history

In 1808, the Kingdom of Bavaria was divided into 15 (state) districts, whose names - following the French model - were based on rivers: Mainkreis ( Bamberg ), Pegnitzkreis ( Nuremberg ), Rezatkreis ( Ansbach ), Nabkreis ( Amberg ), Regenkreis ( Regensburg and Straubing ), Altmühlkreis ( Eichstätt ), Oberdonaukreis (Ulm), Lechkreis ( Augsburg ), Isarkreis ( Munich ), Salzachkreis ( Burghausen ), Unterdonaukreis ( Passau ), Illerkreis ( Kempten with Vorarlberg ), Innkreis ( Innsbruck ), Eisackkreis ( Brixen and Bozen ) and Etschkreis ( Trient ). This was determined by a very high ordinance for the territorial division of the kingdom of June 21, 1808.

The Upper Danube District with the capital Ulm initially comprised 12 regional courts and since 1809 the cities of Ulm and Nördlingen, which are directly in the district. Then various rulership courts were added, so that it was considerably enlarged in 1810 . But he also gave areas to the Illerkreis and Württemberg . The seat of the General District Commissariat became Eichstätt in 1810 (from 1817 then Augsburg). During the territorial reform initiated by King Ludwig I on November 29, 1837, the name was changed to Swabia and Neuburg .
