history

Oberamt Waldsee, territorial status 1813, with the previous rulership
boundaries legend

In 1805, the area around Waldsee, one of the five so-called Danube cities that had previously belonged to Austria, was ceded to Württemberg in the Pressburg Peace Treaty. In the following year both the possessions of the princes of Waldburg and those areas that had belonged to the Upper Swabian imperial monasteries up to the secularization of 1802 came under the Rheinbundakt . In 1808, the Oberamt Waldsee, which was formed as a result, was subordinate to the patrimonial offices of Gutenzell, Königsegg-Aulendorf, Ochsenhausen, Rot, Schussenried, Tannheim, Waldburg-Waldsee, -Wolfegg and -Wurzach, the limits of which reflected the previous rule. The northern part of the district was spun off as Oberamt Ochsenhausen in 1809, then assigned to the Oberamt Biberach, the eastern part in 1810 transferred to the newly formed Oberamt Leutkirch. Neighbors of the district assigned to the Danube District from 1818 to 1924 were the Württemberg regional offices of Saulgau , Ravensburg , Wangen , Leutkirch , Riedlingen and Biberach .

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:

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Schussenried fell to the Count of Sternberg-Manderscheid , while the majority of Ochsenhausen fell to the Count of Metternich-Winneburg.

Changes in the community since 1813

Parishes and marks around 1860

The local administrative structure initially largely followed the previous rule limits. Around 1820 the Oberamt had 26 municipalities.

In 1823 Tannhausen was separated from Aulendorf and made an independent municipality, as was Winterstettendorf, which had previously belonged to Bergatreute.

In 1824 Eintürnen was separated from Wolfegg and made an independent municipality. The two communities of Ober- and Unteressendorf emerged from the Essendorf mayor's workshop. The new community of Ziegelbach was formed from parts of the communities of Haidgau and Wolfegg.

In 1827 Steinhausen was incorporated into Schussenried.

In 1831 the following were changed: Bainders from Bergatreute to Wolfegg, Atzenreute from Steinach to Bergatreute, Haslach and Michelberg from Reute to Tannhausen and Michelwinnaden. Friedlings, Menzlis, Oberschwarzach and Ziegolz were reassigned from Dietmanns to Unterschwarzach, but came back to Dietmanns in 1835.

The law of 6 July 1842 on the amendment to the delimitation of the Oberamtsbezirke affected the Oberamt Waldsee several times: The municipality of Reichenbach and the town of Musbach (previously part of Aulendorf, now raised to an independent municipality) had to go to the Oberamt Saulgau, the municipality of Stafflangen Submit Oberamt Biberach. The community of Schindelbach (previously Oberamt Saulgau) and the places Eintürnenberg (from Immenried, Oberamt Wangen, reunited to Eintürnen), Ebisweiler and Laubbronnen (both from Geigelbach, Oberamt Saulgau, reunited to Aulendorf) were added. The Steegen marker, previously near Schindelbach, was also assigned to the Aulendorf community. In the same year Steinhausen was raised again to an independent municipality.

In 1847 Gaisbeuren was separated from Bergatreute and raised to the status of an independent municipality.

In 1862 the Giras, Tal and Witschwende markings were changed from Wolfegg to Bergatreute.

In 1909 the community of Schindelbach changed its name to Zollenreute .

In 1933 Buch was transferred from Steinach to Mühlhausen, Ziegolz from Dietmanns to Unterschwarzach.

In 1934 Steinach was incorporated into Waldsee.

In 1935 Hummertsried was incorporated into Mühlhausen.
