The district is an established administrative unit with long roots in its region. In 2015, the town of Rohrbach merged with Berg bei Rohrbach, marking a significant administrative change for the area.

The communities here maintain strong agricultural traditions that shape everyday life. Local markets and festivals regularly celebrate regional farming products and show how farming remains central to the area.
