Kreuzlingen is a political municipality and the capital of the district of the same name in the Swiss canton of Thurgau . From 1927 to 2002 Kreuzlingen was a unified municipality .
With around 22,000 inhabitants, Kreuzlingen is the second largest city in the canton and the largest Swiss city on Lake Constance .

With 55.0 percent foreigners, Kreuzlingen is one of the Swiss cities with the highest proportion of foreigners.
geography
Kreuzlingen is located in the north of the canton of Thurgau on the shores of Lake Constance, southeast of the German city of Konstanz and directly adjoining its medieval core. With evidence of a small village structure, Kreuzlingen is located on hillside locations that were once overgrown with vines, surrounded by forests on the hilltops in the south and strongly rural areas behind, with the open, wide Lake Constance to the east and the areas around Seerhein and Untersee to the west.
To the north, the state border with Germany runs through what is now densely built-up area. In the years before the Second World War , the southern border of the city was secured with the Kreuzlingen fortress belt as a defense against an attack from Germany , and the area between the two cities was cut up by a border fence in 1942 (and until August 2006) . In the west Kreuzlingen borders on the Tägermoos and Tägerwilen , in the east the community Bottighofen is close to Kreuzlingen .
Kreuzlingen has an area of 11.50 square kilometers and is 397 m above sea level. M. height (port).
history
The name comes from the Augustinian canons “crucelin”. It was founded in 1125 by Bishop Ulrich I. von Kyburg-Dillingen from Constance and originally stood one kilometer northwest of today's location. During the Swabian War and during the Thirty Years 'War after the siege of Constance by the Swedes, the Augustinian Canons' Monastery was burned down by Constance residents because they accused the monastery of having been a base for the enemy. In 1650 the monastery was rebuilt at its present location. After secularization in 1848, the Thurgau teachers' seminar moved into the premises; today it is the pedagogical maturity school at the Kreuzlingen seminar (PMS). The former monastery church is now a Catholic parish church.
The area of Kreuzlingen was settled as early as the Bronze Age. Celtic coins and finds from Roman times testify to continuous settlement up to the establishment of the Alemanni . Kurzrickenbach was first mentioned as Rihinbah in 830, Egelshofen in 1125 as Eigolteshoven and Emmishofen in 1159 as Eminshoven . With the exception of the Augustinian Canons' Monastery, the area of today's city was the property of the Bishop of Constance ( Bischofshöri ). With the conquest of Thurgau by the Confederates in 1460 and the Reformation , ties to the neighboring city loosened. At the beginning of the 19th century, today's center of Kreuzlingen was largely arable land, meadows and vineyards. There were 13 houses around the monastery. Egelshofen had about 50 houses, Emmishofen and Kurzrickenbach each about 90 houses. With the reorganization of Europe, Kreuzlingen became a border region. The first customs house was built in 1818. The first steamships that operated on Lake Constance from 1824 and the construction of the railway lines to Romanshorn (1871) and Etzwilen (1875) attracted trade and industry. In 1874, Kreuzlingen became the district capital instead of Gottlieben . But until the First World War the place was a kind of suburb of Constance; Industry in Kreuzlingen was almost exclusively in the hands of German entrepreneurs. It was only when the border was closed during the war that Kreuzlingen became more independent.
The Bellevue Sanatorium (1857–1980) plays a prominent role in the cultural history of Kreuzlingen : Ignaz Vanotti from Konstanz bought a large piece of land in 1842 in the barely built-up area of the old Kreuzlingen Monastery and built a residential and commercial building on it in 1843 for the Bellevue emigrant printing company which was previously set up in the Roman castle. In 1857 Ludwig Binswanger (1820–1880), who had been a psychiatrist in Münsterlingen since 1850 , acquired the property and opened a "private institution for the sick and fostered people from the better classes in Switzerland and abroad". The modern clinic remained under the leadership of the Binswanger for almost 120 years a healing and research center, in which important chapters of psychiatry were lived and written. In 1980 it ceased operations. Of the numerous buildings in the sanatorium, only a few are left today. Residential buildings were built on the site in the 1990s.

coat of arms
Blazon : split from white with a red cross and red with a white abbot's staff .
The coat of arms was adopted by the canons of Kreuzlingen, which was repealed in 1848 . Red and white ( livery colors ) symbolize innocence and the shed blood of Jesus . The cross on the right can be derived from crucelin , the crosier on the left highlights the monastic past of the place.
Incorporation and change of borders
The then small settlement of Kreuzlingen was initially part of the Egelshofen community . In 1874 the local and municipal community of Egelshofen changed its name to Kreuzlingen and at the same time Kreuzlingen was named the district capital instead of Gottlieben .
In 1879, the border between Switzerland and the German Empire in the area of the Konstanz train station was regulated. The city of Konstanz ceded an area of 10 ares without inhabitants in 1878, while the local community of Kreuzlingen ceded an area of 8.48 ares with 12 inhabitants in the following year.
Kreuzlingen developed into a town in the 20th century with Bernrain , Egelshofen, Emmishofen and Kurzrickenbach . In 1927, through the merger of the local communities Kreuzlingen and Kurzrickenbach (in the east), the unified community of Kreuzlingen was formed. In 1928 it was joined by the former community of Emmishofen (in the west). In 1947 Kreuzlingen became a city when the 10'000. Resident was registered.

