Eigolteshoven was first mentioned in 1125. In the early Middle Ages, Egelshofen belonged to the Konstanzer Bischofshöri and later to the Eggen Vogtei , which was a place of execution in the late Middle Ages . Eggen was pledged to the nobles von Klingenberg in the 14th century and half of it came to the city ​​of Constance in 1449 ; Constance acquired the other half in 1542 from Sebastian Muntprat . As the owner of the Thurgau regional court , Konstanz abolished the high court in 1453 . 1499, the district court went to the ten most Maleficent participating federal locations in Thurgau . The lower court rights of the Bailiwick remained with Konstanz until 1798. The Fischenzen, the tavern in Egelshofen, the Hörnli, the Geissberg Castle and some courtyards belonged to the lower jurisdiction of the Kreuzlingen Monastery until 1798 . In the Helvetic Republic the elected municipality consisted of the former mayor, the parish administrator and former judges.

Until 1125 Egelshofen belonged to the parish of St. Paul in Konstanz, after which the new Kreuzlingen monastery was responsible. The parish turned to the evangelical faith early on, and the preacher preached in the collegiate church. In 1532, however, the Reformed had to do without this and were given the church of St. Jodok in Constance for use. When Constance returned to the Catholic faith in 1548, its magistrate forbade the Reformed Church to enter the church. In 1549 the monastery ceded the Kurzrickenbach chapel to them and paid 32 guilders a year to the parish salary. The pastor of Scherzingen provided pastoral care until 1709 , after which the parish hired a pastor. In 1629 the Reformed received a cemetery in Egelshofen. Thanks to the Fourth Peace of 1712, Egelshofen received its own Reformed church in 1724. Women's communities in Egelshofen chose midwives in the 18th century.

The three-part economy shaped land use; In addition to agriculture, viticulture, fruit growing and cattle breeding were also carried out. The teachers ' college was founded in 1833, an agricultural school in 1835 and the Bellevue sanatorium in 1857 by the psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger . In 1871 and 1875 the Romanshorn – Konstanz and Konstanz – Schaffhausen lines were opened. In 1874 Egelshofen became the municipality of Kreuzlingen .
