Gimmelshtump is a town in Drusselstein where Heinz Doofenshmirtz, his family, and his neighbor, Kenny, grew up. It is also the place where Heinz created Balloony. It has been hinted that Dr. Gevaarlijk, Heinz's Evil Science 101 teacher, is also living here. It seems to be a rather poor, semi-rural area, located in Europe ("Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror", "Oil on Candace", "The Chronicles of Meap").
It is where Dr. Phineastein and Ferbgor lived many years ago as well. Love Händel appears to have played a concert there too, although it may have been likely retroactively added by Doofenshmirtz during a flashback. By the present day, Gimmelshtump has developed and modernized significantly ("The Bad Old Days"). Gimmelshtump life was very negative to Heinz Doofenshmirtz, thus, making him evil. It might have been positive to Doofenshmirtz-2, because he only lost his toy train, "Choo-Choo".
