Constance, University city on Lake Constance, Germany
Set at 402 meters elevation, Konstanz extends over 54 square kilometers along the shores of Lake Constance, forming a natural border with Switzerland.
The Council of Constance from 1414 to 1418 gathered church officials and rulers to resolve the Western Schism and address religious reforms.
The University of Konstanz, established in 1966, maintains an extensive library system and botanical gardens that support academic research and education.
The city center provides access to shopping districts, medical facilities, educational institutions, and transportation networks connecting Germany with Switzerland.
During World War II, Konstanz kept its lights on at night, making it appear connected to neutral Switzerland, thus preventing Allied bombing raids.
