history
Ancient and Middle Ages
Three Roman coins found near Überlingen from 364 to 378 AD date back to the time after the Romans withdrew to the Rhine border.
Überlingen was first mentioned in 770 or 773 as Iburinga villa publica in a deed of donation from Count Robert to the St. Gallen monastery . In the Vitae of St. Gallus from the first half, however, an Alemannic duke named Gunzo with his seat in Überlingen is documented as early as the 7th century . According to legend, he is said to have resided in a house in the upper town (village) , which is why it bears the name Gunzoburg . In fact, it is rather unlikely that there was an Alemannic fortification or castle here , as there is no fixed whereabouts of Gallus in the tradition. Gunzo's unproven mansion could also have developed into the later Fronhof (the villa publica ) of Iburinga . The most likely locations of the Fronhof could be the Gallerberg, named after St. Gallus, in what is now the Dorf district; in the Altdorf; or even in the middle of the lakeside settlement (in 1644 a Fronhof is mentioned on Luziengasse).
The original core of the Alemannic town of Iburinga was probably north of today's Dorf district in the area of Aufkircher Straße, in Gewann Altdorf and the neighboring Breitle . The parish church of St. Michael was in Aufkirch, a few hundred meters inland from the Altdorf . A little further to the east, on today's Zahnstrasse, was the place's burial site. With the emergence of the lake settlement (today's old town) up to the year 1000 , the decline of the old village began . It was not until the 20th century that residential buildings were built there again.
Around 1180 Emperor Friederich Barbarossa granted the town market rights, and in 1211 Überlingen was granted city rights. With the death of the Duke of Swabia, Konradin IV, the last Staufer , Überlingen fell to the Holy Roman Empire in 1268 .
Free imperial city
At the end of the 14th century the city became a free imperial city . The Heiliggeistspital zu Überlingen came to large estates in the Upper and Lower Linzgau as well as in the Hegau . From 1500 Überlingen was also part of the Swabian Empire .
Thirty Years' War
After a coup d'état by the allied Swedes and Wuerttembergians under Major General Patrick Ruthven on Überlingen in July 1632 , the Swedish Army under General Gustaf Horn advanced two years later :
“On April 23, 1634 the siege of the city of Überlingen began. General Horn let it run against the city walls with such force that the thunder of the guns and the many catapults against the walls amounted to a continued earthquake. "
"Within the city walls, there was also Father Stanislaus Saurbeck , novice master, monastery governor and Sunday preacher in the Überlinger Münster." The city representatives refused the invitation to hand over.
In the tradition, the role of the priest is emphasized in various sources, who was already active at the beginning of the siege: “The inhabitants of the city of Überlingen were prepared for such warlike bravery and invincible confidence through the encouraging and fiery pulpit speeches of S. Stanislaus Saurbeck. "The priest also made a promise to the citizens of the city" and they would be freed from the Swedes in no time. "
“Although the Swede fought like a lion and tried to unnerve the besieged people with the thunder of the guns, all efforts of the enemy were in vain. The Swede had to give up the siege ring around the city on May 16, 1634 and leave the city of Überlingen. "
In addition to the defense on the land side, Überlingen had the advantage of direct access to the lake and an imperial flotilla brought troops and supplies to the besieged city by water. (see Naval War on Lake Constance 1632–1648 ).
The effect of the preacher, who was considered a “brilliant pulpit speaker”, is also made plausible by the fact that “city representatives” did not yet appear publicly at that time, i. In other words, the only authority that could reach the citizenship as a whole was the church - in this case the Capuchins with Saurbeck as the “Sunday preacher in the Überlinger Münster ”. This committed role of the Father was confirmed by the highest authority:
“The news of the liberation of the city of Überlingen spread widely. The deed of the simple Capuchin was on everyone's lips; Most of the estates, even the illustrious Emperor Ferdinand II showered S. Stanislaus Saurbeck with praise. "
"Unfortunately, the city of Überlingen did not sufficiently fulfill the conditions of the vow " and Stanislaus' efforts to redeem it remained in vain. Finally, he prophesied future disaster for Überlingen: “'You have the French in front of the city gates, they will throw you and your children who are inside you to the ground and plunder them. Foolish people, you do not want and do not want, but know that in the divine counsel, you treacherous, vengeance on the part of the French is already imposed on you. ' This prediction [...] came true: On January 29, 1643, the French troops conquered the city of Überlingen, plundered it and returned to Tuttlingen laden with rich booty . "
The Viscount of Courval was then governor in Überlingen from March 1643.
