The island of Lindau on an engraving by Merian in 1643, still without a railway embankment. The small lake is to the right of the Landtorbrücke . |
The small lake is the lake part of the Obersee ( Bodensee ) between the island of Lindau in the south and the Aeschach district on the mainland in the north. It measures around 20 hectares in area .
The small lake belongs to the urban area of Lindau (Bodensee) . In terms of surveying technology, it is divided into two parcels of almost the same size . The southern parcel belongs to the district of Lindau (island), the northern to the district of Aeschach.
To the east, the small lake is bordered by the 160 meter long, 17 meter wide Landtorbrücke (called " Seebrücke " in Lindau parlance ), which runs from north-east to south- west, over which the Chelles-Allee runs today, although the city and district boundaries are round 15 meters further east runs parallel to the bridge. A bridge has existed at this point since the 13th century, but the name Kleiner See predates the existence of a bridge. The current bridge was built in 1999/2000 and replaces a predecessor structure erected in 1927, which was much narrower and ultimately restricted in its load-bearing capacity.
In the west, the Lindau Bodenseedamm, completed in 1854, forms the border, which mainly serves the railroad , but also has a footpath and cycle path on its eastern flank. The building has two small, little-used passages of boats that also the silting prevent the little lake.

As "Kleiner See" is still today the area of water between the island of Lindau and the Aeschach mainland - now disturbed by a bridge (since the 13th century) and railway embankment (since the 19th century). Since the creation of the forged document and especially since the founding of the monastery, this "small lake" has shrunk considerably. This concise description of the location of the document makes it clear that the "monastery island" was located seaward from today's island of Lindau, because a whitse presupposes a nearer or smaller "lake". - ^ New pier in Lindau.
