Oberdonaukreis

The Oberdonaukreis (German: Upper Danube District) was one of the 15 administrative districts (German: Bezirke or Regierungsbezirke) of the Kingdom of Bavaria between 1806 and 1837 named after its main river Danube.

It was the predecessor of the Regierungsbezirk Schwaben (Administrative District of Swabia).

In 1810, the Oberdonaukreis was expanded but some territory was also given to the Illerkreis and to the neighbouring Kingdom of Württemberg.

District headquarters were moved to Eichstätt and, in 1817, to Augsburg.

In another territorial reorganization initiated by King Ludwig I on 29 November 1837, the Oberdonaukreis was renamed Swabia and Neuburg (Schwaben und Neuburg).
