The location is unique: a crystal clear lake, in the background snow-capped mountains, a lush green surroundings and in the middle a historic island with incomparable charm. Lindau's Old Town is situated on an almost 70-hectare island in Lake Constance. With its centuries-old buildings, lively squares and picturesque streets, it exudes an almost Mediterranean flair. Behind the famous harbor entrance with the Bavarian Lion and the new lighthouse, the impressive panorama of the Alps and Lake Constance opens up. On the waterfront, which is considered one of the most beautiful on Lake Constance, one can follow the maritime hustle and bustle in the harbor from one of the many cafes.

The column honors Maximilian II for his services to the port of Lindau and the completion of the train station.
Unfortunately, the memorial has been smeared by unfortunate hands in the meantime.

Thieves' Tower, Lindau

Highlight • Historical Site

Diebsturm, Lindau
The thief tower and its colorful roof
The islanders owe the fact that the tower still exists at all to the Ravensburg master mason Johann Jacob Götzger, who bought the building in 1817 for 250 guilders and thus saved it from demolition. Götzger also saved the tower of the nearby St. Peter's Church, which was built around the year 1000 and is one of the oldest churches on Lake Constance, from decay. Together with the former bell foundry and the arsenal, St. Peter's Church and the thief's tower form a picturesque medieval ensemble.
Lindau's former city prison used to be called the Malefiz Tower; the Latin term "maleficus" stood for malicious, evil-doing and godless, the expression "maleficium" for outrage and crime. In Malefiz towers like the Lindau thief tower, the crooks had to do penance for their bad deeds.
