history
For the first time the settlement was called Adlikusen in 1331 . Ellighausen originally belonged to the Konstanzer Bischofshöri . Part of the Eggen Vogtei by the middle of the 13th century at the latest , in 1447 it came under the jurisdiction of the city of Constance Raitiamt , where it remained until 1798. The rights of the community were laid down in the court opening in 1490 and in a community letter in 1677.
Ellighausen was parish first to St. Stephan in Konstanz, then to Tägerwilen , and since the 13th century always to Alterswilen. After the Reformation in 1529, the few Catholics went to church in Bernrain , and since 1831 they have belonged to the parish of Emmishofen .
In the 19th century, the cattle and dairy industry replaced grain growing in three tents , and between 1967 and 1887 goods were amalgamated. The Dickenmann nurseries, founded in 1973, cover a quarter of Switzerland's fruit tree needs. The Neumühle built in 1729 on the Furtibach went back in 1984; the dammed brook is now used to raise young fish. Hand embroidery flourished in Ellighausen from 1870 to 1910. At the end of the 20th century, Ellighausen was still dominated by agriculture.
