history
Between 1806 and 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 ), 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 Regenkreis initially comprised 13 regional courts and, since 1809, the district-direct city of Straubing. In 1810 it was enlarged considerably, including by the Principality of Regensburg . Thereafter Regensburg became the seat of the General District Commissioner. The Regenkreis also gave areas to the Unterdonaukreis . During the territorial reform initiated by King Ludwig I on November 29, 1837, the name was changed to the districts of Upper Palatinate and Regensburg , today Upper Palatinate.
