Niederburg Old Town
Niederburg
Konstanz's oldest quarter, with winding narrow lanes, half-timbered houses and traditional taverns. It was spared bombing in World War II.
Niederburg lies between the cathedral and the Rhine. It is Konstanz's oldest district and was home to fishermen and craftspeople in the Middle Ages. Because the city lay right beside the Swiss border, it was spared bombing in World War II, and the Old Town has remained largely intact. The narrow lanes are lined with colorful houses and old wells. Visitors will find 'Weinstube' wine taverns, where you can taste Lake Constance white wine and lake fish. It is best explored on foot, along with the cathedral and the Rheintor tower.
