history

The administrative district of Stuttgart has existed in its current boundaries since 1973, the former administrative district of North Württemberg was established when the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg was formed in 1952. Its authority, the regional council, has since then been mainly responsible for the northern part of the former state of Württemberg and the Württemberg part of the state of Württemberg-Baden (capital Stuttgart), which emerged from the American occupation zone after the Second World War . The administrative district was therefore initially called the administrative region of North Württemberg. During the territorial reform, which came into force on January 1, 1973, the area of responsibility of the regional council of Stuttgart was expanded to include former Baden areas in the north. In return, areas were transferred to the jurisdiction of the regional councils of Karlsruhe and Tübingen. Therefore, the administrative region of North Württemberg was renamed the administrative region of Stuttgart at the time .
