Due to the high demand for workers in the new factories the number of inhabitants grew rapidly.

Today's economy is based on several companies that settled on the former "Fahr" factory area.

The municipal area of Gottmadingen comprises also the outlying villages of Bietingen, Ebringen and Randegg, as well as the hamlet Murbach.

Both Bietingen and Gottmadingen itself have railway stations and benefit from rail connections to Schaffhausen and Singen.

The route also passes through the German exclave of Büsingen am Hochrhein and its outlying village Stemmer, crossing the international border four times.
