Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the medieval city fortification - upper access to the historic old town. Right next to it is the Gasthof zum Bären - one of the city's oldest "drinking taverns" - once used as a post office by Thurn und Taxis.

Steigstrasse in Meersburg's Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

High walls support the high embankment on the Steigstrasse. The street leading steeply up to the market square used to be the only connection between the upper town and the lower town.
A small, romantic square in the slightly off-the-beaten-path Winzergasse. On the square stands the Schnabelgiere fountain, which depicts the Schnabelgiere procession. The Schnabelgiere is a small folk festival that takes place every year in Meersburg and probably originated in the times of the plague.

Meersburg Lower Town Gate

Highlight • Monument

The lower town between the lake and the upper town with the old castle was fortified in the west by the Vordere Seetor (Lower Town Gate or Bullet Gate) and in the east by the Rear Seetor, which was demolished in 1852 due to the construction of the port. In the lower town, the outer wall of today's Hotel Schiff (former cathedral chapter courtyard) has been preserved from the western city wall and the outer wall of the Gredhaus from the eastern city wall.

The Unterstadtstrasse with its beautiful old houses

Highlight • Settlement

The Unterstadtstraße in Meersburg on Lake Constance is one of the oldest and most historically important streets in the town. It originated in the early Middle Ages as the central trade and market street of the lower town, situated directly on the lake. It connected the harbor with warehouses, workshops, inns, and the homes of boatmen, merchants, fishermen, and vintners, thus forming the economic heart of Meersburg, while administration, nobility, and the church were located in the higher-lying upper town. The dense development, with its partly late medieval and early modern houses, still reflects this function today. Despite later alterations following town fires, the historical layout has been preserved, so that the Unterstadtstraße is considered an authentic testament to a medieval harbor and trade route on Lake Constance.

Simply take in the beautiful sight of the old houses.

Take a moment to appreciate the charm of these historic buildings.

Meersburg State Winery

Highlight • Historical Site

In Meersburg there is documentary evidence that viticulture has been practiced since 1324. The historic buildings from the early 18th century and the vineyards were owned by the Prince-Bishops of Constance until 1802/1803. During the secularization, the winery fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became the first wine-growing domain in Germany as the Grand-Ducal-Badische Domainkellerei. After the First World War, the name was changed to Meersburg State Winery in 1919. The state winery owns locations in Meersburg through the previous owner, the Hochstift Konstanz, to whom the best vineyards were reserved as rulers. In addition to the Meersburg sites, there is one site each in Singen (Hohentwiel) and Gailingen am Hochrhein owned by the state winery, a total of 63 hectares of vineyards. The locations are characterized by the heat-storing and reflective effect of Lake Constance, as well as by the specially created soils, e.g. B. the volcanic subsoil on the Olgaberg. The vineyard in Meersburg also includes the vineyard of the Fürstenhäusle, a former property of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, who honors the state winery with a wine of the same name.
