Andelshofen is a village in the municipality of Überlingen, in the west of the Bodenseekreis in southwest Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located about 2.5 km (1.6 miles) northwest of Überlingen, just southeast of the Andelshofer Weiher, and has a population of 106.[1]
History
[edit]Andelshofen was first mentioned 1239, and historically referred to as Andelsowe.[2] The town was partially owned by the Überlingen Knights Hospitaller (German: Johanniterorden) from the 13th century until 1803.[3][2] The village burned down in 1552 and 1634, and was rebuilt each time.[2] The lower jurisdiction belonged to the commandery, whereas the higher jurisdiction belonged to the Grafschaft Heiligenberg, and from 1776 onwards, to the Free Imperial City of Überlingen. Andelshofen became a part of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1805,[2][3] and was an independent municipality within Überlingen until 1927,[2] when the Baden state parliament decided on a merger of Andelshofen and Überlingen.[citation needed] The areas of Hagenweiler and Schönbuch, which had formerly belonged to Andelshofen, went to the municipalities of Lippertsreute and Bambergen in 1928.[citation needed]
In 1882, the old Andelshofen church was demolished. Construction on the new church began on 22 July 1883. The new neo-gothic church of St. Verena was consecrated on 8 February 1885. In 1934, the church and tower were renovated and a sacristy was added. In the summer of 1968, the church was renovated again.[4]
In March 2026, a historic barn near the Johanniter-Kreuz hotel burned down, causing 300,000 Euros worth of damage to the Johanniter-Kreuz hotel.[5]
