== History == The oldest traces of settlement in the district date back to the Hallstatt period. Ancient, possibly Roman, settlement remains can be found at Hardtheimer Brünnele. The place name “Gärtringen” is of Alemannic origin, whereby the settlement is probably named after a Gartheri. Gärtringen was first mentioned in a document in 1140. Originally subject to the County of Calw, then to the Palatine Counts of Tübingen, the municipality became a part of Württemberg in 1382.
