Grüt

Grüt is a residential district in northeastern Gossau that spans gentle hills at elevations between 541 and 555 meters. The area forms a substantial part of the municipality with mixed housing types including single-family homes and smaller residential complexes.

The area was settled in early medieval times, as old records show the region of Gossau under an earlier name. The district developed gradually from early agricultural settlements into a modern residential neighborhood.

German language predominates in Grüt, with 92.4 percent of residents speaking it as their primary communication method in daily interactions and community events.

The district offers good connectivity through public transport with regular services to surrounding urban centers. Pedestrians and cyclists can easily explore the quiet streets and move through the area without difficulty.

The terrain is shaped by drumlin formations that emerged during the last ice age and created the rolling hills of the landscape. These glacial elevations give the area its distinctive topographic character.
