Lake Constance Ger. Bodensee, lake, 208 sq mi (539 sq km), bordering on Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. It is 42 mi (68 km) long and has a maximum depth of 827 ft (252 m). The lake is fed and drained by the Rhine River and divides near the city of Konstanz (Constance) into two arms, Untersee and Überlinger See. The main body of the lake is called the Obersee. Fruit is grown on the lake's fertile shores, and wine making and fishing are major industries. The chief towns and cities of the lake are Konstanz, Friedrichshafen, and Lindau, all in Germany; Bregenz in Austria; and Rorschach in Switzerland. Remains of lake dwellings have been found.

Constance, Lake

Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names | 2005 | | Copyright

Constance, Lake (German: Bodensee), Canada, Austria‐Germany‐Switzerland Europe: a lake named after the German town of Konstanz. The Roman name, Lacus Brigantinus, is the Latin version of modern Bregenz, Austria, at the eastern end of the lake. The present German name is probably associated with the Carolingian imperial palatinate of Bodman, a name which may have come from an Indo‐European root word for ‘water’; See means ‘lake’.
