Haltnau to the Konstanz Hospital Foundation
Legend of the Wendelgard
Haltnau has been part of the Spitalkellerei Konstanz Hospital Foundation since 1272 . Legend has it that Konstanz owes this property to the pork-trunked, humpbacked Wendelgard von Halte, who did not meet with approval in Meersburg itself: although she was the owner of the beautiful vineyard, people avoided her and had to eat her own food from a silver trough take. Wendelgard offered her estate to the city of Meersburg on the condition that a councilor dined with her every day and that she was allowed to go out on Sundays, also accompanied by a councilor. The Meersburgers did not reject this, but thought too long. The people from Konstanz contacted afterwards did not hesitate and accepted their offer. Wendelgard got a place in the Hospital of the Holy Spirit on the Marktstätte (Constance).
Ridiculous verses
This gesture by the councilors of Constance towards Wendelgard mentioned in the verse
“For the good of the city despite the trunk
- I'll eat from this bowl.
- The Wendelgard resembles the pig
- But I strengthen myself on Haltnauwein. "
was immortalized, is said to have been over 90 years old and survived many councilors who rendered her the required service.
Transfer of Haltnau
A document in the Konstanz city archive specifies the facts of the legend:
