History

Some time between 1382 and 1396, Gingen was sold by the County of Helfenstein to the Free Imperial City of Ulm, whose bailiff resided in the town until 1750. Gingen became a possession of the Electorate of Bavaria in 1802, but was ceded in 1810 to the Kingdom of Württemberg. Gingen was assigned to Oberamt Geislingen [de]. In 1845, the town was connected to the growing network of railways in Europe by the construction of the Fils Valley Railway. Gingen was reassigned in 1938 to the district of Göppingen and entered a period of urban growth after World War II, nearly doubling in physical size. Since the turn of the millennium, urban sprawl has primarily been to Gingen's west.[2]

Politics

Gingen has one borough (Ortsteil), Gingen an der Fils, and three villages: Grünenberg, Hämmelplatz, and Marren. The abandoned villages of Ferrenbronn, Liebenweiler, Marchbach, and Weschenbeuren are also found in the municipal area.[2]

Insignia

Coat of arms

Gingen an der Fils's coat of arms displays a field of white crossed by a bend sinister, in blue, with a red in the top left corner of the blazon. This pattern was devised and adopted for use by the municipal council in 1922 and refers to the river Fils and to a local church where, supposedly, the oldest surviving written document in Germany was written. The Federal Ministry of the Interior approved the coat of arms and issued a corresponding municipal flag on 5 December 1958.[2]

Transportation

Gingen is connected to Germany's network of roadways by Bundesstraße 10 and to its system of railways by the Fils Valley Railway. Local public transportation is provided by the Filsland Mobilitätsverbundes [de].[2]
