• The castle Hohenstaufen in the district of Hohenstaufen was the home castle of the Staufer family. It was built in the second half of the 11th century and destroyed in 1525.
• The Protestant Oberhofenkirche (formerly the collegiate church of St. Martin and Maria) stands on historical ground: a Roman villa as well as early medieval predecessor buildings and a late Romanesque basilica are archaeologically proven. Construction of the existing church began in 1436 outside the city walls, but the original plans for a three-aisle structure were not implemented. The influence of the Ulm School can be seen in many details . Many extensions (especially the tower and wooden gallery, 1853) and renovations have changed the church significantly. From the Reformation onwards it was mainly used as a burial church and partly also profane, until it became a parish church again from 1902. Wall paintings in the choir (1449) and in the transept (oldest view of Hohenstaufen, 1470), the choir stalls (1500) and a carved crucifix (around 1520) have been preserved from the founding period . The choir windows were created by the glass artists Walter Kohler (1938; middle window) and Wolf-Dieter Kohler (1983; left and right). Next to the Oberhofenkirche there is still the choir of a former Marienkapelle from 1410, today used as the Holy Cross chapel for devotions and art presentations. A Staufer stele has been standing near the church towards the city center since 2012 . a. reminds of a stay in Göppingen by Friedrich I. Barbarossa .
• The Protestant town church without a choir was built between 1618 and 1619 by master builder Heinrich Schickhardt - with its western longitudinal wall on the inner town wall - as a transverse church. Due to the four-story fruit chute ( granary ) in the extremely wide roof, it is the largest Protestant Renaissance church in Europe with this special feature and originally well over 1,600 seats . After the baroque interior renovation in 1782 in a longitudinal orientation towards the pulpit, a neo-Romanesque church tower was built in 1845 to replace the dilapidated predecessor. Today's interior version combines the baroque gallery complex with Art Nouveau elements from the beginning of the 20th century and the mobile inventory from the renovation from 1976 in an appealing way , making it suitable for a wide range of forms of worship, concerts and creative events.
• The castle is a four-wing Renaissance building that was built in 1555–1568 by Aberlin Tretsch and Blasius Berwart . The facade underwent major changes in the 18th century. Three of the four stair towers have been preserved. The main staircase known as the vine staircase was built in 1562, shows rich plant and animal reliefs and is a mixture of Renaissance and Gothic .
• The ducal stables with the stables fountain is located in the immediate vicinity of the castle and is a half-timbered building that was built in the middle of the 16th century. Some pointed arch portals still show Gothic elements. It is used as a youth detention center. The Marstallbrunnen is more recent and was created by the Göppingen-born sculptor Fritz Nuss .
• The town hall , a two-wing, classical building from 1785, was built on the orders of Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg . A fundamental renovation took place in 2001.
• The Adelberger Kornhaus , completed in 1514, is one of the few remaining medieval buildings in the city. The city ​​library has been located there since 1981 . In the gable is a copy of the Latin inscription: Abbot Leonhard Dürr, doctor of philosophy and both rights, once built this building in order to store the fruits and to protect the brothers from hunger even in hard times. It was brought to light by the village of Zell under the breadth of the Aichelberg in 1514.
• The Alte Kasten is a former warehouse of the Oberhofen monastery administration from 1707. Today it houses the city ​​archive and the Schönhengster Museum and Archive as well as a home parlor and documentation of the history of the Banat Swabians .
• The house Illig was built in 1879/1898 in the style of historicism . It served as a printing and publishing building until the early 1970s. Since the renovation in 1980/1981, it has housed the cultural office, the Göppingen municipal youth music school and a room theater with a small theater stage.
• The old E-Werk was built in 1899 on behalf of the Neckarwerke energy supply company . The brick building is in the style of late historicism typical of the time, but also has Art Nouveau influences. The power plant was owned by the Neckarwerke until 1978, after which the city acquired it and it remained unused for a long time. It has served as a cultural center since 1993.
