Friedrichshafen history trail
The Friedrichshafen history trail provides information on historically significant locations and buildings in the Baden-Württemberg city of Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance in Germany .
The “Geschichtspfad” project arose in 1996 from a working group of the municipal adult education center and the city archive . Information compiled by the city's citizens is now documented on more than fifty information boards at original locations in the inner city of Friedrichshafen and the closer districts behind the facades of the former Free Imperial City . Due to the many changes caused by urban development since the 19th century and the destruction in the Second World War, historical representations or pictures are shown on all panels .
History of the city of Friedrichshafen
Friedrichshafen was created in 1811 through the merger of the former Free Imperial City of Buchhorn (from which it took over the coat of arms ) and the nearby village and monastery of Hofen ; the city was after the first Württemberg King I. Friedrich named. It benefited from King Friedrich above all in economic aspects. Friedrichshafen was a privileged free port and transshipment point for trade with Switzerland . This attracted new settlers who settled in Karlstrasse and Friedrichstrasse, thus connecting the districts of Buchhorn and Hofen . In the 19th century the city served the Württemberg monarchs as a summer residence; the former Hofen monastery was converted into a royal palace. A new economic boom began under King Wilhelm I. a. reflected in the purchase of the steamship Wilhelm . In addition, the castle attracted many foreigners to Friedrichshafen, including the first tourists, ministers and high officials who had their villas built in the vicinity of the castle.
The industrialization of Friedrichshafen was mainly shaped by Ferdinand von Zeppelin . The Count, who was born in Constance , established the production of his famous rigid airships , the zeppelins , here in the last years of the 19th century . On July 2, 1900, the 128-meter-long LZ1 rose for the first time from its launch area in Manzell Bay.
Before the Second World War, Friedrichshafen served the National Socialists primarily as a place of relaxation for the many workers. The industry that was converted to war armaments also grew steadily. Four large arms factories made Friedrichshafen an important arms location in the German Reich :
- Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH ; Manufacturer of radar systems , direction finding systems, parachutes and parts for aircraft and rocket construction
- Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH; Manufacture of all engines for tracked vehicles of the Wehrmacht
- Zahnradfabrik AG ; Manufacture of gearboxes for heavy vehicles
- Dornier-Werke GmbH; Aircraft construction
The production facilities of the elementary armaments industry were the reason why Friedrichshafen was the target of eleven Allied air raids between June 1943 and February 1945 . The most serious of these attacks took place on the night of April 28, 1944, when the core of the old town fell victim to it. The determined action of the citizens and the mayor, contrary to the order to defend Friedrichshafen to the last house, prevented the complete destruction of the city. Two thirds of Friedrichshafen was destroyed during the Second World War. The first important act of reconstruction was clearing the city. For this purpose, a narrow-gauge railway was built , with the help of which the entire old town was cleared by 1949. In 1950, the planning of the new construction began, which mainly included better traffic conditions and green spaces. This construction phase was completed with the inauguration of the new town hall in 1956.
The city consists of the core city and the municipalities of Ailingen , Ettenkirch , Kluftern and Raderach , which were incorporated as part of the municipal reform of the 1970s . These incorporated communities are localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code; that is, they each have one of the persons entitled to vote in a municipal election to be elected Ortschaftsrat with a mayor as its chairman. In every village there is a local administration, the head of which is the mayor.
Almost all parts of the city and the core city still have many spatially separated residential areas with their own names, which often have only a few residents, or residential areas whose names were created in the course of development and then retained - and whose boundaries are often not precisely defined. In some cases, these are also formerly independent communities or parts of communities that were incorporated into the municipality in the first half of the 20th century or that merged with other communities. The following are to be mentioned in detail:
| Part location | Living spaces |

