history
Origin of the name
Formerly called the mountain Homberg , 1831, he was a reference to the biblical Mount Tabor in Israel in Mount Tabor renamed.
“The name of Taborberg was given to Pastor Mietinger's former Homberg. After a pilgrimage, he compared the beauty of the view with the view from the biblical Mount of Transfiguration - instead of the Jordan and the mountains of Lebanon, the Rhine and Lake Constance and the Alps. "
The old name is still used. For example, the path that runs south and west of the Taborberg is called Am Homberg .
Tabor Towers
In 1881 the Konstanz Beautification Association built a permanent tower on the hilltop, which was destroyed by an arson attack in 1947.
In 1981 the tower was rebuilt thanks to the Taborinitiative-FWG after more than 100,000 DM donations had been collected. This tower had to be blown up in 2002 because of the risk of collapse.
Students from Konstanz University of Applied Sciences , among others, have developed plans for a possible new building .
