Mainau Island, with an area of approximately 45 hectares, is the third largest island in Lake Constance.[1] As of the census date of May 15, 2022, it had around 40 permanent residents.[2] The molasse limestone cliff is located in the northwestern part of Lake Constance, known as Lake Überlingen.[3] It can be reached via a bridge from the southern shore of Lake Überlingen and has a jetty served by scheduled and excursion boats of the White Fleet. The nearest larger towns are Constance, Meersburg, and Überlingen. The island belongs to the Litzelstetten district of Constance and has been owned by the non-profit "Lennart Bernadotte Foundation" founded by Count Lennart Bernadotte since 1974. The count's family is still an important part of Mainau's attraction today.[4] The island is located on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route.