Viticulture
For centuries, the residents of the communities Emmishofen, Egelshofen and Kurzrickenbach lived mainly from viticulture. Most of the wine produced was exported to Germany across the lake. The area of today's city of Kreuzlingen consisted of a single vineyard for almost half a millennium, which stretched from Bottighofen to Tägerwilen and from Hörnli am See to the Alp. The vineyards were owned by the various open spaces in the area, monasteries from neighboring Germany and the Augustinian canons of Kreuzlingen. In 1579 this alone owned 16 Torkel (wine press ) including Trotten. In 1648 there were 41 Torkels in what is now the municipality. At the end of the 19th century, crop failures, disease and advancing industrialization led to a rapid decline in the vineyards. The last vines grew in Emmishofen in 1920 at Girsberg Castle . In Kreuzlingen, the last vines on the Schelmenhalde were cleared in 1938, but two new vineyards have recently emerged, one on the southern edge of the Seeburg Park (0.5 hectares) with four organic grape varieties and a small field above the town in Bernrain the observatory (planetarium) .

traffic
Kreuzlingen is a railway junction. This is where the lake line (Rorschach – Schaffhausen) meets the Kreuzlingen – Konstanz and Kreuzlingen – Weinfelden railway lines . There are four stations in the city: Kreuzlingen , Kreuzlingen Hafen, Kreuzlingen Bernrain and Kurzrickenbach Seepark.
In order to relieve the binational agglomeration Konstanz-Kreuzlingen from motorized individual traffic, the construction of a S-Bahn Konstanz-Kreuzlingen is being investigated. A tram or a light rail would get the most benefit, but the high cost of the infrastructure calls into question its feasibility.
There are also two motorway connections, Kreuzlingen Süd and Kreuzlingen Nord, to the Swiss A7 motorway , which joins the A1 in Winterthur ; In the direction of Constance there is a connection to the German federal highway 33 via the large GZA (community customs facility) .