“On April 5, 1644, Field Marshal Franz von Mercy and a 15,000-strong corps [the Imperial Bavarian Army] advanced over Waldshut and began the attack. […] On May 2, 1644, the strike barriers and the towers of the curtain wall of Mercy were enclosed. Courval accepted the offered surrender on May 10, 1644. [...] Field Marshal Mercy appointed the meritorious Quartermaster General von Holz as the commander of Überlingen and occupied the city with his own regiment. "
Only now - after May 1644 - did the people of Überlingen decide to follow Father Stanislaus' admonition and actually keep and carry out the vow.
Baden time
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Überlingen lost its imperial immediacy in 1803 and became part of the Electorate and later Grand Duchy of Baden . Überlingen became the seat of an office or district office. From 1918, after the abdication of the Grand Duke of Baden, Überlingen became part of the Republic of Baden .
In 1895 it was connected to the railway network . This connection was expanded to the east in 1901 with the opening of the Überlingen – Friedrichshafen line.
On November 16, 1911, a severe earthquake struck southern Germany. Lake Constance began to boil, chimneys buckled. The Überlingen landing site was literally torn open. In Lippertsreute, a finial fell from the church tower, damage that is still visible today because the work of art was never replaced.
time of the nationalsocialism
The Überlingen district was formed in 1939 .
During the Nazi era , prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp established the Aufkirch subcamp near Überlingen as one of the branch offices . The concentration camp prisoners worked there from October 1944 to April 1945 on extensive underground facilities. This was also the case at the Goldbacher tunnel , to which the Friedrichshafen armaments factories were to be relocated to protect them from bombing .
Of the at least 170 prisoners who perished during the construction of the Goldbacher tunnel, 97 are buried in the Birnau concentration camp cemetery near the Birnau pilgrimage church . The memorial is located about 200 meters northeast of the sanctuary, above the B 31 and can be reached on foot from the car park above the Birnau and the B 31st As far as is known, the names of the dead concentration camp inmates are listed in Oswald Burger's book “Der Stollen” as a memorial and for research by unknown relatives.
The memorial at the Goldbacher tunnel in the Oberen Bahnhofstraße near the level crossing can be visited once a month as part of a guided tour. You can see a barred access to the tunnels in the steep Molasse rock, memorial plaques for the city of Überlingen and the Italian resistance fighters, and an iron cross with barbed wire. The original entrance was blown up by the French occupation forces.
There were no deportations from Überlingen itself. However, to commemorate the persecution of Jews during the Nazi era, three stumbling blocks were laid in front of the former district office (today's building office in Bahnhofstrasse) in September 2005 . They remember the former District Administrator Hermann Levinger and his daughter Barbara , who committed suicide shortly before their deportation in December 1944. Another stumbling block was laid in front of the former hospital hospital (today Ortisei nursing home) in July 2008; this is reminiscent of Franz Klauser, who was arrested for “unnatural fornication” ( homosexuality ) and perished in 1944 in the Ladelund concentration camp , a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp .
