A District Created on the Shore of Lake Constance

Bodenseekreis is a district in the south-east of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It stretches along the northern shore of Lake Constance, known in German as the Bodensee, and has its administrative centre in Friedrichshafen.

The modern district was created on 1 January 1973 during the administrative reform of Baden-Württemberg. It brought together the former district of Tettnang and most of the former district of Überlingen, combining areas with both Württemberg and Baden historical traditions.

The coat of arms of the newly formed district was granted by the regional authorities in Tübingen on 27 February 1976. Its symbols were selected to connect the district’s location beside Lake Constance with its regional history and industrial development.

What Do the Waves and Golden Wheel Represent?

• Blue shield: The waters of Lake Constance and the district’s geographical identity.
• Three silver wavy lines: Lake Constance, which gives the district its name and shapes much of its landscape.
• Golden eight-spoked wheel: A symbol derived from the historic arms of the Lords of Markdorf and Raderach.
• The wheel’s modern meaning: The district’s important industrial and manufacturing traditions.
• Yellow and blue flag colours: The principal colours taken from the district coat of arms.

Durable Construction and Convenient Attachment

The Bodenseekreis flag is manufactured from lightweight 115 g/m² polyester. Reinforced edges and double stitched seams provide additional strength, while two rust-resistant brass grommets allow convenient attachment to a suitable flagpole, wall, balcony railing or display fixture.
