Goeppingen: Hohenstaufen Mountain, Maerklin Model Trains, and the Fils Valley's Industrial Spine
Goeppingen has a population around 58,000 and lies in the Fils valley at the foot of the Hohenstaufen mountain in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Hohenstaufen, a conical hill topped by castle ruins, was the ancestral seat of the Staufer dynasty that produced Holy Roman Emperors like Frederick Barbarossa and Frederick II. The Maerklin model train company, founded in Goeppingen in 1859, made the city synonymous with precision miniature engineering.
The Stadtkirche, the Adelberger Kornhaus, and the Oberhofenkirche mark the old town. The Fils valley between Stuttgart and Ulm is one of Baden-Wuerttemberg's most industrialised corridors, with automotive suppliers and mechanical engineering firms. The Barbarossatherme, a thermal bath, draws on natural mineral springs. Schuler AG, a major press manufacturer, is headquartered here. Stuttgart is about 40 kilometres northwest. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory approach.