On February 22, 1945 at 1:45 p.m., 20 people died in the only air raid on the city: eleven concentration camp prisoners and forced laborers in the tunnel, four members of the military construction crew and five residents of Obere Bahnhofstrasse. The air attack with 56 high-explosive bombs, including 7 with a long-term detonator, aimed at the Westbahnhof, completely destroyed six residential buildings, ten severely, seven moderately and 38 slightly damaged. The attack was part of Operation Clarion , a joint operation by the US and British air forces. The goal of the US 320th Bomb Group ("320th Bomb Group") with seven medium-range bombers of the type " B 26 Martin Marauder " from Épinal in Lorraine was the Überlinger marshalling yard ("Marshalling Yard"). The legend that the nearby concentration camp tunnel attracted the bombers had persisted for decades.
In the course of the preparatory work for the 2020 State Garden Show, a search for possible duds in the area of the area between the railway line and Bahnhofstrasse (former "Graf" site) was carried out. After the start of the search, originally planned for the end of July 2015, was postponed to mid-September, the search then ran until the beginning of March 2016. No duds were found.
Überlingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg
In 1972 the city of Überlingen was the first city in Germany to introduce a tax on second homes (“Überlinger Model”). Only in 1983 did the Federal Constitutional Court classify this tax as a “legally permissible local expense tax”. It is currently (as of 2018) 20% of the annual rent per year.
Until the district reform on January 1, 1973 , Überlingen was the district town of the Überlingen district , which then became part of the Lake Constance district. In 1990 the city's population exceeded 20,000. As a result, the city administration submitted the application for a major district town , which the state government of Baden-Württemberg granted with effect from January 1, 1993.
The city made international headlines as a result of the plane crash on July 1, 2002 : a Russian passenger plane collided with a cargo plane in the airspace over the western Lake Constance region. The rubble fell in the hinterland of Lake Constance north of the city. 71 people died in the accident and no one was injured on the ground. To commemorate the victims, a memorial in the form of a torn string of pearls was erected near Brachenreuthe, a district of Überlingen near which parts of the wreckage of the passenger plane lay.
In 2003 the “Bodensee-Therme”, a swimming pool complex, was opened directly on the lake. The nearby Westbahnhof was subsequently renamed “ Überlingen Therme Station ”.
In 2005 the city, with the participation of the districts of Deisendorf and Lippertsreute, was awarded a gold medal in the competition Our city is blossoming .
In June 2010 Überlingen was awarded the contract for the State Garden Show 2020. In a referendum, 59.6% of the voters were in favor of organizing this State Garden Show. The participation was 51.9%. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the state horticultural show has been postponed to 2021 (April 9 to October 17).
History of the districts
Andelshofen was first mentioned on July 6, 1234 in a document from the Salem monastery (Cod. Sal.I, 228). The place was partly owned by the Überlinger Johanniterkommende (see history of the Order of St. John ). The place burned down in 1552 and 1634 and was then rebuilt. The lower jurisdiction lay with the Kommende , the high jurisdiction with the county of Heiligenberg and from 1776 with the Free Imperial City of Überlingen. In the course of the Napoleonic reform, Andelshofen came to Baden in 1805 and initially formed its own municipality within the Überlingen district office. In 1927 the Baden state parliament decided to unite the municipality with the municipality of Überlingen. The association came into force on April 1, 1928. Hagenweiler, which belongs to Andelshofen, came to the municipality of Lippertsreute in 1924, and the hamlet of Schönbuch in 1928 to the municipality of Bambergen.
Aufkirch was first mentioned in 1242 as Ufkilche. The place was the location of the original parish church of Überlingen, St. Michael . The church and its location were transferred to Engelberg Abbey in 1311 and to the Teutonic Order on the island of Mainau in 1343 . He ceded the collection to Überlingen in 1557. After that, the church sank down to the branch and the associated place remained only a small hamlet belonging to Überlingen.
Bambergen was first mentioned in 1268. The place was probably in the 13./14. Century seat of those von Regentsweiler, whose property came to the hospital in Überlingen in 1352. The city of Überlingen exercised lower jurisdiction and sovereignty over Bambergen and some smaller hamlets, including Reuthemühle. In addition, the place was the seat of an office to which the surrounding hospital place belonged. In 1803 the place came to Baden and was assigned to the Überlingen district office.
