Staufer Park
The Stauferpark (also known as Bürgerhölzle ) is a Göppingen district.
location
The Stauferpark is located northeast of the Göppingen city center (around 3.5 km and a ten-minute drive) at the foot of the Hohenstaufen . The district is connected to the L 1075 (Hohenstaufenstraße) and thus to Göppingen via Manfred-Wörner-Straße. The Oberholz, a wooded area between Göppingen and Hohenstaufen , extends north of the Staufer Park .
history
The area of today's Stauferpark was mainly used as pasture until the 1920s.
In 1930 an airfield was inaugurated on the site at the work of the Göppingen entrepreneur Carl Hommel. After the Second World War, the airfield was taken over by the US Army. In 1951, a division headquarters was established at the Cooke Barracks military base. After more than forty years, the last US soldiers left the facilities in 1992.

The area fell back under the administration of the city of Göppingen. A new, attractive city district was to be created on the newly acquired site that would combine work, leisure and living. This created a focus in the field of mechatronics and the area on which the former officer's villas stood became a residential area. Two further residential areas south and west of the center now frame the commercial area.
