==Geography==
The municipality (''[Gemeinde](/source/Municipalities_of_Germany)'') of Lauterstein is found in [the district](/source/G%C3%B6ppingen_(district)) of [Göppingen](/source/G%C3%B6ppingen), in [Baden-Württemberg](/source/Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg), one of the [16 States](/source/States_of_Germany) of the [Federal Republic of Germany](/source/Federal_Republic_of_Germany). Lauterstein lies on the northeast edge of Göppingen's district, along its border with the [Ostalb district](/source/Ostalbkreis). The municipal area is physically located in the {{ill|Albuch|de}} and {{ill|Härtsfeld|de}} regions, part of the {{ill|Eastern foothills of the Swabian Jura|de|Vorland der östlichen Schwäbischen Alb|lt=eastern foothills}} of the [Swabian Jura](/source/Swabian_Jura). Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of {{convert|779|m|sp=us}} [Normalnull](/source/Normalnull) (NN) to a low of {{convert|440|m|sp=us}} NN.<ref name=LEO-BW/>

Portions of the Federally-protected {{ill|Kaltes Feld mit Hornberg, Galgenberg und Eierberg|de}} and {{ill|Heldenberg (Naturschutzgebiet)|de|Heldenberg|lt=Heldenberg}} [nature reserves](/source/Naturschutzgebiet) are located in Lauterstein's municipal area.<ref name=LEO-BW/>

==Politics==
Lauterstein has two boroughs (''Ortsteile''), Nenningen and Weißenstein, and six villages: Albhof, Birkenbuckelweg, Christentalhof, Edelmannshof, Lützelalb, Ruppertsstetten, and Steighof. The [abandoned village](/source/abandoned_village) of Buitingen is also located in the municipal area.<ref name=LEO-BW/>

===Coat of arms===
The municipal [coat of arms](/source/coat_of_arms) for Lauterstein displays a [white](/source/Argent) obelisk flanked to the left by a [lion](/source/Lions_in_heraldry), in [red](/source/Gules) and facing to the right, and a [green](/source/Vert_(heraldry)), winged {{ill|Adlerfang|de|lt=eagle leg}} to the right. This pattern combines components of three other coats of arms; the lion is taken from the Lords of Rechberg and previously appeared on the coat of arms of Nenningen, as did the winged eagle foot. The obelisk is a holdover from Weißenstein's coat of arms. Lauterstein's coat of arms was awarded and a corresponding municipal flag issued by the Göppingen district office on 26 September 1978.<ref name=LEO-BW/>
