Pegnitz district
The Pegnitz district with the capital Nuremberg was one of the districts of the Kingdom of Bavaria founded in 1806 .
From 1806 to 1808 the Kingdom of Bavaria was divided into 15 (state) districts, the names of which were based on rivers: Mainkreis ( Bamberg ), Pegnitzkreis ( Nuremberg ), Rezatkreis ( Ansbach ), Nabkreis ( Amberg ), Regenkreis ( Regensburg and Straubing) ), Altmühlkreis ( Eichstätt ), Oberdonaukreis ( Ulm ), Lechkreis ( Augsburg ), Isarkkreis (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 Pegnitzkreis comprised nine regional courts and, since 1809, the cities of Nuremberg, Fürth and Schwabach, which are directly in the district. Already in 1810 he was again dissolved. Almost all of his area was assigned to the Rezatkreis , only the District Court of Pottenstein was assigned to the Mainkreis .