Bonndorf could have been mentioned for the first time in 800 as Pondorf, although it is now suspected that this mention could have been more of Bonndorf in the Black Forest . Noble free von Bonndorf appeared in the 12th century, and were succeeded by the Lords of Hohenfels. In 1423 and 1479 the place was sold to the Überlingen Hospital. Thus the rule came to the city of Überlingen. In 1803 the place came to Baden and became a municipality in the Überlingen district office.
Deisendorf wasfirst mentionedin 972 and 1040 as a property of the Abbey "Meginradescella" ( Maria Einsiedeln ) in Switzerland as Tyzindorf. In the 13th century there was a local nobility. In 1202 a Count Mangold von Rohrdorf transferred his estate to the Reichenau Monastery as a fief. Later the Salem Monastery and in 1363 the Constance Cathedral Brotherhood bought goods on site. In 1402 the place came to the Überlingen Hospital. From 1469 to 1811 Deisendorf was the post office of the Austrian, later Thurn-und-Taxis- post line Stockach - Ravensburg and Vienna - Paris. In 1803 Deisendorf came to Baden and was assigned to the Überlingen district office.
Ernatsreute was mentioned in 1213 when a Conradus de Eradesriuti appears. In 1408 the place came to the Überlingen hospital and was part of the Bambergen office. The local rule was therefore with Überlingen, but the Teutonic Order House Mainau also had a feudal court. In 1803 the place came to Baden and was initially part of the municipality of Bambergen. In 1924 he was assigned to the community of Lippertsreute.
Hagenweiler was first mentioned as Hagenwiller in 1285 when the Lords of Bodman sold their property to the Order of St. John / Maltese. The place then belonged to the Andelshofen office, but the tax sovereignty lay with Überlingen. In 1803, Hagenweiler became Baden and initially belonged to the Andelshofen community. When it was incorporated into Überlingen in 1926, Hagenweiler was separated and assigned to the community of Lippertsreute.
Haldenhof (Hohenfels): The name Hohenfels appears around 1148. There is certain evidence of a small ruling family from 1191 to 1408. Their castle was located in a settlement that was attested in 1479 as a Haldenhof. At that time, the Hohenfels rule had already come to an end. The Lords of Hohenfels originally owned the places Sipplingen, Mahlspüren and the settlements Bonndorf and Nesselwangen, which today belong to Überlingen. The property on Ittendorf was increased through marriage . In 1408 the rule was divided and the majority came to the Überlingen Hospital in 1479. Hohenfels Castle burned down in 1633 and 1644 and is only preserved as a ruin. The Haldenhof is now only a residential area in the Bonndorf district.
Hödingen was first mentioned in 1242 as Hedingen. In 1297 a swigger from Blankenstein sold the Kehlhof zu Hödingen to the Order of St. John / Maltese in Überlingen, later the place was owned by the Konstanz Hospital, which ruled the area. In more recent times Überlingen had suzerainty over Hödingen. In 1803 the place came to Baden and was assigned to the Überlingen district office.
Lippertsreute was first mentioned in 1159 as Luipendetisruti. In the 12th century the place was owned by St. Stefan in Konstanz, then by St. Johann in Konstanz. In 1217 the Salem Monastery acquired goods from the Lords of Bodman, who exercised local rule over Lippertsreute. In 1290 the place came to the Johanniter in Überlingen and in 1337 to the Teutonic Order Commander Mainau, with whose Landkomturei Altshausen the place remained until 1805. Then the place was assigned to Baden and the district office of Überlingen. In 1924 Ernatsreute (previously the municipality of Bambergen) and in 1928 by Hagenweiler (previously the municipality of Andelshofen) were incorporated.
Nesselwangen was first mentioned in 1094 as Nezzelwanc. Initially, the place was owned by the Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen . Later he was part of the Hohenfels dominion, from where he came to the Überlingen Hospital in 1479. In 1803 the place fell to Baden and was assigned to the Überlingen district office.
