location

  • In the south, Reutin is bounded by the shores of Lake Constance. Amid the Reutiner bay is the gallows island . To the west is the tiny island of Hoy . Both belong to the Reutin district.
  • The Lindau districts of Rickenbach and Zech are in the southeast . They used to belong to the Reutin municipality.
  • Sigmarszell is in the northeast of the old district .
  • To the north and west are the Lindau districts of Hochbuch and Aeschach (both districts and former municipality of Aeschach).

Local division

To the east of Kemptener Straße - seen from the island - Reutin stretches eastwards along Köchlinstraße up the slope to Steig and Lugeck. The branching road to Motzach opens up Oberreutin. To the west of the federal highway 12 in the direction of Kempten, the Senftenau and Bleichenwiese Nord settlement areas have been located since around 2000. The Köchlin is a meadow area along the Ach . The first industrial settlements arose here.

Another line of development in the development follows from Berliner Platz almost at lake level on Rickenbacher Straße, until it meets Steigstraße as a continuation of Köchlinstraße. To the south of it, the former railway site extends along the lake. The Lindau-Reutin station is being built on the site of the former Lindau freight station .

This area is followed by the Eichwald bathing beach and other shore zones, which are part of Lindau's local recreation areas. The former main connection Bregenzer Straße was dismantled.

Important built-up areas are the Wannental, Robert-Bosch-Straße (trade and industry) and Rickenbach. This is followed by the Zech district.

The new school center in the Achtal now has service functions for the entire city and is halfway to Aeschach. To the west, the Ach and the hills on both sides of the brook separate Reutin from Aeschach. To the north it is the chain of hills behind Heimesreutin (Aeschach), the hamlets of Motzach and Streitelsfingen, which act as natural borders to the surrounding area.

history

The name is first mentioned in a document in 1275/1278. Reutin means cleared land and refers to the fact that a large part of the Lindau area was reclaimed during the High Middle Ages . At that time there was talk of a St.Verenen church in Reutin. The parish became Protestant as early as 1528.

In 1818 the city of Lindau lost its land and Reutin became an independent municipality . On February 1, 1922, it was reintegrated into the city of Lindau (Lake Constance).

Wankel building
Felix Wankel (1902–1988) came from Lahr to Lindau on Lake Constance in 1936 . One of the reasons for settling here on the lake may well have been his passion for building and developing fast boats - he designed multi-cylinder aircraft engines and a new boat shape, the split-skid boat "Zisch" here on the lake in Bregenzer Straße. In 1945, the French confiscated Wankel's experimental workshops and dismantled them. Wankel himself was arrested and banned from research.
Felix Wankel set up the new Technical Development Center (TES) in his private home in Lindau near the lake in 1951 . In 1961 the company moved to an architecturally independent new building on the shores of Lake Constance.
