The Lake Constance district was formed by the district reform on January 1, 1973 by merging the Tettnang district with most of the Überlingen district.
The district of Tettnang emerged in 1934 from the old Württemberg Oberamt Tettnang , which was established in 1810. In 1938 the Tettnang district was renamed Friedrichshafen district , but later renamed again. The district of Überlingen was formed in 1936 through the merger of the Baden district offices of Überlingen and Pfullendorf , which were established in 1857 by merging several offices. With the district reform in 1973, the former Baden and Württemberg parts were combined into one district.
The new district initially consisted of 32 communities. The following communities were incorporated in the following years:
- April 1, 1974: Deisendorf to Überlingen
- July 1, 1974: Hödingen and Nesselwangen to Überlingen
- January 1, 1975: Hattenweiler , Heiligenberg and Wintersulgen combined to form the new community of Heiligenberg
- January 1, 1975: Billafingen to Owingen
- January 1, 1975: Beuren to Salem
- January 1, 1975: Bonndorf and Nussdorf to Überlingen
- 1975 Kau of Meckenbeuren according Tettnang umgemeindet
- In 1977, Elle Wade of Heiligenberg by Deggenhausertal umgemeindet

coat of arms
Blazon : "In blue over three silver wave threads in the base of the shield, a rimless, eight-fold wedge-spoke golden wheel."
The design of the Markdorf-born master painter and heraldist Herbert Vogel had previously distinguished itself from almost 600 designs in an ideas competition announced by the district council. Vogel describes the coat of arms as follows:
“The wheel is a symbol of unity, a symbol of a new circular consciousness. The corrugated shield base represents the width of the lake landscape. The circular wheel above the lake, like a "talking" coat of arms, is the play on words of the "Bodensee-Kreis". As a symbol of the sun, the golden wheel indicates the mild maritime climate, the heraldic color gold is reminiscent of the golden, billowing fields of wheat, of the golden-yellow ripening apples and grapes. The heraldic silver can point to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps that greet us.
The number of eight spokes symbolizes eight larger rivers and streams that cross the district: Argen, Schussen, Rotach, Brunisach, Lipbach, Deggenhauser Aach, Salemer Aach, Seefelder Aach.
There are also eight administrative communities in the district with headquarters in Friedrichshafen, Überlingen, Tettnang, Markdorf, Meersburg, Salem, Kressbronn and Heiligenberg.
The eight is also symbolic from a historical point of view, because eight centers have shaped and stimulated the development of culture, art, economy and society: The St. Gallen Monastery, the Counts of Heiligenberg , the Counts of Montfort-Tettnang, the Salem Imperial Abbey, the Weingarten Monastery, the Prince-Bishops of Constance, the Free Imperial City of Überlingen, Buchhorn-Friedrichshafen.
The wheel is also a symbol for the constantly turning wheel of history. In the new Lake Constance district, it has brought together essential parts of the old Linzgau, with whose historical tradition the new coat of arms is connected through the thousand-year-old spoked wheel of the knights of Raderach and Markdorf. "
The district coat of arms was awarded to the Lake Constance district after a decision by the district council of December 16, 1975 and the approval of the Stuttgart State Archives by the Tübingen regional council on February 27, 1976.

Economy and Infrastructure
The Lake Constance district is one of the most economically innovative regions in Baden-Württemberg. The State Statistical Office even put the district in first place in the innovation power index of all districts in the state. It owes this position above all to the resident high and cutting-edge technology companies, including the automotive suppliers and machine builders ZF Friedrichshafen AG and MTU, as well as numerous aerospace technology companies that are concentrated in the western area of Friedrichshafen.
In the Lake Constance district, 56.9 percent of the total area is used as agricultural land.
