Bad Ditzenbach (Swabian: Ditzebach) is a municipality in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.
History
[edit | edit source]The townships of Ditzenbach, Auendorf, and Gosbach were, until German mediatization in 1806, possessions of the House of Helfenstein. They were awarded to the Kingdom of Württemberg, a state that had come to control most of the surrounding territory between 1422 and 1455. The town was placed within Württemberg's administrative structure in Oberamt Wiesensteig until 1810, when it was transferred to Oberamt Geislingen. The nearby village of Auendorf had already mostly been a possession of Württemberg before mediatization. Auendorf and Gosbach were assigned to Oberamt Göppingen until transfer in 1808 to Oberamt Wiesensteig. Auendorf moved to Oberamt Göppingen in 1810 and in the same year Gosbach joined Ditzenbach in Oberamt Geislingen. The three townships were placed in the district of Göppingen in 1938. The three townships were merged into a new municipality, Bad Ditzenbach, on 1 January 1975.[2]
Bad Ditzenbach
[edit | edit source]In 1560, a spa was built in the town on its mineral springs. It received the name Bad, "Spa", from the Weimar Republic in 1929.[2]

Bad Ditzenbach lies along Göppingen's district border with the Alb-Danube district to the south. The municipal area is physically located in the Middle Kuppenalb.

Coat of arms
[edit | edit source]The municipal coat of arms for Bad Ditzenbach displays a golden fountain with silver waters in front of a green, three-pointed hill that almost totally covers the field, also gold. The fountain is taken from the coat of arms of the town of Bad Ditzenbach, and the hill is a reference to the local terrain. The municipal coat of arms was approved by the Göppingen district office on 17 August 1977 and a corresponding flag issued.[2]
