Offingen lies in the Donauried between Ulm and Donauwörth on the Danube and Mindel. The Ulm–Augsburg railway line crosses the town. Neuoffingen station was an important interchange for decades.
Offingen is, as can be derived from the name ending -ingen, the foundation of an Alemannic clan. The place name is derived from a clan leader Offo. The village developed as a street village at the intersection of the Roman road from Günzburg to Augsburg with the valley path leading along the Kammeltal. The village was first mentioned in a document dated 4 September 1186, in which Pope Urban III confirmed, among other things, that it was owned by the Augsburg bishop Udalschalk. At that time, the local government was exercised by Augsburg ministers. One of these ministerials was Konrad Schoberlin, whose gift of goods from the year 1209 has given an early mention of the town.
