Domleschg (Kreis)

Domleschg (also spelled ''Domlesch''), historically a ''Kreis'' (district) in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, is now largely encompassed within the administrative district of Hinterrhein. It refers to a geographically defined region in the Hinterrhein valley, characterized by its unique cultural and historical identity. The region stretches along the Hinterrhein river, known for its dramatic landscape and historically significant villages.

While no longer an official administrative unit, the name Domleschg remains relevant in describing the area's cultural heritage and collective identity. This identity is often linked to its distinct dialect, its architectural styles, and its shared history, which includes periods of significant influence from both the Raetian and Alemannic cultures. The specific boundaries of the historical Domleschg Kreis are sometimes debated, but generally include communities located along the Hinterrhein between Thusis and Rongellen.

Further research is needed to fully detail the precise historical administrative boundaries of the Domleschg Kreis, its evolution over time, and a comprehensive list of the communities historically included within its jurisdiction. The impact of cantonal administrative reforms on the region and the current administrative structures that now incorporate the former Domleschg Kreis also require further investigation.
