Lindau, Harbor town on Lake Constance, Germany

The old town of Lindau stretches across an island connected to the mainland by two bridges, surrounded by the waters of Lake Constance.

The settlement gained status as an Imperial Free City in 1274 under King Rudolf I, maintaining direct subordination to the Holy Roman Emperor.

The annual children's festival, established in 1655 after the Thirty Years' War, remains an essential celebration in the municipal calendar.

The railway station on the island provides direct connections to Munich, Friedrichshafen, and Zurich, serving both regional and international travelers.

The district creates a meeting point between three countries at the Dreiländereck, where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland intersect near Lake Constance.