Nussdorf was first mentioned in 1134 as Nuzdorf. Through various nobles, including Count Palatine Rudolf von Tübingen, the properties of the place came to the Salem Monastery. In 1803 the place was assigned to Baden and the district office of Überlingen.
Schönbuch was first mentioned in the 13th century as a Schonbuch. Around 1260 the settlement of those von Gundelfingen came to the Johanniter in Überlingen, who enlarged the property in the 15th century. The Johanniterkommende thus had lower jurisdiction until 1803, the sovereignty lay with Überlingen. In 1803 the place came to Baden and became part of the Andelshofen community. When it was dissolved in 1928, Schönbuch was assigned to the municipality of Bambergen.
Walpertsweiler was first mentioned in 1160 as Waltprechtesweiler. The place belonged to the Salem monastery. In 1415 the place was sold to the Überlingen Hospital and after the transition to Baden it belonged to the Bonndorf community as a place to live.
Religious communities
Überlingen initially belonged to the diocese of Constance . The population was assigned to the parish of St. Michael (Aufkirch) .
A church in Überlingen was built in the 10th century. Remnants of this church were found under today's St. Nikolaus Minster . The minster was built in the 14th century as a late Gothic basilica. The church, consecrated to St. Nicholas, was the town's parish church as early as 1360. From 1357 to 1557 she was incorporated into the Teutonic Order . After the transfer to the city, a collegiate monastery was established there in 1609. Überlingen remained Catholic even after the Reformation. In addition to the township, there were also several monasteries. A Franciscan church was consecrated in 1348, rebuilt in 1519 and redesigned in Baroque style in 1752 (today the Church of the Immaculate Conception). The monastery was dissolved in 1803. The citizens of Überlingen donated the Jodok Church , which was consecrated in 1462. A Capuchin monastery existed from 1619 to 1806. The monastery church, consecrated in 1658, was then profaned.
The Order of St. John founded a 1,257 Ueberlingen Coming . The Kommende Überlingen belonged to the Catholic Grand Priory of Germany of the Order of St. John, later the Order of Malta, with its seat in Heitersheim . The associated church was demolished in 1818. A Franciscan convent in St. Gallen existed from 1535 to 1803. The St. Gallen chapel, which was part of the fishermen's house board, was profaned in 1849 . The numerous chapels are worth mentioning: St. Lucia from 1462 (today Reichlin-Meldegg-Haus), St. Leonhard in den Egerden from 1437, Heinrich Suso chapel in the St. Ulrich retirement home from 1881, St. Joseph in the Seeburg hospital from 1938, St. Johann Vianney from 1954 and Holy Spirit 1960.
Furthermore, in 1974, Auxiliary Bishop Karl Gnädinger consecrated the Catholic St. Suso Church, including the community center and kindergarten, on the edge of what was then the new development area of Burgberg . St. Suso was built in exposed concrete in the typical architectural style of the time and shows characteristics of brutalism . In 1977, next to the parish church of St. Nikolaus ("Münster"), the second parish of St. Suso was to be established, but this was rejected by the Archbishopric of Freiburg .
Most parts of the city also have Catholic parishes and churches, or at least chapels. In Andelshofen there is a neo-Gothic church of St. Verena from 1885. The old parish church of the village was incorporated into the Johanniterkommende from 1462 to 1803. There is a 17th century Lady Chapel in Bambergen. Bonndorf has a parish church of St. Pelagius and Verena with a Gothic choir and an early Gothic tower. In Deisendorf there is a St. Andreas chapel with Romanesque elements. A separate parish existed there until the 14th century. Today the place belongs to Seefelden, and the pilgrimage church Birnau is the parish church of the places Deisendorf and Nussdorf, which together form the Catholic parish curate of Birnau. There was a St. Bartholomew's Church in Hödingen, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Then the church was rebuilt and set up as a pilgrimage to Mary. Lippertsreute has a church of the Assumption of Mary built in 1881, but a church is mentioned here as early as the 13th century. A church was mentioned in Nesselwangen as early as the 11th century. Today's St. Peter and Paul Church was rebuilt after being destroyed in the Thirty Years War and enlarged in 1861. Nussdorf has a late Gothic chapel of H. Kosmas and Damian. After the dissolution of the Diocese of Constance, the Catholic parishes came to the newly founded Archdiocese of Freiburg. Here they were assigned to the dean's office in Linzgau, whose seat is in Meersburg .
