Giengen an der Brenz, Medieval town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Located near the Bavarian border, Giengen an der Brenz extends across 44 square kilometers of rolling hills at an elevation of 464 meters.
The settlement gained Free Imperial City status in 1395 and maintained this position until 1803 when it became part of the Duchy of Württemberg.
The Protestant Reformation reached Giengen in 1537, leading to significant religious changes and the transformation of St. Georg's Church into a Lutheran place of worship.
The town offers educational facilities including multiple primary schools, a gymnasium, and maintains strong transportation connections through the Brenzbahn railway line.
The Steiff company, founded by Margarete Steiff in Giengen, introduced the first jointed teddy bear in 1902 and continues production at its local factory.
