Origin & history
The shores of Lake Constance near Arbon have been inhabited since the Stone Age . Archaeological digs in 1885 and 1944 have uncovered stilt houses from the Stone and Bronze Ages . At first, it was assumed that these were built over water, since they were raised on stilts. However, it is now known that they were on the shore and were built in this fashion because the ground was swampy. During Roman times, Bergli was probably a Roman fort. The raised situation and view over the lake were strategically important. Since 1957, regular excavations have shown the remains of late Roman fortifications.
