Special phases in the local history

For the documentation of the pile dwellings in the lake area in front of Hagnau, stone tools and Bronze Age finds (e.g. lance tip, mythical creatures) were continuously collected and made available by Hagnau Fridolin Knoblauch.

The origin of the custom of the ice procession over the frozen Lake Constance at the centennial event of the Seegfrörne with the bust of St. John, according to the museum's documents, goes back to February 17, 1573, when the image of St. John was carried from Münsterlingen in Switzerland to Hagnau. According to the documents, the other processions then followed: in 1684 from Hagnau to Münsterlingen, on February 6, 1830 from Münsterlingen to Hagnau. (On February 7, 1880, the ice procession was officially prohibited, but some Hagnau men still dared to cross the lake). On February 12, 1963, around 3,000 people from Münsterlingen brought the bust from Hagnau to Münsterlingen.
