Gemeinde Berlingen, Berlingen

Address

Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Berlingen

The oldest part of the village of Berlingen lies on the alluvial delta of the Wildbach, where the Untersee is widest in the north and the Seerücken is steepest and highest in the south. The lake level has an average height of 396 meters above sea level. Finds show that in prehistoric times in Gupfen, east of the old village center, there was already a pile dwelling settlement. At the time of the Romans - around 370 AD - according to unsecured reports, a watchtower is said to have been built over the White Rock, directly on the border with Steckborn. It was part of the line of defense that the Roman Emperor Valentinian had built from Basel to Bregenz to secure the border against Germania. In the year 894 Berlingen was first mentioned in a document under the name "Perenwang" or "Berenwang" - which means nothing more than Flur des Bero. As a result, the name of the settlement on the lake changed several times, to "Bernach" and finally to "Bernang", then to "Berlang". It was not until 1750 that the village was given the name "Berlingen". Berlingen was tied to the Reichenau Monastery as early as the early Middle Ages. The monastery island in the Untersee was initially called "Sintlas-Aue". Sintlas was an Alemannic nobleman who had his ancestral seat at the castle "Sandegg", which was enthroned east of Berlingen high above the Untersee. After the castle fell victim to a conflagration in 1833, there is now a viewing terrace at the castle site with one of the most beautiful views over the Untersee and across to the German shore. This viewpoint belongs to the Eugensberg Castle Estate and is privately owned, but open to the public. Berlingen has its coat of arms from the Reichenauer period, which shows two gold rings on a blue background. The rings symbolize the bond with the monastery and the blue ground for the lake. According to legend, the Berling Altar in the monastery in Mittelzell comes from the chapel in Berlingen. It is said to have been thrown into the lake by the iconoclasts during the Reformation and fished again as floating debris by the Reichenauers. In the Kehlhof, the "Big House", a splendid half-timbered building at the western end of the village, which was built in 1686, lived the last Klostermeier, who drew tithes for the abbot and the monks on the Reichenau from the Berlingen. There were natural products, especially wine, schnapps, grain, animals (meat), fish, then also handicraft products such as leather, boots and shoes. Two citizens of Berling in particular have become known far beyond the country's borders. The painter Adolf Dietrich (1877 - 1957) achieved world fame as a naive painter. His pictures hang in all major museums around the world and are sought after by collectors. The catalog of works contains more than 1000 pictures. A permanent, well-looked-after museum of the Thurgau Art Society has been set up in his birthplace and home on Seestrasse west of the church. Minister Johann Konrad Kern (1808 - 1888) went down in Swiss history as one of the most important statesmen of the 19th century. Kern was among other things editor of the Federal Constitution of 1848, first President of the Federal Supreme Court, President of the National Council 1850/51, President of the Swiss School Council, co-founder of the ETH in Zurich and from 1857 to 1883 Swiss envoy in Paris. As a diplomat, he distinguished himself several times as a peacemaker.
