history

Dettingen

Former municipal coat of arms and today's local coat of arms

Coat of arms of the von Tettingen family

Dettingen is located about five kilometers northwest of the Konstanz city limits, on a ridge of the Bodanrück between Unter and Obersee .

The village name Tettingen appears for the first time in a document from the year 730 in connection with the Christianization of the Alemannic area . The village Dettingen was 839 by the king of the Frankish Empire and Emperor Louis the Pious the monastery Reichenau given. Previously, the place had apparently belonged to the Carolingian royal palace Bodman , also called bodema or bodama . The name of the place Döttingen in Switzerland opposite Waldshut-Tiengen is also derived from Dettingen . From 1239, members of the von Thettingen family were named there in documents.

The Rohnhauser Hof between Dettingen and Langenrain is 570 m above sea level. NN the highest point in the city of Constance. On the Ameisenberg (part of the community forest , towards Allensbach ) there is a field of burial mounds from the Hallstatt period , which suggests Celtic inhabitants.

Wallhausen

In the area of today's Wallhausen a Stone Age settlement through pile dwellings on the shore of the lake has already been proven.

Wallhausen was first mentioned in a document as Villa Walarhusin in 1187. Emperor Barbarossa signed a certificate there. A memorial in the center of Wallhausen at the Linzgaublick bus stop reminds of this today . There were two castles in the Wallhausen district : Alt-Dettingen and Neu-Dettingen , today's Burghof , located above the lake shore towards Bodman and revived since 2006 as a tavern, beer garden and popular hiker's home . Both castles went down in the 14th century.

Burkhardt von Tettingen transferred his inheritance to his wife and daughters, who 16 years later sold Wallhausen Castle to the Kommende Mainau and thus became the property of the Teutonic Order . Like many places on Lake Constance, Wallhausen was plundered in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War and the population decimated. The castle was rebuilt in its current location in 1661. In 1805, the entire property of Mainau, including Wallhausen, was transferred to the Grand Duchy of Baden as part of the Peace of Pressburg .

economy

Wallhausen's port was a transshipment point for wood and granite , especially the Andeerer green orthogneiss from the hinterland , until the 1950s . For a long time, the population also lived from fishing and agriculture. With the increased growth of the tourism industry, the freight port was converted into a sports boat harbor , which also houses a gas station and a shipyard .

The marina in Wallhausen

The port also serves as a point of contact for the Überlinger ferry. In 1988 Dettingen-Wallhausen was given the title of resort and parts of the population live from tourism.

The district of Dettingen has an above-average infrastructure in terms of the number of inhabitants with traditional merchants and handicraft businesses. There is also a small industrial area in Dettingen . However, the majority of the residents work in the core city of Constance. In Wallhausen, which no longer had a retail outlet after the last local supplier closed in 2007, a working group was set up in May 2008 to set up a cooperative village shop.

The postcode of Dettingen-Wallhausen is 78465, the telephone code 07533 (local network Allensbach). DSL connections have been available since 2006 .
