Map of the Württemberg upper offices, as of 1926

The Oberamt Reutlingen was a Württemberg administrative district established in 1803 (on attached map # 43) , which was renamed the Reutlingen district in 1934 and enlarged in 1938 to include the main part of the Urach district and some communities in the Tübingen district to form the Reutlingen district .

geography

The middle of the 19th century about 265 km² large district had part of the Swabian Alb and its foreland. The boundary between the two natural spaces, the approximately 300 meter high Alb eaves built up from several levels , has a defining effect on the landscape . Between Eninger Gutenberg and Gönninger Roßberg , the erosion activity of the Echaz and its side streams created frayed step edges with mountain peninsulas and outcroppings. Upstream are the Achalm as a witness mountain and the Georgenberg , a plug mountain of the Swabian volcano . The state road (today's B 312 ) with the Honauer Steige, built in 1820 , led through the densely populated Echaztal, the industrial core zone of the Oberamt, to the Alb. The European watershed runs over the completely karstified Mittlere Kuppenalb to the south of the Albtrauf . The southern part of the area, including an exclave that takes up about a tenth of the total area and is enclosed by the Hohenzollern area, drains the Lauchert and its tributaries Erpf and Seckach towards the Danube .

Neighbors were the Württemberg regional authorities Urach , Münsingen , Tübingen , Rottenburg and the Hohenzollern principalities of Hechingen and Sigmaringen (Prussian administrative district Sigmaringen since 1850 ).

history

Oberamt Reutlingen, area status 1813, with the former rule and office boundaries

The Oberamt was established in 1803 after Württemberg had taken possession of the imperial city of Reutlingen . The former Königsbronn nursing yard (today Heimatmuseum, Oberamteistr. 22) served as the administrative building. More places were added in several steps until 1810, see below .

Former gentlemen

The components of the Oberamt belonged to the following rulers in 1800:

  • Duchy of Württemberg
Most of the old Württemberg places belonged to the secular Oberamt Urach (Unteramt Willmandingen) and Pfullingen. Genkingen was subordinate to the Pfullingen monastery office. The places acquired only after the Reformation belonged to the Rentkammer (Großengstingen, was co-administered by the Pfullingen Office) or to the Kammerschreibereigut (Gomaringen).
  • Imperial city of Reutlingen
In addition to the city, the territory included the villages of Betzingen, Bronnweiler, Ohmenhausen, Stockach and Wannweil. The taking of possession by Württemberg in November 1802 received its formal confirmation with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss .
  • Mariaberg Monastery
Also in 1802 the Benedictine convent of Mariaberg , which was subordinate to the Zwiefalten monastery, was taken over with the village of Bronnen and closed in the same year.