• The partnership fountain , built in 1981 based on a design by the Hohenstaufen artist Hermann Schwahn , shows legends and events from Göppingen and the twin cities of Klosterneuburg and Foggia as well as the sponsorship for the expellees from the Schönhengstgau.
• The Sauerbrunnen
• Other Protestant churches belonging to the church district of Göppingen (list by age):
  • The Faurndau collegiate church was built between 1200 and 1220 and is one of the most important late Romanesque buildings in the Swabian region. Faurndau was first mentioned in 875. From around 1200 to 1220, today's collegiate church was built on the foundations of four previous buildings. The three-aisled flat-roofed pillar basilica initially had no tower, which was only added in the Gothic period in 1341. Until the Reformation, the Faurndau Monastery was owned by the St. Gallen Monastery . After the Reformation in 1535, the monastery was abolished by Württemberg and the former collegiate church became the local parish church. - Both the east gable and the capitals inside are equipped with a variety of sculptural decorations . The oldest part is the ribbed choir in the east . The main entrance to the west is a three-tiered column portal . Individual columns in the anteroom carry early Gothic calyx-bud capitals , which are among the earliest of this type. The early Gothic wall paintings in the chancel date from around 1300 (side wall surfaces: the life of Mary ; vaulted caps: the four symbols of the evangelists ; apse dome : Christ in the mandorla as judge of the world). Under the mandorla, as part of the church renovation in 1957, Wolf-Dieter Kohler provided the middle choir window with stained glass: The Archangel Michael weighs the human souls who, awakened by the sound of the seven apocalyptic trumpets, rise from their graves to face the Last Judgment To face God. - Also in 1957, the bronze altar cross was created by Emil Jo Homolka (1925–2010) and the altar, pulpit and lamb above the south portal by Ulrich Henn . The Fountain of Mercy in front of the Church (2006) also comes from the latter . The well-known architect Martin Elsaesser created a memorial shrine on the wall of the sacristy around 1920, the winged doors of which were designed by the artist Käte Schaller-Härlin with four paintings (Crucifixion, Descent from the Cross, Lamentation, Resurrection) .
  • Village church St. Gotthardt in the municipality of Holzheim : The chapel was probably a pilgrimage church, which was built around 1350 by Seifried von Zillenhardt, who traveled to Tuscany in mercenary services, a knight at the nearby Zillenhart Castle , as part of the Gotthardt worship at that time and the place that was subsequently created gave her name. The smaller of the two bells dates from this time. A remnant of a fresco (flagellation of Jesus) and floor tiles from 1500 were exposed during the church renovation in 1993. In 1973, the glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the round window in the altar wall with the Easter motif of the three women at the empty Christ tomb.
  • The Laurentiuskirche in the district of Bezgenriet was built in 1405 as the Laurentiuskapelle. The nave and tower were rebuilt in 1611. 1947 they put a royal bauzeit Judgment - fresco in the choir free. The choir window was designed in 1960 by Adolf Valentin Saile with passion motifs and a representation of the patron saint Laurentius .
  • Old village church Jebenhausen : A chapel for St. Philip and James existed as early as 1228. The Lords of Liebenstein introduced the Reformation. Jakob Andreä was the reformer. The church was built in late Gothic form in 1506. It has several epitaphs of local rule. After the construction of today's Jakob-Andreä-Kirche, the old church was sold to the city of Göppingen, whichopened the Göppingen Jewish Museum there in 1992(see below).
