in this form on April 11, 1930.

Changes in the community since 1813

Parishes and marks around 1860

In 1836, Bittelbronn was separated from Möckmühl and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1846 a state treaty concluded three years earlier between Baden and Württemberg came into force. Württemberg received the Baden share of rams and gave the places Korb and Unterkessach to Baden in return. Rossach, previously part of the municipality of Unterkessach, remained in Württemberg and was assigned to the municipality of Olnhausen. In addition, Baden renounced its share in the Falkenstein mark , which was then divided between Oedheim and Untergriesheim. The Baden-Württemberg condominium in Bernbronn remained.

In 1855 Rossach was reassigned from Olnhausen to Schöntal (Oberamt Künzelsau).

In 1933 Jagstfeld and Kochendorf were merged to form the Jagstfeld-Kochendorf community, which was named Bad Friedrichshall the following year .

1935 Binswangen were incorporated into Erlenbach and Hagenbach into Bad Friedrichshall.

In 1938 Böttingen was incorporated into Gundelsheim.
