Gögglingen was first mentioned in a document in 1092. It was connected to Ulm by a customs bridge. Gögglingen belonged to Wiblingen and fell in 1806 through Napoléon Bonaparte's reorganization, first to Bavaria and in 1810 to Württemberg .

Donaustetten was first mentioned in a document in 1194. It belonged to Wiblingen since the early Middle Ages and was subordinate to Count Fugger- Kirchberg. The Austrian rule gave it more freedom of movement in the 18th century. In 1806 Donaustetten fell to Bavaria and in 1810 to Württemberg. After the Battle of Elchingen , Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have visited the Gögglinger Gasthaus Ritter.

Since July 1, 1974, the two localities have belonged to the university town of Ulm.