At the beginning of the 19th century Protestants also moved to Überlingen and a small branch community of Meersburg was established. In 1861 a separate parish was established in Überlingen, the first Protestant church was built in 1867. At first she belonged to the deanery of Constance of the Evangelical Church in Baden . In 2012 the headquarters of the Überlingen-Stockach church district, which was newly founded in 1969, was relocated from Salem to Überlingen to the rectory on the lake in Grabenstrasse. In the same year the two Protestant parishes in Überlingen, the Resurrection parish and the Paul Gerhardt parish, were united into one parish. The two districts of Bonndorf and Nesselwangen belong to the Protestant parish of Ludwigshafen.
There are also several Evangelical Free Churches in Überlingen, an Evangelical Free Church ( Baptists ), a Methodist Church (Kreuzkirche), a Mennonite Congregation , an Adventist Congregation and a Mustard Seed Congregation . In the district of Bambergen there is an Evangelical Anabaptist Congregation, which belongs to the Federation of Evangelical Anabaptist Congregations .
The Jehovah's Witnesses , a congregation of the Christian community and a New Apostolic congregation in Überlingen are also represented. Since 1983 there is also a branch of the Society of St. Pius X.
There was a Jewish community in the Middle Ages; it was first mentioned in 1226. In 1332 there was a pogrom in Überlingen because of an alleged ritual murder in which between 300 and 400 Jews were burned in the synagogue. In 1349 there was renewed persecution of Jews, only in 1378 there was a new settlement. In 1430 the Jews were expelled, and since then there has not been a new Jewish community in the city.

At the latest since the transition to the Holy Roman Empire (1268), the Ammann and the council were at the head of the city of Überlingen . The Ammann was an administrative and financial officer and stood before the court, which was partially divided into an upper and a lower town court. The council initially only consisted of patricians (later referred to as the lion guild ), from the 13th century the craft guilds were also represented. A mayor is documented from 1308. Soon afterwards he was responsible for administration, while Ammann was only responsible for the court. In addition, the New and Old Councils emerged over time , which were later referred to as the Big and Small Councils.
Around 1350 the imperial city electoral mode was reformed: the Grand Council first appointed a ruling mayor, whereupon the guild masters, together with the mayor, elected the so-called "Elfer" ( lion council from the lion guild ) in the small council. According to the principle of majority voting, the magistrate (also in the Small Council) and four judges were elected . Based on the Freiburg city law , a body of the "twenty-four" ruled the Small Council: eleven councilors, seven guild masters, four judges, an ammann and a ruling mayor. The law regulated further that two mayors points are at the top of the city, of its own motion - and the former mayor . The mayor was the ruling head of the city and the former mayor was his deputy and advisor ; he was also a member of the Small Council. Both held these positions on a voluntary basis and not for life, as was previously the case, but were newly elected every year. If a new candidate (or again the former mayor ) was elected mayor , the office of the former mayor automatically fell to the previously ruling and now replaced mayor . This electoral mode remained in effect without major changes until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss. Only in the second half of the 18th century was the number of members of the Small Council reduced and the judges' college dissolved; they were replaced by independent lawyers as they did not have a quorum in the Council .
Another major change took place in 1773: after considerable disputes in the Überlingen city government, the Prince-Bishop of Constance , Franz Konrad von Rodt , appointed by Emperor Joseph II as commissioner , established a new salary order. From then on, the mayors were no longer voluntary, but instead worked with a fixed salary. The first to work with this salary was the Fürstenberg Oberamtmann Konrad Freiherr von Lentz from Heiligenberg .
