Gaienhofen

Few towns in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to the Höri artists’ colony as Gaienhofen. The community occupies the Höri peninsula, which extends into the Untersee, the western section of Lake Constance, close to the Swiss border. Writer Hermann Hesse lived here from 1904 to 1912, and the Hesse Museum Gaienhofen recalls the period when painters and writers found a working environment on the lakeshore. Gaienhofen also includes the former fishing settlements of Horn, Gundholzen and Hemmenhofen, linking its cultural reputation with the everyday character of the Lake Constance shore.
