Hiking

The parish church of St. George in Wasserburg am Bodensee belongs to the "Kirche am See" parish community. Although the church was extensively renovated in 2014, damage is once again becoming apparent. Extreme weather events and heavy rain, in particular, have taken their toll on the historic building, demonstrating how severely even listed buildings are affected by increasing weather conditions.

The Seekirche was begun 784 years ago, presumably initially as a small, wooden basilica with a visible ceiling structure. In 1403 the church tower was completed, in 1655 it was destroyed by lightning and rebuilt in the style of Elias Holl in Augsburg. The nave was extended in 1728. Inscriptions inside: Epitaph of Leopold Fugger above the sacristy door; various war memorial tablets. On three pillars, stone tablets commemorate the "Seefrörnen", the complete freezing of Lake Constance in 1573, 1830, and 1963.
