Lake Constance container

Nápověda

Intro

The Lake Constance Container in Romanshorn is arguably the most beautiful mini-museum in Switzerland. It showcases fascinating stories about transportation in the Lake Constance region. The highlights of this converted shipping container include a three-dimensional illuminated model of Lake Constance with peepholes and a walkway leading up to the container’s roof. Visitors can leave their mark on a chalkboard wall.

Description

To Bella Italia and back – these were the instructions issued to the Lindau Messenger, a courier service that operated between Lindau and Milan from the early 14th century until 1826. A visit to the new container of discovery in Romanshorn soon reveals the major role played by the Lake Constance Region in the history of transport.

The three-dimensional Lake Constance light fixture set up inside the container has peepholes through which visitors can gain some interesting insights into the transport histories of Romanshorn, Bregenz, Lindau, Friedrichshafen and Kreuzlingen/Constance. The stair-access to the container roof provides visitors with a real-life view of the players in these histories. There is also a chalk board where visitors can leave a message.
