Abstract This contribution tells the history of the limnological institutes, which were founded at the shores of Lake Constance. The history starts in the late 19th century examining the scientific and personal background of two institutes, the “Anstalt fur Bodenseeforschung” in Konstanz-Staad (no longer existing) and the “Institut fur Seenforschung und Seenbewirtschaftung” in Langenargen, both founded in 1919/1920. It follows the turbulent history of the institutes during the early 20th century, the 3rd Reich, and the Federal Republic of Germany and examines their competition until their unification in 1970. A third institute, the precursor of the current Limnological Institute of the University of Konstanz was founded in 1948 in the small Black Forest village Falkau, and moved to Konstanz in 1970. In addition, the role of leading limnologists of their time, e.g. Max Auerbach, Reinhard Demoll, Hans-Joachim Elster and August Thienemann in founding and shaping these institutes is described.
