History

Süßen was first mentioned with the name of Siezun in the Lorsch codex in 1071. Großsüßen (Greater Süßen) was at first in the possession of the count of Helfenstein, who, in 1382 pledged it to the city of Ulm. Kleinsüßen (Smaller Süßen), though, was in the hands of the family Pappenheim. They inherited the land from the landlords of Bubenhofen.

In the Mediatization in 1802, Großsüßen was given to Bavaria, but in 1810, the lands were given back, in an exchange contract to Württemberg. Kleinsüßen, though, was never Bavarian land. After the exchange, both places, Groß- and Kleinsüßen, were assigned under the Head Office of Geislingen.

With the opening of the Fils Valley Railway and Süßen station in 1847, Kleinsüßen was connected to the public transportation.

In 1933, the two townships, Großsüßen and Kleinsüßen, were unified and the settlement Süßen was formed. The war reform in 1938 assigned the town to the region of Göppingen.
