Eislingen lies on the Fils river in the Landkreis Goeppingen of Baden-Wuerttemberg, with about 21,240 inhabitants. The town sits in the narrow Filstal valley between the Schwaebische Alb escarpment to the south and the Schurwald hills to the north. Textile manufacturing and later metalworking and engineering shaped the local economy. The WMF factory, producing cutlery and kitchen equipment, operated here for decades. The Fils, a tributary of the Neckar, runs through the town centre.
Goeppingen borders directly to the east. Stuttgart is roughly 40 kilometres northwest. The Filstal valley is densely built up along its narrow floor, with the B10 and the railway line running parallel to the river.
