Esslingen is a destrict (Kreis) in the centre o Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Neebourin destricts are (frae north clockwise) Rems-Murr-Kreis, Göppingen, Reutlingen, Böblingen an the destrict-free ceety Stuttgart.

History[eedit | eedit soorce]

The destrict dates back to the Oberamt Esslingen, which was created when the previously free imperial city Esslingen became part of Württemberg in 1803. After several changes over the next century, it was converted into a destrict in 1938. Additionally, it was enlarged by adding several municipalities from the neighboring Amtsoberamt Stuttgart, Oberamt Schorndorf, Kirchheim unter Teck and Göppingen.

In 1973, the destrict was merged with the destrict Nürtingen (without Grafenberg). In 1975, two municipalities from the destrict Böblingen were added to give the destrict today's borders.

Geography[eedit | eedit soorce]

The destrict is cut intae twa halves bi the river Neckar. The wast pairt is pairt o the Filder plain, while the east is pairt o the muntains o the Swabie Alb (Schwäbische Alb).
