Lindau-Insel

Lindau-Insel is a railway station located on an island in Lake Constance in Bavaria that serves regional and long-distance trains across eight platforms. The building dates from 1913 to 1921 and displays Art Nouveau features at an elevation of approximately 398 meters.

The station opened in 1853 as a vital transportation link for the region. The current building was constructed between 1913 and 1921 as an expression of modernized railway infrastructure with contemporary design.

The station building combines Art Nouveau style with regional architectural traditions, showing details that reflect local building practices of the early 1900s. Visitors notice the careful craftsmanship in the facades and interior spaces that convey the character of that era.

The station provides luggage storage, bicycle parking, and car rental services for travelers. Staff can arrange support for passengers with mobility needs to ensure their journey is comfortable.

Between 1869 and 1939 the station operated a ferry port where railway wagons traveled across Lake Constance to Romanshorn in Switzerland. This unusual service allowed entire train cars to be transported over water between rail networks.
