Julius Gös (born January 11, 1830 in Aalen , † October 19, 1897 in Tübingen ) was a German local politician. From 1874 he was city ​​school and from 1887 to 1897 Lord Mayor of Tübingen.

Urban development

During the term of office of Mayor Gös, around 300 private and public buildings were built in Tübingen, most of which were still in the immediate vicinity of the old town. A few dense, settlement-like groupings were important, such as the houses on Belthlestrasse, the large apartment buildings on Olgastrasse and the first residential buildings in the southern part of the city ​​to the right of Steinlach . From 1877 to 1897, the population of Tübingen increased from just under 11,000 to over 14,000 “local people”.

Many public buildings were also built during that time. In addition to the numerous new buildings of the university , especially in Wilhelmsvorstadt, there were three larger projects that were carried out under the municipal authority: the secondary school extension on the Schulberg, the girls 'elementary school (Hölderlin school) on the Stadtgraben and the boys' elementary school (Silcherschule) on Kelternsstraße. The new buildings served the needs of a rapidly growing population.

In order to do justice to the growing number of students, the first houses of the student associations were built on the Österberg in his era : Franconia , Rhenania , Borussia , Scottland and Stuttgardia . Gös himself was a member of the Ulmia Tübingen country team . From 1894 onwards there were other company houses on and around the Österberg: Wingolf and Ghibellinia. 1896 Germaniahaus (new building 1931).

Garrison town

In 1875, with the opening of the Füsilier barracks, later called Thiepval barracks , the history of Tübingen as a garrison site began under Julius Gös. Stadtschultheiß Gös welcomed the first units of the Third Battalion of the 10th Württemberg Infantry Regiment No. 180 stationed here as they marched into the market square to the cheers of the population and the thunder of the cannons from the castle .
