Chroniken von Konstanz
Konstanz sits on the Rhine where it exits Lake Constance, and its history goes back to a Roman fort called Constantia in the 4th century. It survived World War II largely unscathed because it was near the Swiss border and didn’t get bombed heavily, so its medieval centre – with the Münster cathedral, narrow alleyways, and the Imperia statue in the harbour – is exceptionally well preserved. The city was the site of the Council of Constance (1414–1418), which ended the Western Schism and burned Jan Hus at the stake. Today it’s a university town and a gateway to the lake, with a relaxed, international feel that mixes German order with Swiss convenience and Italian summer sunshine.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Konstanz-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September – warm enough for boat trips and swimming, with fewer tourists than July–August. Lake water is swimmable by late May. September keeps the sun but loses the school-holiday crowds.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season. The city hosts the Konstanzer Seenachtfest (fireworks and lake festival) in early August. Hotel prices can double, and rooms at properties like the Hampton sell out weeks ahead. Expect full restaurants and crowded harbour promenades.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October are the best budget shoulder months. Daytime temps range 12–18°C, so you’ll need a jacket, but hotel rates drop sharply. The autumn foliage around the lake is lovely, and many attractions remain open. Easter week is the one exception – prices spike then.
Wetter & Verpackung
Lake Constance creates its own microclimate: summer days can be hot (30°C) but cool down fast after sunset, and sudden rain showers are common. Pack layers (a light fleece or sweater for evenings) and a waterproof jacket, even in July. Also bring swimwear if you plan to use the lidos or rent a SUP board – the lake water hits 20–22°C by midsummer.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Konstanz
- The main Konstanz train station (Kreuzlingen to the Swiss side) is undergoing platform upgrades through summer 2026, so expect some diverted regional trains and longer walking routes on the Swiss side. Check Deutsche Bahn app for live platform changes.
- A new pedestrian zone on the Seestraße near the harbour was extended in spring 2026, making the promenade quieter but requiring a slight detour if you’re driving – the hotel valet parking remains a good option.
- The Body Worlds exhibition at the Konstanz Museum (at the old town’s end) is running until September 2026; it’s popular and often sells out on weekends, so book ahead if interested.

Top-Attraktionen in Konstanz
💡 Aim for the 'Haus zur Kunkel' at Niederburgerstrasse 19—a well-preserved 14th-century house with a free exhibition on its history. Quietest on weekday mornings.
💡 Go just before sunset for the best light on the lake and mountains. There are a few benches and you can see the Imperia statue clearly from above.
💡 Take the small alley ‘Kreuzlinger Gasse’ – it cuts through to the waterfront and has a quiet courtyard cafe halfway.
💡 Climb the tower late afternoon for fewer crowds and golden light on the lake—costs about €2, well worth it.
💡 Take the path along the old city wall (Stadtmauer) from Schnetztor to Rheintorturm – it's quiet and gives you a genuine sense of medieval Konstanz.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid tour groups. The choir stalls have intricate medieval carvings worth a close look.
💡 The spire climb costs a few euros, but the main church interior and crypt are free. Go early to avoid queues.
💡 Go at sunset for good light and fewer crowds. The view back toward the old town from the harbour wall is better than the statue itself.
