Gelterfingen

Gelterfingen extends across 3.5 square kilometers of land, with agricultural fields covering 69 percent and forests occupying 24 percent of its territory.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1345 as Geltolfingen, with archaeological evidence revealing Hallstatt period graves at the Hole location.

The municipality maintains strong agricultural traditions, particularly specializing in cabbage cultivation while many residents also work in neighboring communities.

The village administration office operates from Schulhausstrasse, providing municipal services to its 249 residents through telephone, fax, and email communications.

The renovation of Gürbe and Müsche rivers between 1855 and 1911 transformed previously swampy valley floors into productive agricultural land.