Course of the history trail
The following list first lists all stations in the inner city area, then the suburbs or residential areas in alphabetical order.
Downtown
Within the city center, the approximately three-kilometer-long history trail runs from the “Eastern Shore Road” along the lake to the castle church of the former Hofen monastery and on via the old cemetery to the city train station.
Old Town Hall - panel 1.1
In 1906/07 the “Old Town Hall” was built on the site of the town hall from 1828, designed by the Stuttgart architects Ludwig Eisenlohr and Carl Weigle . The eye-catcher in the lavishly designed southern front was the frieze painted by August Brandes across the entire width, “ The tribute of the Buchhorn and Hofen professions to King Friedrich von Württemberg, the founder of Friedrichshafen ”. A market hall and a police station were located on the ground floor. The ruins of the town hall, which was destroyed by an air raid on April 28, 1944, were removed in 1949 to enlarge the square.
New Town Hall - Plate 1.2
The New Town Hall was built between 1954 and 1956 according to plans by the Stuttgart architects Ludwig Hilmar Kresse (1914–1985) and Wilhelm Tiedje (1898–1987). The inauguration took place on September 23, 1956.
Catholic Parish Church of St. Nicholas - Plate 1.3
A churchyard was already occupied in Buchhorn in 1293, a Nikolauskapelle was first mentioned in 1325, a new building with a late Gothic choir and tower was built between 1437 and 1494, the central nave was built in the 16th century. In 1594 - the Buchhorn parish separated from the Hofener parish - St. Nicholas became the parish church. In 1745/46 the nave was given its current form, the appearance was fundamentally changed by a Baroque transformation, the interior of the church was given in the neo-renaissance style in the 19th century.
The church was destroyed by air raids in April 1944, so that from August 1946 the reconstruction, which concluded with the consecration of the altar on October 10, 1949, took place. The interior was given its current shape when it was renovated in 1960 and 1989.
Swan Fountain - Table 1.5
In September 1958 - after the construction of the New Town Hall - the swan fountain designed by the sculptor Fritz Melis was set up on Adenauerplatz. The original fountain contained the four bronze swans in the basin, in 1993/94 the fountain was moved to its current location on the northern church square.

Buchhorn city wall - Plate 1.10
Around the middle of the 13th century, the first wall ring was probably built around Buchhorn, which was first mentioned as a town in 1241. The city wall (see picture) ran from the “Untertor” along today's “Schanzstrasse” to the “Powder or Thief Tower”, diagonally to “Wilhelmstrasse” and the “Obertor”. The south wall followed the lake shore. The east wall with the “lake or doorway” - it offered the only way to get into the city at night through an additional built-in door - corresponded to the current boundaries of “Buchhornplatz”. During the Thirty Years War, the Swedish occupation of the city built additional entrenchments in front of the city wall.
The new connecting road Buchhorn-Hofen had to give way in 1812 to the “Untertor”, the “Obertor” was demolished in 1842, the “Diebesturm” in 1845, the “Seetor” in 1853. As a result of the air raids in 1944, many parts of the city wall were destroyed. Today, in addition to foundations, only remnants of the former city fortifications between the former hospital and rectory and on Seestrasse can be seen in several places.

Old rectory - Plate 1.11
The Hofen monastery acquired the building in 1431 from a family of boatmen and moved the parish seat from Hofen here to Buchhorn. In the years 1519 and 1587 - a coat of arms stone above the entrance door reminds of the building work - renovations were carried out at the expense of the monastery, in whose and possession of the Weingarten monastery the house remained until 1802. From 1805 to 1971 the old rectory was owned by the state.
Former hospital - Plate 1.12
The former Heilig-Geist-Spital was first mentioned in 1427; In the area of today's junction "Ufer -" / "Seestrasse" it was used to accommodate the needy and sick. After two fires (1584 and 1738), it was rebuilt as a two-story house in the south-west corner of the city fortifications . From 1892 until it was destroyed on July 20, 1944, after the Karl Olga Hospital had been occupied, the hospital was run as an old people's home. The ruins were torn down in 1955, only the former city wall on the lake side remained. In the 1980s the area was rebuilt.
Former Gredhaus and post office - Plate 1.13
The Gredhaus, first mentioned in 1387, served as a warehouse until 1811 for the handling of goods between land and water transport. For almost a hundred years until it was demolished in 1905, the building served, among other things, as an office building, was owned by an innkeeper, the customs administration and the post and telegraph authorities.
Harbor - Plate 1.14
Since 1811 ran planning, Friedrichshafen to the trade hub in trade of the Kingdom of Württemberg with Switzerland to make. After the first steamer had been built in 1824, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a harbor basin took place in 1847. The lighthouse built around 1850 on the southern pier was demolished in 1882. After a single-track connection of the port station to the city station, there was a rail ferry connection to Romanshorn from 1869 to 1976 . Around 1900 the harbor basin got its present shape after two extensions. The old south pier was replaced by a new building in 1999.
Former Salzstadel - Plate 1.15
In 1755, Maximilian III closed. Joseph , Elector of Bavaria, thirteen cantons of Switzerland and the then city of Buchhorn signed a salt contract. As a result, a 95-meter-long salt barn was built as a warehouse in 1759/60 . Until it was destroyed during the Second World War , the building gave the cityscape a special look. After demolition work until 1972, the Kreissparkasse and later today's “ Medienhaus k42 ” were rebuilt at this point .
Former port station - panel 1.16
A railroad track was laid from the city station to the port in 1849. The port station in its current form was built by the Reichsbahndirektion Stuttgart between 1931 and 1933 , badly damaged in air raids during the Second World War in 1944 and rebuilt in its old form after the end of the war. The Zeppelin Museum has been located in the former port station since 1996 .

