Göttingen is a village in the town of Langenau in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg. The current population of Göttingen is 1148, as of December 2016.[1]
History
The settlement of ‘Gotingen’ presumably developed as an Alemannic ancient village in the 6th/7th century.[2] Göttingen, as a ‘modern’ village, was first mentioned in the directory of the nearby Elchingen Abbey in 1225.[3]
On 1 April 1972, the village of Göttingen was incorporated into the neighbouring town of Langenau.[4]
Religion
Göttingen is home to a protestant Lutheran church (St. Justina, mistakenly also known as ‘Martinskirche’)[5] and a Roman Catholic church (Martinskirche, dedicated to St. Martin).[6]
Geography
The village is situated in the historic region of Swabia in southern Germany, on the southeastern edge of the Swabian Jura.[7] Göttingen is located in the eastern part of the state of Baden-Württemberg, approximately 14km (9 miles) northeast of Ulm. The village is bordered by Elchingen in the south and hence also shares a border with the German state of Bavaria. Göttingen is also bordered by Langenau in the east, and Albeck in the north and west of its boundaries.
Surrounded by the Autobahn 8 (Munich – Stuttgart) in the south and the Autobahn 7 in the east, Göttingen is conveniently connected to the national Autobahn system.