Since the transition to Baden, the city has been headed by a mayor, who has been named Oberbürgermeister (OB) since it was elevated to a major district town in 1993 . He is elected for a term of eight years and is chairman of the municipal council and head of the city administration. The Lord Mayor has a first deputy, the full-time deputy, who bears the official title of “Mayor”.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the city of Überlingen shows in gold a black eagle with a gold breast shield, inside a gold crowned and gold armored red lion. The coat of arms represents a golden crowned and armored red lion growing out of the spangenhelm with a golden helmet crown, who holds a bare sword with a golden hilt in his right paw . The helmet covers are red and gold. With the award of this coat of arms, the emperor reaffirmed the condemnation of the leaders of the Linzgau farmers in 1525, at the end of the peasant wars , by the council of the city of Überlingen. The Linzgau farmers had opposed the order of the imperial city Überlingen to fight the rebellious Hegau farmers ("Ernatinger mutiny").
The city flag is red and yellow.
The imperial eagle was featured in the seal as early as the 13th century. The current form of the coat of arms with the Habsburg lion as a breast shield was given by Emperor Charles V on February 3, 1528 in his imperial residence in Burgos (Spain). The upper coat of arms, which is extremely uncommon for a municipal coat of arms, was already described in 1528 and has therefore been retained until today.

City fortifications
Überlingen acquired city rights in 1180. Around 1250 the city moat and ramparts were replaced by walls. The wall was defended in sections by the various guilds. Around 1300 an inner wall ring enclosed today's old town on the Franziskanertor - Rosenobel - St. Johann line. An outer wall ring was started in 1450 and completed in 1630. It also protected the fishermen's houses as well as the suburbs and the "village" and ran on the line Badturm - Aufkircher Tor - Wagsauterturm - Wiestor.
Today, of the original 15 defensive towers, there are still the Gallerturm (built around 1500), the Wagsauterturm (rebuilt in 1958), the Rosenobel (built in 1657 as a roundabout , previously the Roßnauerturm here ) and the St Johann Tower. The Galler and St. Johann towers are now used as club houses.
Cannon balls from the time of the Thirty Years' War have been preserved in Überlingen to commemorate the time of siege and are exhibited as monuments: in the cathedral and on a building in Friedhofstrasse.
Due to the high maintenance costs and the increasing wagon traffic, six of the seven city gates of the outer ring had to give way in the 19th century (listed according to the year they were demolished): Scheerentor (at the eastern entrance of Friedhofstrasse in the village, demolished in the 18th century), Hell or Hölltor (at the eastern entrance of Münsterstrasse, outer 1823 broken off, inner 1837), Wiestor (outer 1828, inner 1843), Grundtor (in the Fischerhäuservorstadt, 1838), Fahrtor (near the hospital buildings, today Landungsplatz, 1858), the Obertor is in the year Collapsed in 1880. The only city gate of the outer ring still in existence today is the Aufkircher Tor. Of the three gates of the inner ring (Fiedlistor, Christophstor, Barfüßertor) is still (formerly the 1494 completed Franziskanertor Barfüßertor called).

(WASSENBERG, Florus, p. 517.). “Quoted from: www.30jaehrigerkrieg.de .

Lang quotes Heilmann: The campaigns of Bavaria in the years 1643, 1644 and 1645. Leipzig 1851, p. 6ff. The mentioned crew in Überlingen of "12-13,000 men" seems far too high and cannot be confirmed otherwise.
- ↑ While the city of Überlingen's calendar of events no longer mentions the date of the start of the processions: Sweden Procession 2020 ( accessed January 5, 2020), the date 'from 1635' with the nine-year 'faithlessness' is still in circulation on various occasions: ' Bodensee-Veranstaltungen ' (Accessed January 5, 2020).
