Two Cities Connected by Art It is the fact that the sculptures are not located on the border, but actually directly on it, half on Swiss and half on German territory, that gives the project its unique character. The two cities are thus literally connected through art. Many people contributed to the realization of this unique project. In addition to the collaboration between the two cities and the cooperation of numerous authorities on both sides, the project owes its success primarily to the private initiative of the Johannes Dörflinger Foundation. The Kreuzlingen-based foundation contributed approximately CHF 1,000,000 to realize the project. Art Border as a Visitor Magnet and Political Document The Art Border has now become a true visitor magnet. But the eight-meter-high sculptures attract attention not only from a tourist perspective. The Art Border is also the first work of art ever to be presented at a congress of the Council of Europe in 2007, as part of the 22nd Plenary Session of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. The exhibition honored the art border as a document for a free Europe without borders and as a milestone in the history of the neighborly relationship between the two countries, Germany and Switzerland.

The origins of St. Stephen's Church date back to late Roman times. The square lies to the south, outside the first settlement and later cathedral district. The earliest building is thought to have been either a secular market and court hall or a cemetery church. The church, dedicated to St. Stephen, was already in existence when the Diocese of Constance was founded at the end of the 6th century. It may have been a wooden structure. The pre-Romanesque church was damaged or destroyed during the Hungarian invasion of 926 and was probably rebuilt under Bishop Noting. At that time, a market already existed near the church, which was still located outside the walled city. During the Council of Constance (1414–1418), the court of appeal, the Roman Rota, met in St. Stephen's. In 1428, extensive expansion work began on the building, which lasted for three-quarters of a century and gave the exterior its present form. The side aisles were doubled in size. The nave was extended by three meters, and the church was now oriented to the east. A polygonal choir was added on the east side. The clerestory windows received Gothic tracery. In 1483, construction of the tower added to the south was begun. However, all of this work reflects a chronic shortage of funds. Gothic modifications were kept to a minimum and retained in simple early Gothic forms.

The pre-Reformation furnishings of St. Stephen's were largely lost in the turmoil of the Reformation. Only a portion of the current furnishings were created specifically for St. Stephen's. Many pieces come from elsewhere. The choir stalls, along with eight oil paintings of saints mounted above them, date from the early 15th century (partly from the cathedral). The stained-glass windows depicting saints, which have been installed in 1863, flanking the historicist central window in the choir, were probably created by Claus Nithard around the middle of the 15th century. Among the 16th-century contributions, the tabernacle, created by Hans Morinck in 1594, stands out. With its rich and vibrant figural program, it is one of the most important examples of its kind. Several epitaphs in the choir are by the same sculptor. The cycle of apostle images with credo texts on the nave pillars, which was uncovered during the recent restoration, is slightly older.

Powder Tower: It formed the corner of the inner city wall along the Rhine. Speculation about the circumstances and exact date of its construction is not historically verifiable. Today, the Powder Tower serves as the guild hall of the Niederburg Carnival Guild.

The Konstanz Funnel is the bay of Lake Constance east of Konstanz and north of Kreuzlingen. The outflow of the Upper Lake begins in the Konstanz Funnel, leading into the Seerhein. The eastern boundary of the Konstanz Funnel is roughly the line between the Hörnle (southeast tip of the Bodanrück) in the north and Bottighofen on the southern, Swiss shore, as well as the old Rhine bridge in the west. The Konstanz Funnel is the only area of the Upper Lake where a sovereign border exists between the neighboring countries – in this case, Germany and Switzerland – and even then, only in the western part near Konstanz.[1] The Dominican Island, belonging to the city of Konstanz, lies at the western end of the Konstanz Funnel on the left bank.
