geography
Geographical location
Böblingen is located on the northeastern edge of the Upper Gäus , on and on a steep hill that is an offshoot of the Schönbuch . The northern Black Forest can be reached from Böblingen in about half an hour, the Swabian Alb in 40 minutes.
Neighboring communities
The following cities and municipalities border the city of Böblingen. They are named in a clockwise direction starting in the east: Leinfelden-Echterdingen (district Esslingen) as well as Schönaich , Holzgerlingen , Ehningen and Sindelfingen (all district Böblingen)
City structure
Böblingen consists of the core city and the Dagersheim district , which was incorporated as part of the regional reform on September 1, 1971 . In Dagersheim there is a newly elected by the population in each municipal Ortschaftsrat , which a mayor projects.
In the core city, a distinction is sometimes made between residential areas with their own names, the names of which have emerged in the course of history due to the development, but which are usually not exactly delimitable and do not form their own administrative units. These include, for example, Tannenberg, Waldburg, Rauher Kapf, Grund and Diezenhalde.
Spatial planning
Together with the neighboring town of Sindelfingen, Böblingen forms a medium-sized center within the Stuttgart region , the regional center of which is Stuttgart. In addition to the two cities, the central area Böblingen / Sindelfingen also includes the municipalities in the central part of the district of Böblingen, namely Aidlingen , Altdorf , Ehningen , Gärtringen , Grafenau , Hildrizhausen , Holzgerlingen , Magstadt , Schönaich , Steinenbronn , Waldenbuch and Weil im Schönbuch .

history
prehistory
The settlement of the Böblingen area goes back to the Paleolithic Age (approx. 25,000–20,000 BC). Remains of a mammoth found here show traces of human processing. Traces of settlement and barrows originate from the Bronze Age (approx. 1100 BC) and the Celtic Age (late Hallstatt or Latène period; approx. 400 BC).
middle Ages
The first written records come from the Middle Ages around 1100 AD: "Bebelingen" is mentioned as the name of an Alemannic noble family. The final syllable -ingen in the name of Böblingen refers to the Alemanni . The first part of the city name is associated with a nobleman named "Bobilo".
In 1272, a branch of the Count Palatine of Tübingen , to whom the city was founded, resided in Böblingen . They planned the city in the shape of a half oval around the Schlossberg, with Marktstrasse as the longitudinal axis and cross streets running at right angles to it. The rule of the Tübingen Count Palatine ended in 1344 and 1357, respectively, when economic decline forced them to sell the city to the Counts of Württemberg .
Württemberg time
As a result, Böblingen became the seat of a Württemberg "office" and later an " upper office ".

