Tettnang, Urban municipality in Bodenseekreis district, Germany.
Tettnang is a town in Baden-Württemberg near Lake Constance and spreads across an agricultural area. The settlement sits at about 466 meters elevation and combines residential neighborhoods with extensive fields and hopfields.
The town received city rights in 1294 from King Adolf of Nassau and was ruled for centuries by the Counts of Montfort. In 1780 the Montforts sold the area to Austria, which changed the region's political path.

Buses connect Tettnang regularly with Friedrichshafen and other places in the Bodenseekreis, with service throughout the day. Visitors should expect good paths for walking into the surrounding hopfields and countryside.
The Linux operating system Fedora named its second release after Tettnang in honor of the town's global importance in hop cultivation. This recognition shows how the hop heritage of the place is reflected in computer culture.
