Günzburg, Administrative district in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany.
Günzburg is a district in Swabia that spans 34 municipalities spread across the landscape between the Danube and its tributaries. The region combines river valleys, agricultural areas, and forested sections that shape its varied terrain.
The area grew from the medieval county of Burgau, which came under Austrian control in the 13th century and later fell under Bavarian rule. The modern district took its current form in 1972 when two former districts merged.
The district's coat of arms displays red and white colors with a yellow beam and an eagle, representing the historical margraviate and the Schwabegg-Ursberg monastic legacy.
The area is accessible via the A8 motorway linking Munich and Stuttgart with convenient connections throughout the region. Günzburg station provides access to intercity trains for visitors traveling to explore the district.
The eastern section contains the Augsburg Western Forests Nature Park with its wooded and open landscape. Three rivers—Biber, Günz, and Mindel—flow through the area, shaping both its drainage patterns and natural character.
