Gnzburg (District)Gnzburg is a district in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Dillingen, Augsburg, Unterallgu and Neu-Ulm, and by the state of Bavaria (districts Alb-Donau and Heidenheim). History In the early Middle Ages the tiny county of Burgau ruled the region. In 1213 the county was acquired by the lords of Berg; it was then known as Berg-Burgau, but the last ruler of this collateral line died in 1301, and Burgau (now raised to the level of a margravate) became an exclave of Austria. In the early 17th century the administrative seat was moved from the town of Burgau to Gnzburg, but the margravate retained its name. When the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist in 1806, the margravate was dissolved and the region was annexed by Bavaria. The district was established in 1972 by merging the former districts of Gnzburg and Krumbach. Gnzburg lost its status as a district-free city and became the administrative seat of the new district. Geography The Danube river and its tributaries characterise this district. The Danube runs through the northernmost parts of the district, passing the cities of Gnzburg and Leipheim. There are several affluents coming from the south, for example Biber, Gnz and Mindel. Most of the district's area is covered with forests; the eastern third of the territory is part of the Augsburg Western Forests Nature Park.
