Traces of settlement from the Hallstatt period have been found. Gosheim first appears in 1295 as Gossheim in a charter of Count Albrecht II of Hohenberg. The village was a dependency (Vogtei) of the castle of Wehingen and from 1351 part of Austria. In 1805 the village was transferred  to Württemberg. From 1806 to 1938 Gosheim belonged to the oberamt of Spaichingen, and since 1938 to the Tuttlingen district. During the Second World War British aircraft dropped heavy bombs within Gosheim's borders on 22 February 1945 at 1400 hours. The bombs fell on Wiesental, Jamit, Täli and on the Sturmbühl. The bombs were intended to destroy the Heuberg Railroad, the former railway line. None hit their intended target, but the harvest was destroyed for several years. The bomb craters were  deep and have a diameter of . Each bomb ejected and scattered  of rock. Even today there are still traces visible. It is believed that three unexploded bombs still remain buried in Wiesental. After the Second World War numerous ethnic German refugees from Yugoslavia settled to the benefit of what was then small industry, which soon expanded rapidly. From around 1970, the increasing demand for labor was met by newly arrived foreign residents, in the beginning mainly from Italy. Towards the end of the twentieth century most industrial enterprises moved from the center to the outskirts of Gosheim. The necessary land was opened up between the former railway line and the Egartensiedlung and on the Sturmbühl. Culture and points of interest
