Cultur and History

The 600th anniversary of the Council, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, museums, stages, music: Constance fascinates with its high-quality culture and history rich in tradition. One of the highlights is the only valid election of the Pope north of the Alps during the Council of Constance 600 years ago. Relics and buildings from that time can still be discovered throughout the city. Germany's oldest theater stage, which has been in permanent operation since 1607, and the Southwest German Philharmonic Orchestra also enchant visitors with their multifaceted programs throughout the year, and museums such as the Rosgarten Museum, the State Archaeological Museum and the Hus Museum invite visitors to take a lively journey through time.
