History

[edit]

The village of Aichhalden was acquired in 1345 by the County of Württemberg and was assigned to the district of Neuweiler, then to that of Calw in the early 16th century. Simmersfeld, Beuren, and Ettmannsweiler were manorial estates of the township of Altensteig, which became a possession of the now-Duchy of Württemberg in 1603 and made the seat of its own district. Fünfbronn came into Württemberger possession in the around 1464 after buying its independence from All Saints' Abbey and was assigned to the district of Neuenbürg. In the first decade of the 19th century, the administrative structure of the newly created Kingdom of Württemberg was reformed and its districts recreated as Oberämter; Neuweiler was made an Oberamt in 1808, but then in 1810 dissolved, resulting in Simmersfeld, Beuren, and Ettmannsweiler being assigned to Oberamt Nagold [de]. Fünfbronn was reassigned from Oberamt Neuenbürg [de] in 1806 to Oberamt Calw [de], then to Oberamt Nagold in 1812.
