Kehlen is a district of the municipality of Meckenbeuren in the Lake Constance district of Baden-Württemberg in Germany .
history
Kehlen is first mentioned around 817 as "Kelinga". A church in Kehlen is mentioned for the first time in 1150. At that time the village was called Chelun . Along with Brochenzell and Ailingen, Kehlen is one of the oldest settlements in this area. Until 1803 Kehlen belonged to the Kreuzlingischen rule Hirschlatt, then came with this to Hohenzollern-Hechingen and finally in 1813 to the Kingdom of Württemberg. The Hirschlatt community, formed in the same year, comprised the old domain. In 1937, parts of the municipality of Meckenbeuren and the dissolved municipality of Hirschlatt became the municipality of Kehlen. On May 1, 1972, Kehlen was incorporated into Meckenbeuren after 35 years of independence.

politics
After the incorporation in 1972, a local constitution was issued and a local council was founded, which met in the former town hall, the village community center. For the 2014 local elections, the local council decided to dissolve it on the grounds that after four decades the citizens of Kehlen no longer needed their own mouthpiece. The last mayor was Franz Assfalg ( CDU ) until 2014 .

The coat of arms symbolizes the connection between the two parts of the municipality on the left and right of the Schussen. The blazon of the coat of arms reads: In silver (white) over a blue shield base a bricked red bridge with a whole arch in the middle and half an arch on each side.
