Lipbach is a hamlet in the Friedrichshafen town of Kluftern in Baden-Württemberg , about one kilometer north of Kluftern and two kilometers south of Markdorf . The Lipbach flows through the small town and gave it its name. The Bodenseegürtelbahn runs directly past the village on a four-meter-high dam, but without a stopping point. The L 207 runs through the village from Immenstaad on Lake Constance to Markdorf.

history

Lipbach is first mentioned in a document in 1262 as Littebach , where Lite means "mountain slope". The road on the hillside that is built up today is called Rebhalde because viticulture was once practiced there. Lipbach was a collection of up to seven farms along the road to Markdorf. Until 1861 it belonged to the municipality of Riedheim , but applied for incorporation into the nearby Kluftern itself.

From around 1970, Lipbach first developed as a preferred new building and residential area for employees of the Dornier-Werke , who have only five kilometers to work and appreciate the infrastructure of Markdorf, before the population merged with the economic and administrative structure of Friedrichshafen and Markdorf . The village now has over 700 inhabitants. A few new buildings are still being built in existing vacant lots. Until 2008, five farms, some with dairy farming, have been preserved. Lipbach is connected to Friedrichshafen and Markdorf every 30 minutes by two city bus routes. There are also bus routes to Immenstaad and in the direction of Salem.

In Lipbach there is the small St. Laurentius Chapel , which was consecrated in 990 by Bishop Gebhard II of Constance. The walls of the small nave probably date from this time, the tower from the 12th century. The chapel is one of the oldest buildings in the Lake Constance district. Next to this chapel is a large stone on which the shape of a foot can be seen and which is called "the footsteps of St. Lawrence" or "Lenzenstein". According to legend, a messenger of faith stood on this stone and proclaimed the gospel. Pilgrimages to this stone were still taking place at the beginning of the 20th century, as it was said to have healing properties for people with walking difficulties. Gasse Im Lenzenstein is also named after him.

In the Lipbach railway accident on December 22nd, 1939, one of the worst in German railway history, a freight and passenger train collided head-on and unbraked in the darkness in Lipbach. 106 people died. A memorial stone commemorating the accident was unveiled in the village on December 22, 1989.

Art circular path

The art circular path in the village of Kluftern also leads through Lipbach, where you can admire four of the works of art: the comic bridge with the story of the Laurentius stone, the cloud gate, the back door and the gate to fantasy.
