Göppingen (electoral district)

Göppingen is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of thirty eight districts covering the state of Baden-Württemberg, it is coterminous with the county of Göppingen. The constituency elects one representative under the mixed member proportional representation (MMP) system. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 263.

The constituency was created for the 1949 election, the first election in West Germany after World War II. Originally it covered a larger area, but assumed its current form following boundary changes in 1965. It has been unchanged since then.

It has been held by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since its creation. The current representative is Hermann Färber, who was elected for the first time in 2013.
