history
overview
In the Middle Ages, the Count Palatine of Tübingen and then the Counts of Hohenberg exercised power over Eutingen . From 1381 to 1805, Eutingen was part of Upper Austria in the possession of the Habsburgs .
In 1685 the place burned down to a large extent.
Through mediatization during Napoleon's time, Eutingen and the Gäu came to Württemberg in 1805 . According to the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg established in 1806 , Eutingen was assigned to the Oberamt Horb .
In 1874, Eutingen was connected to the Wuerttemberg railways network by building the Nagold Railway to Horb .
Eutingen and the incorporated districts have belonged to the district of Horb since 1938 due to the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg . In 1945 Eutingen became part of the French zone of occupation and thus came to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
In 1973 the district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg , when Eutingen became part of the Freudenstadt district . The municipality has had the name affix in the Gäu since November 19, 1971.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The Federal Highway 14 runs right through Eutingen and separates the city into two parts. For years, attempts have been made to find a solution to relieve the town of around 12,000 - 15,000 vehicles every day, but no result is in sight. The so-called Gäutrasse ( federal road 28 new between Freudenstadt and Ergenzingen ) - the bypasses of Bildechingen and Eutingen i. Gäu - was deleted from the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan without replacement when the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan was updated in 2003/04.
The Eutingen im Gäu train station is located on the plateau east of the main town on the Gäubahn Stuttgart – Singen and is the starting point of today's Gäubahn Eutingen – Schiltach branch and the location of a substation . The municipality is connected to regional traffic to Freudenstadt every hour and to regional traffic to Stuttgart and Rottweil every two hours. Stuttgart can be reached every hour with a change. The Eutingen-Nord train stop has also existed since winter 2019, which is closer to the center of Eutingen on the historic Gäubahn Eutingen-Freudenstadt , from which the state capital Stuttgart, Freudenstadt and Karlsruhe can be reached.
To the west of the village of Eutingen is the Hochdorf (b. Horb) train station at a fork in the route, from which trains run every hour in the direction of Freudenstadt and Eutingen and mostly every hour in the direction of Pforzheim and Tübingen . The Freudenstadt – Stuttgart direct connection, which runs every two hours, goes to Hochdorf station as well as the Karlsruhe city train S8, so that every two hours there is a free connection to Stuttgart, in the hours in between there is a change to the regional express / Intercity Singen – Stuttgart in Bondorf.
In addition to this basic clock, there are amplifier connections.
At the southern boundary of the municipality in the river valley lies the Eyach station on the Upper Neckar Railway , from where the Eyach – Hechingen railway branches off into the Eyachtal. The rail connection was given up in 1973 for scheduled passenger traffic and was mainly used for freight traffic until 2009. Since 2009, a clocked passenger train of the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL) has been running the Eyach Valley again on the Eyach – Haigerloch – Hechingen line. These are tourist trains made up of railcars that run on weekends in summer. The starting point of these trains is Tübingen. In the Hechingen station, the coupled railcars with different destinations are separated.
The Eutingen airfield in the east is mainly used for air sports.
Educational institutions
Eutingen has a primary school , which has a primary school branch in the district of Weitingen. In the entire community there are also three parish and two Roman Catholic kindergartens, with a parish and a church kindergarten in the main town of Eutingen itself.
