Ermatingen

Ermatingen is a municipality in Kreuzlingen District that extends along Lake Constance between 400 and 517 meters elevation. The settlement combines open agricultural land with forest patches, creating a varied rural landscape along the water's edge.

Settlement in this area was first documented in 724, establishing the township's early history. Archaeological evidence from nearby sites reveals that human occupation extended far earlier, with Stone Age cultures present between 4000 and 2500 BC.

The community gathers around St Albin's Church, which stands as a focal point reflecting the region's religious evolution over centuries. Local life remains tied to the lakeside setting, blending rural traditions with the landscape that has defined this place.

The municipality connects easily by rail to major Swiss cities through direct service. Proximity to both Friedrichshafen and Zurich airports provides convenient arrival options for visitors coming from further away.

Schloss Wolfsberg has housed a UBS training center since 1975, where professionals worldwide come for development programs. This castle setting brings a surprising modern purpose to a historic building that has stood witness to the region for generations.
