From Meyer's Universum, published by Bibliographic Institute Hildburghausen Germany. Click here or image for larger version Lindau city, Bavaria Land (state), extreme southern Germany, on an island in Lake Constance, connected to the mainland by two bridges, southeast of Friedrichshafen. It was the site of a Roman camp, Tiberii, and of a Benedictine abbey founded in 810. Fortified in the 12th century, it became an imperial free city in 1275 and was a prosperous merchant town along the trade route from Italy. The abbey was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1466 until it was secularized in 1802. The town was ruled by Austria in 1804 and passed to Bavaria in 1805. The communities of the “Garden City” on the lake's north shore were incorporated with Lindau in 1922. The city retains a medieval and Baroque appearance. Among notable landmarks are the old town hall (1422–36; remodeled 1578), the collegiate church of the old abbey (1751), St. Stephen's Church (1180), and the 19th-century Bavarian lion at the entrance to the small harbour. A renowned summer resort and tourist centre, Lindau is also a customs station. There is a lake steamer service to Austria and Switzerland. Pop. (1989 est.) 23,699.
