Rastatt district, Administrative district in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Rastatt district is an administrative division in Baden-Württemberg that stretches from the Rhine valley in the west to the Northern Black Forest in the east. The area comprises fifteen municipalities across 738 square kilometers with largely rural landscapes.
The district was formed in 1939 from the Oberamt Rastatt and expanded in 1973 through mergers with the district of Bühl and parts of Kehl district. These consolidations shaped the region's current administrative structure and territorial layout.
The coat of arms features a wine ladder, grapes, and a rose, telling the story of the area's viticultural tradition and the influence of the counts of Eberstein. These symbols connect the region's identity to its agricultural roots and local heritage.
The district maintains partnerships with international cities including Vantaa in Finland, Pesaro in Italy, and New Britain in Connecticut. These connections demonstrate the region's international orientation and cross-border networking across Europe and the Atlantic.
Several small territorial enclaves of the district are located within Baden-Baden and contain notable sites such as Waldenecksee lake and the former Fremersberg Abbey. These geographical peculiarities are visible remnants of the region's complex administrative history.
