Eichstätt

Eichstätt is an administrative district in northern Upper Bavaria, stretching across the landscape between Ingolstadt and the Franconian Jura. It forms a single administrative unit that brings together thirty municipalities, ranging from smaller villages to several larger towns.

The current administrative territory was created during the Bavarian territorial reform in the early 1970s, when several smaller districts were merged together. This reorganization aimed to establish more efficient structures and modernize local government.

The district administration operates from the city of Eichstätt, where regular municipal meetings and regional planning sessions take place throughout the year.

The district office in the city of the same name serves as the central point for administrative matters and public services. Public transport connects the main towns and villages throughout the entire district.

The economy in this district is marked by exceptionally low unemployment, among the best rates in all of Germany. Local businesses and industrial operations provide a wide range of jobs across the region.
