Gunzoburg
The Gunzoburg is a medieval patrician house in the Baden-Württemberg city of Überlingen on Lake Constance . An inscription at the entrance says that this house is said to have been the residence of Duke Gunzo , Duke of Swabia and Alemannia , in 641 .
"Gunzo, Duke of Swabia and Alemannia, resided in this castle in 641."
However, the following speaks against the claim:
- The house does not date from the 7th century, as the inscription suggests, but from the 13th or 14th century at the earliest.
- Independent dukes of Alemannia have not existed since the 6th century, dukes of Swabia since the 9th century at the earliest, so the title is ambiguous.
- Gunzo can also not be clearly identified among the dukes of the 7th century (who were dependent on the disintegrated Franconian central power).
Today the Gunzoburg houses a gallery.
