history
Before 1803, Geislingen an der Steige belonged to the Free Imperial City of Ulm. From there the Reformation was introduced in 1531. Paul Beck is known to be the first Protestant pastor. In 1810 the area around Geislingen came to Württemberg. From there, the Geislingen deanery was established on November 23, 1810, but its deanery was initially connected to the Altenstadt parish (which at that time was still an independent parish). The deanery belongs to the Generalate Ulm, from which today's Prelature Ulm emerged.
In 1833 the parish priest of Geislingen was appointed dean and the seat of the deanery was moved from Altenstadt to Geislingen. The Dean's Office was identical to the old Württemberg Oberamt Geislingen, but its boundaries then changed several times. When the Oberamt Geislingen was dissolved in 1938, the church district Geislingen remained.
The church district Geislingen an der Steige maintains a partnership with the Superintendent of Saalfeld in Thuringia. Another partnership exists with the Indian diocese of North Kerala.
The parish of Geislingen and its parishes of Donzdorf, Eybach, the entire parish of Geislingen, the entire parish of Stubersheimer Alb and Süßen are members of the Protestant Parish Association founded in 1993. The parish day, organized as a registered association, represents the interests of the parishes and church districts in the Evangelical Church in Württemberg. He represents the Protestant parishes and church districts vis-à-vis the church leadership, regional synod, upper church council and associations.

The independent parish of Donzdorf was formed through the announcement of the Upper Church Council on April 23, 1957, after the Ministry of Education recognized the new parish as a public corporation by letter of February 11, 1957. At that time it comprised the towns of Donzdorf (excluding their hamlets Oberweckerstell and Vogelhof), Reichenbach unter Rechberg, Winzingen, Wißgoldingen and the hamlets of Kratzerhöfle, Schurrenhof, Stollenhäusle and Stollenhof belonging to Rechberg.
