Tips

Jodelpaule

May 25, 2017

At the end of the lake promenade there is the highly visible "Magische Säule" of Meersburg at the harbor. The sculptor Peter Lenk from Bodnang has depicted her personalities with reference to Meersburg. The rotatable seagull on the top of the column stands for the poet Anette von Droste-Hülshoff, who spent her last years in Meerburg and died here in 1848. Franz Anton Mesmer holds a U-magnet in his hand, to which he attributed healing powers. Below are his adversaries (Maximilian Hell) in a planet cage. Joseph Freiherr von Laßberg, represented as a knight with the hobbyhorse, was the brother-in-law of Anette von Droste-Hülshoff. He saved the old Meersburg from demolition and was an avid collector of ancient manuscripts and documents. The miracle healer and devil runner Johann Joseph Gaßner stayed in Meersburg in 1774. By driving out of the "evil winds" diseases should be healed under the laughter of the spectators. Ultimately, the naked body of Wendelgard is immortalized on the column. The owner of the Haltnau should have been fake. For certain favors of Meersburg councilors towards her they should be allowed to farm the estate. The Meersburgers considered too long, so that in the meantime the Konstanzer had accessed.
The author of the photo I inserted is Reinhard Kirchner.

It's not magical columns that do it, but the view of Lake Constance is outstanding

Another little highlight on Lake Constance. Here you can relax a bit after a walk along the Meersburg, usually well-visited, promenade and old town.
