history

Burgstall, today a beer garden

The castle of the Lords of Raderach was built on the Drumlin , where Friedrichshafen's Raderach district is still located today . It is mentioned for the first time in 1254 and is apparently the successor to Altraderach Castle , which is known in the region as Heidenschlösschen and is located about eight hundred meters southwest on the Kluftern district .

Information about the original castle is not available. It initially belonged to the Lords of Raderach and was sold by Werner von Raderach to Bishop of Konstanz in 1287 , but apparently still inhabited by him, as he was still in Nova Radirai in 1293 handing over goods to the Salem monastery. The Bishops of Constance pledged the castle in 1324 to Canon Albrecht Schenk von Beienburg . In 1347 knight Konrad von Riet undertook to the bishop to keep the castle in good structural condition. In 1438 the castle came to a citizen of Ravensburg and will probably be converted into a country palace in the 15th century. A map of Lake Constance from 1587 already shows the design shown above with stepped gables. A residential castle , which was sold in 1824, can also be seen on a votive picture from 1744 . In 1836 it was demolished because the last owner of the castle, Vinzenz Brugger, apparently believed the rumors that a treasure was hidden in the walls. He had it removed stone by stone and the demolition material was used to build the Krone Inn, the neighboring farm and the Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary . From the original castle chapel , the trinity picture above the altar, which presumably comes from the workshop of Jörg Zürn from Überlingen , a crucifixion group , a chalice that bears the year 1695 and a votive picture from 1744, which tells of the healing of an illness, taken over into the new chapel. In the cellar of the Gasthaus Krone you can still see the deep well, which supplied the castle with water all year round and was once outside the castle. According to recent investigations, the well was built about 60 meters deep and almost reaches lake level. The garden restaurant of the Gasthaus Krone is located on the site of the residential castle. The location is still recognizable today through well-preserved, artificially steep slopes and a shallow moat .

Trivia

Former castle fountain

Local tradition puts the story of Rosa von Tannenburg on the "Old Castle" (Tannenburg) and the "New Castle" (Fichtenburg). As a result, there is a Fichtenburgstrasse in Raderach, and a Tannenburgstrasse in Unterraderach, which is closer to the “Old Castle”. When visiting wells, a hook is still shown today, which, according to the legend widespread in southern Germany , is said to have caught the son of the knight who lived here in a fall.
