About Bartenbach
What are the main landmarks in Bartenbach?
A tower, a church and an animal park. The Luftikus Observation Tower supplies the long view, the Tierpark Göppingen draws families up from the town below, and the Pfarrkirche keeps the older ground at the middle of the quarter's streets. Three unlike draws.
What ties them together is scale, since each asks an hour or two rather than a day, and Bartenbach works better as a sequence of stops than as a single destination.
What is the history of Bartenbach?
The Pfarrkirche is the older layer. No charter year stands in the record for Bartenbach, so the parish church does the work that documents do elsewhere, marking ground that was settled and served well before Göppingen counted the place among its quarters. Leisure uses arrived much later, the Tierpark Göppingen and the Luftikus Observation Tower both belonging to a century with afternoons to spend.
Where is Bartenbach?
Bartenbach runs to some eight square kilometres of Göppingen's ground in Baden-Württemberg, with the Luftikus Observation Tower for a lookout. Not town centre.
