history
The district of Göppingen is also known as the Staufer district. The princely family began at Hohenstaufen Castle around 1070 and rose to the imperial throne. After the Hohenstaufen dynasty died out, the Göppingen area largely fell to the Counts of Württemberg . Here Göppingen soon became the seat of an upper office . After 1810, the area around Geislingen , which was formerly part of the free imperial city of Ulm , became part of Württemberg and the Oberamt Geislingen was established . From 1810, both senior offices belonged to the Landvogtei an Fils and Rems and from 1818 to the Danube District , which was dissolved in 1924. In 1934 they were renamed in districts and in 1938 both were combined to form the district of Göppingen. Some places in the Geislingen district also came to the Ulm district . The district of Göppingen also received some places from the disbanded districts of Kirchheim, Schorndorf, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Welzheim.
During the district reform , the district of Göppingen was not changed on January 1, 1973.
On January 1, 1971, he had acquired the community of Türkheim in the Ulm district . Waldhausen followed from the same district on March 1, 1972. Both Türkheim and Waldhausen were incorporated into the town of Geislingen an der Steige . On April 1, 1972, the district was enlarged to include the municipality of Maitis, which was incorporated into the city of Göppingen .
After the municipal reform has been completed, the district of Göppingen still comprises 38 municipalities, including nine towns and of these, in turn, three " large district towns " ( Eislingen / Fils , Geislingen an der Steige and Göppingen). The largest city in the district is Göppingen, the smallest municipality is Drackenstein .

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Göppingen shows a red armored and red-tongued black lion in gold under a lying black stag pole. The coat of arms was adopted by the then Oberamt Göppingen in 1928. According to the legal situation at the time, an official award was not required. The district of Göppingen was retained during the district reform, so that a new award was not necessary.
The lion is the coat of arms of the Hohenstaufen , who had their possessions in the district. The district of Göppingen is also known as the “Staufer district”. The stag bar is the coat of arms symbol of Württemberg, which ruled the predominant district area after the fall of the Staufer.

In addition to the coat of arms, the district also uses a logo.
Partnerships
The district of Göppingen has had a partnership with the district of Görlitz in Saxony since 1990 .
Economy and Infrastructure
In the 2016 Future Atlas , the Freudenstadt district was ranked 117th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and independent cities in Germany, making it one of the regions with “certain future opportunities”. In the 2019 edition, it was ranked 152nd out of 401.
In the district of Göppingen u. a. the well-known companies WMF , Märklin and Schuler have their headquarters .
traffic
railroad
In the district of Göppingen, the Filstalbahn , a main line of the Württemberg state railway , crossed the Swabian Alb in 1847 from Stuttgart to Süßen, 1849 to Geislingen an der Steige and 1850 to Ulm .
Only after the end of the 19th century were some branch lines introduced into the side valleys:
- 1901: Lautertalbahn Süßen – Donzdorf – Weißenstein
- 1903: Tälesbahn Geislingen – Bad Ditzenbach – Wiesensteig and
- 1911/12: Hohenstaufenbahn Göppingen – Schwäbisch Gmünd
In 1926 the Göppingen – Boll Voralbbahn was added by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
Only the village of Waldhausen is touched by the Amstetten – Gerstetten local railway, opened in 1906 by the Württemberg Railway Company .
Passenger traffic was shut down on all of these branch lines:
- 1968: Deggingen – Wiesensteig (8 km)
- 1969: Donzdorf – Weißenstein (7 km)
- 1980: Süßen – Donzdorf 3 km and Geislingen – Deggingen (13 km)
- 1984: (Schwäbisch Gmünd) –Lenglingen – Göppingen (16 km)
- 1989: Göppingen – Boll (12 km)
- 1997: (Amstetten) –Waldhausen– (Gerstetten) (4 km)
So only 35 km of what was once almost 100 km are regularly driven.
An extension of the Stuttgart S-Bahn on the Filstalbahn into the district area has been discussed again and again for years. The district decided in January 2007 to participate in the preparation of a feasibility study for this. The topic is controversial, among other things because it is feared that an S-Bahn would lead to restrictions on the Regional Express connections. In the past, the construction of the new Wendlingen – Ulm line was named as a prerequisite , because this would relieve the Filstalbahn of long-distance passenger traffic.
Bus transport
The bus routes in the district operate at uniform tariffs within the Filsland mobility network .
In addition to the Filsland and VVS tariffs , there was an express bus route from 2007 to 2008, the FAirLiner , which connected Geislingen, Göppingen and six other municipalities in the district with Stuttgart Airport and Messe Stuttgart . The line was operated by the bus companies Omnibusverkehr Göppingen and Sihler. Due to low passenger numbers, the companies ceased operations on October 19, 2008.
Motor transport
The district area is touched in the southwest by the federal autobahn 8 Stuttgart - Ulm . Furthermore, the district is opened up by federal, state and district roads. The most important are the B 10 Stuttgart – Ulm, the B 297 Göppingen – Schwäbisch Gmünd and the B 466 Mühlhausen - Heidenheim .

The district of Göppingen is responsible for the following vocational schools : Commercial school Göppingen, commercial school Göppingen, Justus-von-Liebig-Schule (home economics and agricultural school) Göppingen, commercial school Geislingen an der Steige, commercial school Geislingen an der Steige, Emil-von- Behring-Schule (home economics school) Geislingen and Paul-Kerschensteiner-Schule Bad Überkingen (commercial school for the hotel and restaurant trade), as well as the following special educational and advisory centers (SBBZ): Bodelschwinghschule Göppingen (focus on mental development and physical and motor development) , the Bodelschwinghschule Geislingen an der Steige (specialization in intellectual development) and the Wilhelm-Busch-Schule (specialization in language) and SBBZ for schoolchildren in long hospital treatment with the school kindergarten in Göppingen.

Municipalities before the district reform
Before the district reform in 1973 or before the community reform , the Göppingen district had a total of 65 communities since 1938 , including 5 towns . In 1939 Holzheim, 1956 Bartenbach and 1957 Bezgenriet were incorporated into the city of Göppingen and in 1966 Weiler ob Helfenstein was incorporated into the city of Geislingen an der Steige . So there were only 61 parishes left.
On March 7, 1968, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg set the course for a community reform . With the law to strengthen the administrative power of smaller municipalities , it was possible for smaller municipalities to voluntarily unite to form larger municipalities. The beginning in the district of Göppingen was made on July 1, 1971 by the municipalities of Hausen an der Fils and Oberwälden, which were incorporated into the municipality of Bad Überkingen and the municipality of Wangen , respectively. In the period that followed, the number of communities steadily decreased. All remaining communities in the district of Göppingen were transferred to the new district of Göppingen on January 1, 1973 , but the number of communities continued to decrease in the period that followed.
The largest municipality in the district of Göppingen before the district reform was the district town of Göppingen , which has been a major district town since April 1, 1956 . The smallest community was Oberwälden. The district of Göppingen covered an area of 610 km² before the district reform and had a total of 225,987 inhabitants at the 1970 census . After the district reform in 1973, other communities were elevated to cities, namely Ebersbach an der Fils 1975, Donzdorf 1976, Süßen 1996 and Uhingen 1997.
The table shows the population development of the old district of Göppingen up to 1970. All population figures are census results.

In the table, the municipalities of the district of Göppingen are before the municipality or district reform without the municipalities of Holzheim, Bartenbach, Jebenhausen and Bezgenriet, which were incorporated into Göppingen before 1966. All communities still belong to the Göppingen district today.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive symbol GP when the vehicle license plates were introduced that are still valid today . It is still issued today.
