history

Gosheim was first mentioned in 1295 in a document from Count Albrecht von Hohenberg as Gossheim . Remnants of settlements have already been identified from the Hallstatt period. The bailiwick of the village belonged to Wehingen Castle and with it from 1351 Austria. In 1805, the village passed from Upper Austria to Württemberg , which was elevated to a kingdom in 1806 . From 1806 to 1938 Gosheim was part of the Spaichingen District Office , and since 1938 it was part of the Tuttlingen district .

During the Second World War , on February 22, 1945 at around 2 p.m., bombs were dropped by English aircraft on Gosheim's mark. They fell in the Wiesental , on Jamit , Täli and the Sturmbühl . The bombs were supposed to destroy the Heubergbahn , the former railway line. However, none hit. The bomb craters were five to six meters deep and ten to twelve meters in diameter. 150–200 m³ of soil and rock were thrown up and scattered per bomb. Even today traces of it can still be found. It is believed that there are still three duds in the Wiesental .

After the Second World War, numerous German-born refugees from Yugoslavia settled there , which benefited the then still small industry, which soon expanded rapidly. From around 1970 onwards, the increasing demand for labor was met by foreign residents, initially mainly from Italy .

Towards the end of the 20th century, most of the industrial operations in the Gosheim town center were relocated to the outskirts. The required areas were developed between the course of the former railway line and the Egartensiedlung and on the Sturmbühl.
