Altensteig

Altensteig was most likely given town rights by the Counts of Hohenberg around the middle of the 14th century. In 1398, the town became a possession of the Margraviate of Baden and then of the Duchy of Württemberg in 1603. Altensteig was made the seat of its own district, which was reorganized in 1808 as Oberamt Altensteig, which was dissolved two years later and resulted in Altensteig being assigned to Oberamt Nagold. That district, too, was dissolved in 1938 and Altensteig was assigned to the newly-organized Landkreis Calw.