Before that, there was a castle at the site of the Böblingen Castle. Based on ceramic finds, its construction is dated to the 7th to 9th centuries. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1302. The castle became the widow's seat of the House of Württemberg in the 15th century . The most important of the princely widows who resided there were Countess Mechthild von der Pfalz , mother of Count Eberhard im Bart from Württemberg , and Barbara Gonzaga von Mantua , Eberhard's wife. The castle shaped the cityscape until it was destroyed in World War II.
On May 12, 1525, Böblingen was the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the German Peasants' War . Georg Truchsess von Waldburg-Zeil , general of the Swabian Federation , defeated 15,000 farmers from Württemberg, the Black Forest and the Hegau.
The Oberamt Böblingen was created in 1758 from the Württemberg bailiwick and the later office in Böblingen . Due to the upheavals during the coalition wars and the establishment of the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 , the Oberamt Böblingen was enlarged by some formerly clerical and imperial knightly areas as well as by other Württemberg places.
In 1850 the city of Böblingen had 3,665 Protestant residents, nine professed to be Catholic and seven to be Jewish. They lived and worked in 482 main and 126 auxiliary buildings. At that time, agriculture and forestry were still the most important sources of income; 35% of the marking area was used for agriculture and 58% was forested. In addition to handicrafts and weaving, which was changing from manual to industrial production, the first industrial operations such as the laboratory of the pharmacist Bonz emerged, which in the 19th century developed into a world-class factory for chemical products, especially for anesthetics , and Spinning mills and Christian Auberlen's toy factory.
At the dawn of the industrial age , the diverse craft, the hard work, the skill and the ingenuity of the people were a locational advantage. The August Wagner machine factory (construction of presses, sewing machines, steam machines and barrel washing machines for breweries) was a prime example of Swabian tinkering. Böblingen's industrial development received the decisive impetus in 1879 with the opening of the Gäubahn . The construction of this line to expand the network of the Württemberg railway was carried out with considerable commitment by Otto Elben . The railway connection was accompanied by the designation of new industrial areas. The mechanical tricot weaving mill Ludwig Maier & Genieder established itself there as early as 1886 . The entrepreneurial concept for success consisted in the production of the newly launched brassiere .
During the First World War , the Böblingen military airport was inaugurated on August 16, 1915. The airport also housed the Aviation Replacement Department 10 (FEA 10) as a training department. The revolution began in Böblingen on the evening of November 8, 1918. Workers at the airport and the Daimler factory in Sindelfingen, which at the time was an aircraft factory and had been under military control since March 1918, planned demands and actions. On the morning of November 9th, after a stoppage of work, the airport workers presented their demands: Improvement of the diet, increase of wages and the dismissal of the yard officer Zahn. Then the civilian workers at the airport, members of the FEA 10 and the employees of the Daimler plant joined together in a demonstration march in the direction of Böblingen, which ended without incident at the Postplatz. FEA 10 soldiers formed a fourteen-member soldiers' council on November 11th . The council ordered the occupation of strategically important institutions. This included the Oberamt , the town hall, the post and telegraph office, the commercial bank, the gas works and the train station. In December the workers and farmers council for the city of Böblingen was elected. With the political change to the republic, the councils lost their importance and disbanded. In May 1919 local council elections took place in Böblingen. In June, the airport ceased operation of the FEA 10, as did the soldiers' council; in the same year, Daimler switched production to car bodies at the Sindelfingen location.
Subsequently, it was of decisive importance for the further urban development that Böblingen became the seat of the state airport for Württemberg in 1925 . Böblingen was the "bridge to the world". On the edge of the airfield, the Böblingen aviation pioneer Hanns Klemm (1885–1961) established his company Leichtflugzeugbau Klemm at the end of 1926 , which was the city's most important industrial company until the Second World War.
A steam brick was also once located in Böblingen. Numerous roof tiles were made here under the direction of authorized officer Alois Reinold, which still cover the roofs of the older houses in Böblingen and Sindelfingen.
Nazi era
By the circular reforms during the Nazi era in Württemberg in 1934 from the upper office Böblingen first of Böblingen , from 1938, the district of Böblingen emerged.
From 1936 the Hindenburg and Ludendorff barracks (today US tank barracks) were built in the city forest in record time, and on April 9, 1938 the 8th Panzer Regiment set up in Zossen moved into it.
The air raid by Allied air forces on the night of October 7th to 8th 1943 destroyed most of the old town with the town church, the castle and the town hall. There were numerous dead and injured. This and other bombing raids destroyed around 40 percent of the built-up area and almost 2,000 people were homeless at the end of the war.
post war period
In 1945 the district town of Böblingen came under the American zone of occupation and belonged to the newly established state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
After the currency reform of June 20, 1948, dynamic reconstruction began . The population tripled in just two decades (1950: 12,600; 1970: 37,500). With the settlement of future-oriented companies such as IBM (1949) and Hewlett-Packard (1959) as well as medium-sized companies, which have mainly settled on the Hulb since the 1970s , strong economic growth set in parallel to the population increase .
The population of Böblingen exceeded the limit of 20,000 in 1957. As a result, the city administration applied for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg then decided with effect from February 1, 1962. The plan to merge with the neighboring town of Sindelfingen as part of the community reform at the beginning of the 1970s failed due to popular resistance.
From July 19 to 27, 1981 the VIIth International Fire Brigade Competitions of the CTIF (Fire Brigade Olympiad) were held in Böblingen . In 1996 Böblingen organized a state horticultural show that was used to upgrade the inner-city green spaces. On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .
Incorporations
On September 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Dagersheim was incorporated.

Religions
The population of Böblingen originally belonged to the diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the archdeacon "ante nemus".
Protestant church
Since the city belonged to Württemberg early on , the Reformation was introduced here by Duke Ulrich from 1535 , so Böblingen was a predominantly Protestant city for centuries. At that time the city became the seat of a deanery (see church district Böblingen ), whose deanery church is the town church. The parish of Böblingen grew strongly after the Second World War as a result of immigration and was therefore divided. The Martin Luther congregation (church from 1960) and the Paul Gerhardt congregation (church from 1962) and in 1990 an ecumenical community center with the Protestant Christ Church and the Catholic parish “Our Father” in the Diezenhalde residential area were established. The four Protestant parishes (City, Martin Luther, Paul Gerhardt and Christ Church) together form the entire Evangelical Church Community of Böblingen. The Reformation was also introduced in the Dagersheim district as it belonged to Württemberg at an early stage. The local evangelical parish celebrates its services in the Agathenkirche, built in the 15th century, which has belonged to the University of Tübingen since 1476. Like all Böblingen parishes, the community belongs to the Böblingen church district within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
Catholic Church
Catholics have only returned to Böblingen since the late 19th century. A separate church of St. Boniface was built for them from 1895 to 1899. In 1910 Böblingen became its own parish . A second Catholic church (St. Clement) was built in 1959, which was raised to a parish in 1961. The Church of St. Mary was built in 1963 and made a parish in 1965. In 1990 the “Our Father” congregation in Diezenhalde was established as an ecumenical congregation center with the Evangelical Church. All parishes form the common pastoral care unit 2. The Christkönig church was built in 1958 in the Dagersheim district and in 1961 elevated to a parish. This community forms together with the Sindelfingen communities "Resurrection of Christ", "Maria Queen of Peace" and "To the Holy Trinity" a joint pastoral care unit 9. Both pastoral care units belong to the Böblingen dean's office of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
Other denominations
In addition to the two large churches, there are also free churches and congregations in Böblingen , including the South German Community , the Evangelical Methodist Church , the Evangelical Free Church Congregation ( Baptists ), the Free Evangelical Congregation , the Adventist Church and the People's Mission of Determined Christians e. V.
The New Apostolic Church and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented in Böblingen.
