There is documented evidence of winegrowing in Meersburg since 1324. The historic buildings from the early 18th century and the vineyards were owned by the Prince-Bishops of Constance until 1802/1803. During secularization, the winery fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became the first wine-growing domain in Germany as the Grand Ducal Baden Domain Winery. After the First World War, in 1919, it was renamed Meersburg State Winery. As the legal successor to the state of Baden, the state winery now belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Impressive building on the vineyard

The Meersburg State Winery towers above vineyards.

Nice tour on Lake Constance

The name Hersberg is probably derived from the Old High German root word hari/heri for mountain range.[1] The first unsecured written reference is a mention of the brothers Berctoldus and Heinricus von Herisberg in 1276. What is certain is that in 1466 the Hersberg was in the fief of the Überlingen citizen and later Fürstenberg vassal Konrad Rudolf von Härsberg. In 1621 the Benedictines of the Ochsenhausen monastery bought the Hersberg from Härsberg's descendants. After secularization, the monastic property passed to Prince Franz Georg Karl von Metternich in 1803, father of the Austrian State Minister Prince von Metternich. Hersberg was then bought by the House of Württemberg[2] in 1806 and by Prince Konstantin zu Salm-Reifferscheidt in 1838. In an exchange with Waggershausen near Friedrichshafen, the Württemberg exclave of Herrschberg - the name of the territory around Hersberg Castle - became Baden in 1846. Franz zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck, the descendant of Constantine, sold the castle property on February 7, 1929 to the Pallottines (“Society of the Catholic Apostolate”), who ran the “St. Josef-Hersberg” maintained school operations.[3] In 1994 it was reopened as the Pallottine Spiritual House (Wikipedia).

With children at the playground on the gently sloping pebble beach - very nice, trees on the square and water jet fountain with rivulets - great for the whole family 👍

The Deutschordenschloss was built from 739 to 1746 according to the designs of Johann Caspar Bagnato and under his supervision. Despite limited finances, an architecturally highly balanced, symmetrical palace complex of great harmony was created. The arms of the two side wings open towards the mainland in the shape of a horseshoe. In contrast, the wide side faces the lake. The building rests on a plinth over which two floors rise. Magnificent on the west gable: the coats of arms of the Grand Master Clemens August von Bayern, the Land Commander Philipp von Froberg and the Mainau Commander Friedrich von Baden. The east gable on the sea side bears the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order. In his design, Bagnato dispenses with a magnificent representative staircase based on the Würzburg model. The upper floors can be reached via simple staircases in the side wings. The heart of the castle is the former audience hall, the so-called "White Hall", which is kept in white and gold and only got its current appearance in 1883. It is only open to the public for concerts or special events. The Coat of Arms Hall, the central room in the basement of the original Corps de Logis, is also open to the public for changing exhibitions. In addition, the rooms of the castle café in the transition to the palm house. With their clear architectural language, the castle and church form a magnificent, harmonious ensemble - they are a unique example of southern German baroque.

Those who spend their holidays on Lake Constance should definitely visit the island of Mainau. The island is a feast for the eyes in terms of floral diversity. But the butterfly house and the monstrous sequoias are also a feast for the eyes and offer countless photo perspectives.
