Historic Workers' Settlement Kuchen

Highlight • Historical Site

Significant in industrial history - it is best to take a few minutes and let the past sink in.

Gingen an der Fils town center

Highlight • Settlement

Gingen is called the "Pearl of the Fils Valley" and is picturesquely nestled between mountains at the interface of the Albtrauf and Fils landscape parks. As a destination and starting point for hikers, the community is perfect. The Albsteig runs through the town and Gingen offers itself as a stage. You can start or end hiking here with the regional train or on the federal highway 10 from Stuttgart, Esslingen and Plochingen.

SBI Park (Kuchen Landscape Park)

Highlight • Structure

In 1882, the "Süddeutsche Cotton-Industrie AG Kuchen" (SBI) was created from the merger of the Staub spinning and weaving mill with the Emil Waibel & Co. company. In its heyday, the SBI operated spinning mills in Kuchen, Geislingen-Altenstadt and Waltenhofen as well as weaving mills in Kuchen and Günzburg under its board of directors, led by Emil Waibel. After the difficult war years, the company, now renamed "esbi", profited from the economic miracle of the 1950s. Esbi now employed over 2,000 workers.
When the potential of hydropower at the factory location itself was no longer sufficient, Arnold Staub installed another turbine on the Filswehr in Gingen, whose energy he brought with a wire rope transmission over a distance of 467 m to the looms of the weaving mill. The tower with the wire cable transmission can still be seen in the SBI Park today

s' Trauhäusle in the SBI-Park Kuchen

Highlight • Religious Site

The small house likely dates back to the 1880s and is located in the SBI Park in Kuchen. It is part of the town's historic workers' settlement. Based on its unique design, the building was probably built as a private chapel for the cotton industrialist Arnold Staub, but it was soon used as a garden pavilion for the estate's villa.

Following extensive renovations of the settlement and its surroundings, completed in 2015, the small house now serves as a beautiful and popular wedding venue.
