history

Bodolz was first mentioned in a document in 1341, but the oldest (and still largest) district of Enzisweiler dates back to 1134.

In 1592 the Fuggers acquired Bodolz with the rule of Wasserburg . A year later, the Fuggers from the Lindauer Damenstift received all of their property in Bodolz - together with the rights of domination .

Bodolz was part of the Fugger rule of Wasserburg until 1763 and then came to Austria . Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria.

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

The two lilies and the colors blue and gold indicate the Fugger . The abbess's staff in the coat of arms reminds of the former rule of the Lindau women's monastery. The apple tree branch symbolizes fruit growing in the municipality. The coat of arms was awarded to Bodolz on August 17, 1985.

traffic

Private transport

The roads in the Bodolz area are mostly country roads with little traffic, which only require a few separate bike and footpaths. The exception is the district road LI 16 (formerly B 31 , B 31 old), which despite the relocation of the federal highway as a dual carriageway near Bruggach still brings with it a high volume of traffic in Enzisweiler. This is particularly problematic when the B 31n is closed (e.g. after accidents), as the LI 16 is then used as a bypass.

Local public transport (ÖPNV)

The district of Ebnet (Enzisweiler and Hoyerberg via a few minutes' walk) is served by line 4 of the Lindau city bus every half hour. The RBA buses run hourly through the districts of Enzisweiler and Bettnau / Hochsträß, as well as the main town of Bodolz. The other localities remain undeveloped in terms of local transport.

Despite the immediate vicinity of the course book routes 970 ( Allgäubahn ), 970.1 ( Allgäu-Franken-Express ) and 971, there is no stopping point for trains going to Lindau or Hergatz in Bodolz . Only Enzisweiler on the Friedrichshafen – Lindau railway line has an irregular stopping point for regional trains at the old station building, from which the points and signals are still manually operated mechanically.