Former kite station - Table 1.19
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin needed more precise measurements of the weather and especially the wind forecasts for his airships . Therefore, on 1 April 1908 field sea / Eastern coastal road , the weather station also "dragon station" Friedrichshafen, called, opened. To determine the data, kites and balloons were let up with measuring instruments from the specially built screw steamer Gna . In 1911 the weather station was expanded to include a balloon hall and a lattice mast with measuring devices. The data was then transmitted daily to the meteorological stations between Hamburg and Zurich . In 1934 the "dragon station" was replaced by the newly built " aerological observatory" and from 1944 by a weather station in Eckenerstraße . In March 1965 the "dragon station" was torn down.
Marienbrunnen - Plate 1.21

The factory was founded in 1859 by Hans Heinrich Hüni (1816–1894) from Horgen on Lake Zurich , and the late Classicist villa was built eight years later. As a global supplier of sole and upper leather , the company developed into Friedrichshafen's second largest employer at the beginning of the 20th century. After the surface technology department had been founded in 1959 , leather production was discontinued in 1965, taking into account the changed market situation.

Former Hofen Monastery - Table 2.1
Countess Bertha von Buchhorn donated the Hofen Benedictine monastery, first mentioned in 1089. It was located in the area of the Buchhorner Grafensitz, on the site of today's castle, around 1101 it was subordinated to the Benedictine Abbey of Weingarten. During the Thirty Years' War the entire village of Hofen and the old monastery buildings are destroyed by the Swedes. A new building for the administration of the monastery property was built by 1661. From 1695, Weingarten had a much larger monastery built by Christian Thumb , which after the inauguration in 1702 was occupied by a men's convent as the Hofen priory. In 1802 this, together with Weingarten, fell to the Prince of Orange-Nassau, who immediately had it canceled. The Friedrichshafen Castle of the House of Württemberg was created from the baroque monastery complex. The former monastery church has been used as the parish church of the Evangelical parish in Friedrichshafen since 1812.

Evangelical Castle Church - Plate 2.2
Today's palace church was built between 1695 and 1702 according to plans by the architect Christian Thumb , who came from Au in the Bregenzerwald , and was consecrated on October 8, 1702 with the patronage of St. Andreas and Panthaleon . The stucco work was created by Johann Schmuzer and his sons. The roof structure, parts of the south tower, organ and pews fell victim to an air raid on April 28, 1944. An emergency roof could only be built in 1947/48. In 1951 the church was reopened, and in 1959 the exterior renovation came to an end with the construction of the new church roof.
Friedrichshafen Palace - Table 2.3
Friedrichshafen Castle, also known as Hofen Monastery , is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1085 on the western edge of the city center. After various possessions and the merger of the village of Hofen with the city of Buchhorn to form the city of Friedrichshafen (1810/11), the monastery complex was assigned to the Württemberg court domain chamber and the church was made available to the newly founded Protestant parish of Friedrichshafen. From the summer of 1824, the monastery complex was converted into a summer residence for the kings of Württemberg. Since then the Hofen monastery has been referred to as "Friedrichshafen Castle" and the church as the "Castle Church". The castle is still managed by the House of Württemberg as a private property today .
Former customs house - panel 2.5
At the end of 1805, Württemberg received its first access to Lake Constance when Upper Austria was divided into Hofen. King Friedrich then ordered, among other things, the expansion of the port facilities: Trade across the lake was to be directed to the now Württemberg area and withdrawn from the then Bavarian town of Buchhorn. The customs office at the castle was retained even after Buchhorn passed to Württemberg (1810). The customs house, which was new from the Royal Cameral Office in Tettnang in 1856 , had several offices and an apartment for the customs collector. From 1906 it was called " Royal Second Customs Office II Schloss Friedrichshafen ". After this office was closed in 1933, the building has been privately owned since 1976.
Old cemetery - Plate 2.11
The burials took place in the area of today's castle until 1634 , then the cemetery was laid out by the Hofen monastery for the places Hofen, Seemoos, Windhag and Trautenmühle. From 1812 the dead from all over Friedrichshafen were buried here. Despite some extensions in the 19th century, the area remained too small, so that in 1898 the construction of today's main cemetery began. From then until 1956, only family graves were allowed to be occupied in the old cemetery. The soldiers' graves in the First World War for 34 dead in the Friedrichshafen hospital were an exception. In the summer of 1967, around 80 percent of the remaining 548 grave sites were cleared and the cemetery was converted into a park. The cemetery chapel “St. John of Nepomuk ”was preserved.