Palaces, castles, mansions
There are still ten buildings in the municipality today, which are known as a palace or castle.
Ebersberg Castle
Ebersberg Castle was formerly called Ober-Girsberg . It has been documented since the 16th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries owned by the Kunz family and therefore also called Kunzenhof . In 1816 the well-known surgeon Johann Nepomuk Sauter bought the house, which he converted into a stately villa. In 1848 the building burned down and was rebuilt. In 1867, the textile manufacturer and banker Moritz Macaire (1815–1867) from Constance bought the property for 82,000 Swiss francs , but died two months later. His heirs sold the Kunzenhof to Count Eberhard von Zeppelin , the brother of the airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin . Eberhard von Zeppelin expanded the property, had the residential building converted into a castle and named it Ebersberg based on his first name . In 1928 another renovation took place. In 1960 the castle was bought by the German industrialist Friedrich Flick , who had it gutted and refurbished according to plans by the architect Georg Felber.
Brunegg Castle
Also Schloss Brunegg is on Emmi Hofer ground. It should not be confused with the much older Brunegg Castle in the canton of Aargau . The Emmishofer Castle was formerly called Unterer Girsberg . Its predecessor was built around 1300. In 1679 it was bought by the Obermarchtal Abbey on the Danube, and the current building was erected in its place. In 1874 the psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger (1820–1880) bought the castle and named it Brunnegg. He commissioned the architect Otto Tafel from Stuttgart , who had redesigned the neighboring Castell Castle in Tägerwilen , to convert the castle. Today the Brunegg houses a hotel without a restaurant.
Girsberg Castle
Girsberg Castle was built in its current form in 1790 by the Zwiefalten Monastery as a governor's office . In the course of secularization , the castle fell to the House of Württemberg in 1803 as compensation for the loss of the county of Montbéliard . Friedrich II. , Later the first king of Württemberg, had the palace auctioned in 1803. The Geneva manufacturer and banker Jacques Louis Macaire de L'or , who had settled in Constance, bought it for 26,000 guilders and leased it the following year to Salomon Högger in Bischofszell . Later son David Macaire inherited the castle. One of his daughters, Amélie (1816–1852), married Count Friedrich von Zeppelin (1807–1886), son of the Württemberg Minister Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin (1771–1829). The couple received the Girsberg as a Christmas present (1840) and together with their children Eugenia, Eberhard and their first-born son Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin (1838–1917) took up residence at Emmishofer Castle. Ferdinand, the famous airship driver, was the sole owner of Girsberg from 1870 and he spent a lot of time on his estate, mainly in the summer months. After his death, his daughter Hella inherited the Girsberg, which she gave to her daughter Alexa in 1960. In 1983 the Girsberg became the property of Kurt Schmid-Andrist.
Roman castle
The Roman castle was previously known as Rempsberg . The earliest evidence of the house comes from the late 16th century, when Hans Kaspar Morell owned the castle. At the beginning of the 19th century, the then owner Hieronymus Girtanner gave it the name Bellevue , before it was called Römerburg from around 1880.
Gaissberg moated castle
The moated castle Gaissberg stood above the Roman castle. First mentioned in writing in 1328, it was the oldest building in Kreuzlingen. From 1918 to 1920 it was owned by the Luxembourg-born writer Norbert Jacques (1880–1954). In 1964 the last owner of the Gaisberg moated castle, Baroness von Pagenhardt (née Salis ) had it demolished when she moved into a modern single-family house. A three-wing skyscraper was built on the site of the castle in 1969.
Seeburg Castle
In 1598 Jakob Atzenholz from Constance built Seeburg Castle , which later served as a summer residence for the abbots of the Kreuzlingen Augustinian canons' monastery. It burned down completely in 1633 and was restored in 1664. It has housed the Thurgau teachers' college since 1833, and from the mid-1850s belonged to Gottfried Ferdinand Amman, who converted it into the castle in its present-day appearance in 1870 in the historicism style. It has been owned by the city of Kreuzlingen since 1958 and was extensively renovated from 1982 to 1984. Until the lake was filled in in the sixties, the Seeburg stood directly on the shores of Lake Constance.
Bernegg Castle
The Bernegg Castle in Emmishofen is mentioned in a document already Constance 1,292th As the oldest owner of this farm, the Gottschalk family has been proven. Hence the name of the Gottschalkhof. In 1543 Jakob Ammann appears as the owner. In 1623 the estate was again called Bernegg and was owned by Hans Jakob von Bernau von Chur. Under him, the property became a free seat and became the property of the Barons von Rassler. The von Merhart family has owned the castle since 1702.
Irsee castle
The Irsee Castle was built in 1683 by the Irsee Imperial Abbey near Kaufbeuren on the Way of St. James . It served as a summer residence and as a guest house. In 1842 it was bought by the German journalist and publisher Johann Georg August Wirth (1798–1848). He planned to continue the printing company he had previously founded in the Roman castle. Due to financial problems, he had to auction the property in 1844. It was heavily rebuilt in 1943 and 1944 and restored in 1981.
Rock castle
The building from the middle of the 18th century stands on Gaissbergstrasse, which has been called Felsenburg since it was renovated in 1847 . It is not to be confused with the Felsenschlössli on Wasenstrasse.
Felsenschlössli
The Felsenschlössli on Wasenstrasse (not to be confused with the Felsenburg on Gaissbergstrasse) was built before the monastery was built (1650) and later became the property of the monastery, which set up a school there in 1811.
Rosenegg Castle
The Rosenegg is a three-part building complex and is located in the center of the former municipality of Egelshofen at Bärenstrasse 6. The oldest, southern part dates from 1685. This is followed by an intermediate building built in 1750, to which a palace was added in the north in 1784 . The latter was built by the wine merchant and Egelshof mayor, Johann Jakob Bächler (1752–1802), in the classicism style. The Swiss painter Helen Dahm was born in Rosenegg in 1878. In 1895 the Egelshofen school community bought the property to use it as a primary school. In addition to the school, Rosenegg has also been the seat of the local museum since 1937. In 2006 the Rosenegg was taken over by the "Stiftung Museum Rosenegg" and in 2006–2007 it was converted into a new local museum, which now encompassed the entire building (renovation of the original stucco ceiling by Lorenz Schmid from Augsburg , representing the four continents known at the time; redesign of the staircase and the interiors). The museum houses cultural-historical exhibitions of the Kreuzlingen region and shows changing special exhibitions.
Museums
The lake museum is housed in the former grain chute of the Augustinian canons of Kreuzlingen, near the Seeburg castle . The topic is Lake Constance , its shipping and fishing, as well as the region.
There is also the Rosenegg Museum (town history) and a doll museum as well as four art galleries.
In the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Ulrich and St. Afra there is a small museum with objects from the former Kreuzlingen monastery . The Catholic Parish Office of Ortisei grants admission by appointment.
