Dillingen, Administrative division in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany.
The district spreads across the Danube River valley, encompassing 27 municipalities with Dillingen an der Donau serving as the administrative center.
The territory transformed from a medieval county ruled by counts of Dillingen into a Prince-Bishops of Augsburg domain in 1258, later joining Bavaria in 1804.
The district maintains multiple educational institutions, including the Bavarian Center for Teacher Education, which evolved from a historical university founded in 1549.
The region supports industrial development through major employers like Bosch and Siemens Household Appliances, providing manufacturing jobs to local residents.
The district contains the archaeological site of Phoebiana in Faimingen, which features remains of one of the largest Apollo temples north of the Alps.