Linden fountain - Plate 2.12
For centuries, the Hofener village linden stood here and next to it a pump well, which was also used as a cattle trough, with a cast iron column and handle. In 1924, during sewer works , the well was covered and not rediscovered until 1959. In 1979 the fountain had to give way to an extension of the carriageway and was given its current shape in 1984.
During the carnival time, the “ Buchhorn witches ” are baptized here, which is why the fountain is also called “ Witches' Fountain ”.
Schlossberg Bridge - Table 2.21
As a result of the state contract signed in December 1873 for the construction of the Stahringen – Friedrichshafen railway line , the cut between Schmidstrasse and Zeppelinstrasse had to be excavated from March 1900. The cut as well as the two bridges in Schlossstrasse and Werastrasse were completed in just five months. The line was opened in early October 1901.

Former Villa Winz - Plate 2.22
The Stuttgart architects Friedrich Eugen Scholer and Paul Bonatz drew up the plans for the villa built in 1915 by Theodor Winz, who worked for the Zeppelin Group from 1913 to 1919. In 1938 the state acquired this outstanding private building and operated the state health department there until 1998.
Former Hotel Deutsches Haus - panel 3.2
After an expansion from 1848, the “Deutsches Haus” hotel was run in the settler's house built by Johann Kaufmann in 1812, and a post office was added five years later . Until 1918, the post office and hotel building served equally, and was even considered the best hotel in town. Then the city of Friedrichshafen, which among other things rented apartments there, ran the district employment office and set up a people's kitchen for the needy, took over the house. In April 1944 the building was completely destroyed in an air raid. After the ruins were demolished, the property served as a parking lot until 1992, and the newly built “Seehotel” has stood here since 1995.
Stadtbahnhof - panel 3.3
The oldest station building on Lake Constance was built in 1846/1847 according to plans by the Stuttgart architect and senior building officer Ludwig Friedrich von Gaab and opened on November 8, 1847 with the first section of the southern railway to Ravensburg . In the course of the completion of the line coming from Überlingen, the station building was extended by two side wings by 1901.

Queen Paulinenstift - plate 3.10
The Paulinenstift started out in rented rooms: it was here that Queen Pauline von Württemberg founded a secondary school for girls in 1856 . By 1936 the facility was expanded to include a boarding school, household class, garden hall, kindergarten as well as a gymnasium and festival hall. In 1936 - like all private schools - the girls' secondary school was closed. Five years after the end of the war, it was rebuilt as a retirement home and household school.

