Introduction

Introduction

     Heilbronn is a district (Kreis) in the north of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Neckar-Odenwald, Hohenlohe, Schwäbisch Hall, Rems-Murr, Ludwigsburg, Enz, Karlsruhe and Rhein-Neckar. The district-free city Heilbronn is completely surrounded by the district.

     The origin of the district is the Oberamt Heilbronn, which was created in 1803 when the previously Free Imperial City of Heilbronn was incorporated into the kingdom of Württemberg.  In 1926 about half of the Oberamt (old district) of Weinsberg was added. In 1938 the it was recognized as a district, and in addition to the previous Oberamt parts of the dissolved Oberämter Neckarsulm, Brackenheim, Marbach and Besigheim were added. The city Heilbronn was not included into the district. In 1973 the districts were reorganized, and part of the dissolved districts Sinsheim, Mosbach, Buchen and Schwäbisch Hall were added. In next two years 5 municipalities were incorporated into the city and therefore left the district, which got its current borders in 1975.

      Historically Lehrensteinsfeld is comprised of the village of  Lehren first found in documents as early as 1257 and Steinsfeld was first mentioned in 1384.   By the late 14th century both villages were recognized as a common community, and were in the possession of the Lords of Weinsberg.  Later the owners of Lehrensteinsfeld changed several times.  In 1649 Field Marshal Ludwig von Schmidberg became the ruler of  Lehrensteinsfeld, and his descendents continued in this capacity until 1778.       In 1805 the town became a part of the district of Weinsberg located within the  historic territory of Württemberg until the district was dissolved in 1926.       During the 17th century many Jewish families moved into this area, and in fact filled the the empty houses vacated by the many Protestant families emigrating to America.  By 1850 about one-third of Lenrenstensfeld’s population was Jewish.  Their presence ended in 1938 and the synagoge built in the 17th century is still in ruins.