  • The Barbarossakirche in the Hohenstaufen district was built in the 15th century. Presumably there was a chapel in the same place before. In the interior there was a mural depicting Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. Count Ulrich donated the parish church, called St. Jakobskirche from 1589 , to the Adelberg monastery . This church, named Barbarossakirche since 1859 , owned by the Protestant community, a late Gothic choir tower from the 15th century, was transformed into a national historical monument in the course of the German national movement from 1859 . In 1932, in connection with this national cult, the choir window was decorated with the portrait of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa, the imperial eagle and the Staufer coat of arms. The window opposite in the rear west wall, however, represents a corrective to this and a discussion of the encoded, ambiguous "Years of the German turning point in 1933": Stuttgart artist Walter Kohler , associated with the Confessing Church , created the current version of the imminent arrest of Jesus in the garden on the left Gethsemane by a Soldateska "armed" with devices and a swastika flag (removed after the war) under the leadership of Judas; right the real Christian community in community and conversation, giving and receiving, welfare, education and awareness among the frail and powerless true healing sbringer Jesus on the cross . The church is used by the Catholic parish of St. Maria (Göppingen).
  • Leonhardskirche Maitis : The late Gothic church was built in 1464.
  • St. Bernhardskirche Holzheim , late Gothic church with cross-vaulted choir, the nave was extended to the north and west in 1671 and provided there with a two-sided gallery. In 1878 the church was renovated, with a western ridge turret . The glass artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler designed the four Gothic choir windows in 1977. In 1994 the north extension and the exterior renovation followed and in 2005 the interior renovation with redesign of the altar area.
  • Old village church Bartenbach , built in 1651 on the site of the destroyed church that was first mentioned in 1405. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War. Today's church wasbuiltat the same location as a transverse church in1651. After a new evangelical community center was built, it has been used as the "Holy Cross Church" since 1983 (and the first of its kind in Germany) and has been acquired by the Armenian community of Baden-Württemberg since 2017.
  • Hohenstaufen church : The Protestant church wasdesignedby Karl Marcell Heigelin in 1833, built posthumously in 1838/39 andexpanded and restored in1934 by Hans Seytter . Thereby creating Walter Kohler the colored arched windows and large in two sections Judgment fresco 1934 the central part (Judge in the Pop Art , with two choirs of the blessed and two angel choirs, crown and instruments of torture supporting) and 1940, the side panels with eschatological parables and motifs, underneath, the fight of Michael with the dragon as a (also historical) symbol of evil isvisually striking. The content of the fresco corresponds to Walter Kohler's west window in the neighboring Barbarossakirche.
  • Reuschkirche : The Reuschkirche was built between 1930–1931 by the Göppingen architect Otto Bengel. The six round windows (motifs: the six days of the creation story) were made by the Göppingen glass cutter Hermann Fischer using the glass cut technique, which is very rare in church furnishings. After being destroyed in the war in 1945, they were replaced by Rudolf Yelin the Elder in 1950 . J. replaced by stained glass (five passion motifs and one Easter motif).
  • Martin Luther Church : The Bodenfeld Church , later called Martin Luther Church , was built in 1956 by architect Walter Ruff . The large painting on the altar wall with the subject of the mercy seat , a type of image for the Trinity , was created by Wolf-Dieter Kohler . With effect from October 4, 2005, the Bodenfeld parish in Göppingen was renamed the Martin Luther parish in Göppingen. The Martin Luther Church was sold to the Syrian Orthodox community Mor Jakob von Sarug eV in2014. As a replacement for the church, rooms were created in a new building for the community.
  • Jakob-Andreae-Kirche Jebenhausen : The modern church was planned by architect Heinz Rall and inaugurated in 1966. Two Jebenhausen artists contributed to the design: Sigrid Flassbeck of Liebenstein created the concrete glazing Dallglas in Taufnische and Manfred Spang the wall relief (catch of Peter) and the relief panels on the gallery balustrade (history of the God-man relationship). There are community rooms on the slope below the church.
  • Community center Bartenbach : In 1974 the community built a new community center with architect Gerhard Fetzer (Grunbach), where services are celebrated today. The bronze altar cross with candlesticks was created in 1974 by the Hohenstaufen artist Hermann Schwahn (1927–2003) and the colored glazing in 1980 by the Stuttgart glass artist Anna-Dorothea Kunz-Saile .
  • Johanneskirche Manzen : In 1975 architect Jan Beng Oei from Fellbach built the community center with Johanneskirche .