Former Villa Bühler-Scupin - Plate 3.14
Karl Gustav Friedrich von Bühler (* 1817 in Stuttgart, † 1892 in Friedrichshafen) was domain director and member of the German Reichstag . In 1885 he received permission to build a villa on the shores of Lake Constance. His granddaughter Dora Bühler-Scupin made the building and the surrounding park a cultural and social center. On May 28, 1944, the villa was completely destroyed by explosive bombs .
Kaiser Wilhelm Monument - Plate 3.16
The city garden has had a monument in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm (1797–1888), the first head of the Second German Empire since 1871, in the city garden . Due to family ties to the Baden family , he often came to Lake Constance and the island of Mainau . After the Emperor's death, the Friedrichshafen Beautification Association decided to erect a monument. The bronze bust designed by the Friedrichshafen-born sculptor Bruno Diamant (1867–1942) stands on a base made of Belgian granite . The memorial was unveiled on July 3, 1889 in the rondelle on the Kohlbach.
Gustav Schwab Memorial Stone - Plate 3.17
The memorial stone, also designed by Bruno Diamant, commemorating the Swabian poet Gustav Schwab (1792–1850), was erected in 1895 by the Friedrichshafen Beautification Association in the park of the municipal Kurhaus (see Plate 3.12). Consisting of copper driven relief on roughly hewn limestone block shows the portrait of the Schwäbischen poet school calculated parson and writer . With his legends of classical antiquity (1838-1840) he created a classic of German-language children's and youth literature . He is remembered by the people of Lake Constance through his ballad The Rider and Lake Constance and the "first travel guide to Lake Constance" published in 1827. The memorial stone found its current location in 1912 when it was moved to the new Uferstrasse.
War memorial - Plate 3.18
The war memorial in the eastern city park was originally planned for the old cemetery. The competition held in 1929 was won by the sculptor Erwin Dauner from Ludwigsburg (design) and the Fischbacher sculptor Josef Heckler (execution). The monument, carved from tuff , was inaugurated on the Sunday of the Dead in 1930. It did not renounce the customary honoring of the fallen soldiers of the First World War and is committed to the "defiant nevertheless" in the memory of the dead of the Weimar Republic: A determined looking warrior ties his wounded arm, ready to continue for the fatherland "against a world of enemies" fight. Originally, nameplates were not used, as was often the case elsewhere in view of the many dead. On the day of national mourning in 2004, six steles were erected around the memorial on a private initiative . These bear the names of the dead Friedrichshafen soldiers and civilians who perished during the two world wars.
Zeppelin fountain - Plate 3.19
The merchant Alois Vollenweider (1845–1917) had a new fountain built where the market fountain used to stand in front of the old town hall . The Munich sculptor Bruno Diamant created it from Lyon limestone . The fountain, inaugurated on July 24, 1909 and named after Count Zeppelin, showed a boy, holding a zeppelin in his hands, standing on a globe. In 1956 the fountain was demolished, but the uppermost part was used in a new Zeppelin fountain (1961-2000) that stood on the church square. For the 100th anniversary of the first ascent of the airship, the original fountain was reconstructed and set up at the current location between Friedrichstrasse and the riverside.

Due to the strong increase in parishioners, the planning of a new church building began at the beginning of the 20th century. Interrupted by the First World War, the church foundation council decided in 1926 to build it at the current location on the corner of Charlottenstrasse and Katharinenstrasse. After the laying of the foundation stone on October 9, 1927 by Bishop Joannes Baptista Sproll , the clinker building planned by Hugo Schlösser was inaugurated about a year later, on November 25, 1928 . Badly damaged by air raids during World War II, the church was extensively renovated in 1968 and 1995.

The railway repair shop was put into operation in November 1847 at the end of the southern runway. Initially, only Wuerttemberg rail vehicles came to Friedrichshafen for maintenance, after the merging of the regional railways, locomotives and wagons from all regional railways also came. After partial destruction in the Second World War, it served the French occupation troops as a central workshop until 1952. Due to a lack of capacity, the plant in Cannstatt was incorporated in 1960 before it was finally closed on December 31, 1974.

Former Löwental Monastery - Table 5.1
The monastery Löwental was a convent of Dominican nuns . It was founded in 1250 in the eponymous Löwental, in the immediate vicinity of the free imperial city of Buchhorn at the time , after the imperial ministerial Johannes von Ravensburg-Löwental donated his Eichstegen-Löwental castle , located on the Rotach , to the Dominicans of Constance and at the same time joined their order. The building was completely destroyed by two fires in 1304, but was soon rebuilt. In 1447 the monastery had to be renovated again. 37 years later, the work, for the financing of which some properties were sold, was completed. Further fires in 1609 and during the Thirty Years' War made the monastery uninhabitable, and a monastery made available by the Bishop of Constance could only accommodate a few nuns. In 1659 nuns moved back into the new building, and in 1687 the baroque church was consecrated. Up until the secularization , the monastery’s fortunes grew steadily, especially through the important pharmacy; In 1695 it owned 64 fiefdoms . After an inspection by a Württemberg commissioner, the monastery was dissolved in the summer of 1806, and all of its assets and property went to the Württemberg house. The nuns were initially assured that they could continue to live in the monastery. They also received an annual pension. However, when King Friedrich decided in 1812 to build barracks in the former monastery building, they had to leave the monastery. Some of them moved to the Kirchheim monastery and some of them left the order. The furnishings of the monastery were immediately auctioned and the building was rebuilt. It was not until 1814 that the 2nd Battalion of the Württemberg Infantry Regiment No. 10 moved into the barracks. After the war against France, two years later, the facility was empty again. The church inventory that had been preserved until then was auctioned off and distributed to the surrounding communities. Since no buyer could be found for the building, now known as “Schloss Löwental”, the mill was sold separately, the buildings partially torn down or converted into farms. Today the Trautenmühle and part of the monastery wall still exist. The “Zum Klosterwirt” inn also bears witness to the past. Coordinates “Former Löwental Monastery” ; today: Flugplatzstrasse