In the future atlas 2016 , the Bodenseekreis ranked 19th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and independent cities in Germany and is therefore one of the regions with "very high future prospects". In the 2019 edition, it was ranked 52nd out of 401.
traffic
The Württemberg State Railroad reached Lake Constance as early as 1847 with the famous “Swabian Railway” from Ulm near Friedrichshafen. In contrast, the Stahringen – Friedrichshafen railway was only built by the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways in 1894 to Überlingen and in 1901 - from the state border by the Württemberg State Railway - to Friedrichshafen Stadt station. Its eastern continuation to Lindau was completed in 1899.
The Badische Staatsbahn added the following branch lines:
The first electrically operated standard gauge railway for passenger and freight transport in Germany was the 1895 opened local railway Meckenbeuren Tettnang- the Lokalbahn AG Munich. In 1922 the line Friedrichshafen Stadt – Oberteuringen of the Teuringertal-Bahn GmbH was added.
To improve local transport, the neighboring municipalities founded Bodensee-Oberschwaben-Bahn GmbH, in which the district holds 20% of the shares. In 1993 it took over local transport on the Ravensburg – Friedrichshafen route , and in 1997 this was extended to Aulendorf.
Of the original 94 kilometers of the entire network, 26 kilometers have been shut down:
- 1950: Uhldingen-Mühlhofen-Unteruhldingen (3 km)
- 1954: Friedrichshafen city – Oberteuringen (11 km)
- 1953: Salem (formerly: Mimmenhausen-Neufrach) –Frickingen (8 km)
- 1976: Meckenbeuren – Tettnang (4 km)
The area of the district is not touched by any federal motorway. The A 96 ( Lindau - Memmingen - Munich ) only passes a few kilometers east of the district. Not far from the west side of the district is the A 98 , which connects to the A 81 , among other things . The district itself is accessible via federal, state and district roads. The most important federal highways are the B 31 ( Breisach am Rhein - Lindau ), the B 30 ( Ulm - Friedrichshafen ) and the B 33 ( Ravensburg - Offenburg ).
Ferries across Lake Constance connect the Lake Constance district from Friedrichshafen to Romanshorn in Switzerland and from Meersburg to Constance . A catamaran runs every hour from Friedrichshafen to Konstanz.
The Friedrichshafen airport , at the GmbH holds the Lake District with 39.38%, connects the Lake Constance region with various destinations in Germany and abroad.
Anniversary trail Bodenseekreis:
The Jubiläumsweg Bodenseekreis begins at Kressbronn station , a 111-kilometer hiking trail that was set up in 1998 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Bodenseekreis. It leads over six stages from Kressbronn through the hinterland via Neukirch, Meckenbeuren, Markdorf, Heiligenberg and Owingen to Überlingen.
A group of around ten volunteer road attendants , under the direction of the District Office and in conjunction with the responsible municipalities, is responsible for the signposting and maintenance of the Jubilee Trail.
District facilities
The Bodenseekreis is responsible for the Markdorf education center with secondary school, secondary school and grammar school, the following vocational schools : Friedrichshafen vocational school center with Claude-Dornier-Schule (commercial school) and the state vocational school for the hotel and restaurant industry in Tettnang, Hugo-Eckener-Schule (commercial school ) and Droste-Hülshoff-Schule (home and agricultural school), electronics school Tettnang, Überlingen vocational school center with Jörg-Zürn-Gewerbeschule, Constantin-Vanotti-Schule (commercial school) and Justus-von-Liebig-Schule (home and agricultural school ) as well as the special educational and advisory centers Pestalozzi School in Markdorf (focus on intellectual development) and the Sonnenberg School in Salem-Buggensegel (focus on learning). The Bodenseekreis is sponsored by the Bodenseekreis adult education center with branches in all cities and municipalities and the youth art school in Meersburg.
The Bodenseekreis is constantly expanding its art collection Bodenseekreis with paintings by the artists who worked in the district. This collection is housed in the archive of Salem Castle.
The Bodenseekreis was a partner in Klinik Tettnang GmbH until it was taken over by the Waldburg-Zeil-Kliniken, which has been operating the Tettnang hospital since 2005. The former Überlingen district hospital is now sponsored by the Helios-Kliniken-Verbund.
