Geislingen an der Steige

Geislingen an der Steige lies within five valleys surrounded by the Swabian Alb mountains at an elevation of 464 meters above sea level.

The settlement began around 1100 as a transit collection point established by the counts of Helfenstein on a commercial route between Rhine valley and Mediterranean.

The town features Alemannic half-timbered houses and maintains the Alter Bau museum, which displays regional art exhibitions throughout the year.

The municipality connects to Stuttgart and Ulm through regional rail services, with local transportation operating under the Filsland mobility network.

Following World War II, Estonian refugees established multiple cultural institutions in Geislingen, including an Estonian gymnasium and theater supporting their heritage.
