This was named Eislingen (on old timetables Eißlingen) since the State Railways did not want to discriminate against Kleineislingen ("Little Eislingen"), which was located nearby on the main Stuttgart—Ulm road and had 1000 inhabitants.
Diese erhielt den Namen Eislingen (auf alten Fahrplänen Eißlingen), da die Eisenbahndirektion Kleineislingen, an der Staatsstraße Stuttgart–Ulm gelegen und 1000 Einwohner zählend, nicht benachteiligen wollte.
