Immenstaad am Bodensee

Immenstaad am Bodensee is a municipality on Lake Constance's northern shore in Baden-Württemberg with vast apple orchards and vineyards stretching across the landscape. The land slopes gently toward the water, offering views of the Swiss Alps across the lake.

The first written record of the settlement dates to 1094 when Bavarian Duke Welf IV acquired properties from Weingarten Abbey in the area. Wine growing and fruit farming later became the main economic activities that shaped the region for centuries.

The community's identity is rooted in wine growing and fruit farming that shape the landscape and are celebrated at local festivals. You can see orchards and vineyards everywhere, defining how residents live and work throughout the year.

The area is best explored on foot or by bicycle, with paths running through orchards and vineyards connecting different parts of the municipality. The proximity to the lake makes it easy to move between the water and the farming areas throughout the day.

The location was home to an aerospace facility operated by Dornier, a historic aircraft manufacturer that later became part of Airbus. This aviation heritage often goes unnoticed by visitors despite its importance to the area's development.
