BSB Harbor Lindau (Lake Constance)

Highlight • Structure

It is always interesting to watch the hustle and bustle in a port. Here in Lindau, with its distinctive harbor entrance, there is also a lively ferry service.
I brought a postcard with me from a school trip to Lake Constance in 1965. It said:
"Lindau is on Lake Constance, if you don't believe it, come and see for yourself".

St. Peter's Church (Fishermen's Church), Lindau

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Peter's Church (Fishermen's Church) Lindau
The oldest settlement core on the island of Lindau is located around today's St. Peter's Church. If one believes a document handed down by Daniel Heider, the Rotulus, which can originally be dated to around 1330, the "capella St. Petri", a wooden predecessor of today's church, existed before the foundation of the canoness monastery. Local historical research assumes that a fishing settlement, hence the patronage of St. Peter, the saint is the patron saint of fishermen, existed as an early settlement center alongside a second nucleus around today's market square, which probably also existed before the foundation of the monastery. The latter, however, only received its urban character after the market was moved from mainland Aeschach to the island in 1079, as chroniclers attest. Since there was a bay near the elevated town in the area of today's Paradiesplatz, the site was predestined for a fishing settlement.
Probably after the market was relocated, the previous building was replaced by a stone church that reflected the increased importance of the place. The church tower's location, shape and spatial relationship to the nave suggest that it was incorporated into the new building as an existing watchtower that had been built for observation and defense purposes on the site that was then close to the shore.
After the construction of St. Stephen's Church as the island's new parish church in 1180, St. Peter's Church lost importance as a branch church. From then on, it was used by a monastic Beguine community consisting of women who came from the lower classes and were entirely dedicated to caring for the sick.

St. Leonhard's Chapel, Bad Schachen (Lindau)

Highlight • Religious Site

Schachener Straße - corner Enzisweilerstraße; open with luck;

The little St. Leonhards Chapel has already experienced a lot:
The first time it is mentioned in 1482, when at a fishing festival 10 people are said to have drowned. However, we read about their door 1485, but that probably refers to a renovation or renovation. It belonged to St. Stephan (Lindau Island) and perhaps served as a castle chapel for the opposite seat of power. With the arrival of the Reformation in Lindau in 1528, the three-storey church was profaned from rough quarry stones. Originally hung three bells in the tower, of which at least the main bell was cast in the year 1638 by the Lindau bell foundry family Ernst.

In 1828, the nave burned down and a Royal Foundation Administrator and Architect wanted to demolish the tower, but that did not allow the peasantry. After all, Saint Leonard is the patron saint of prisoners and dear cattle. Around 1900, the tower was given a new extension and until 1988, the former chapel served as a fire station. Since 1995, a development association cares for St. Leonhard, which is still in the possession of the Protestant community of St. Stephen - Christuskirche. On request, the chapel can be used for ecclesiastical and secular purposes.

There is not much to see inside. The eye-catcher in the tower is a pillar of the Lindau glass artist Oliver Schaugg (born 1965) from the year 2001. The design of the glass column wants to honor the patron saint of the chapel, the saint Leonhard - with reference to our present time. As the patron saint of prisoners, St. Leonhard has always been the bearer of hope for those in great need in captivity. Imprisonment means not only being locked up in a prison, but also being trapped in the mind. How many constraints and norms are we subject to today or do we think we have to fulfill?

The 4 sides of the glass column represent a path, a development that shows a change of consciousness over different stages. Pictorially this is expressed in the abstraction of the chain towards a symbol of hope.
