Stockach Map Poster & Print

Stockach sits a short distance from the western end of Lake Constance, where the Überlinger See narrows into farmland and wooded hills. From above, the town splits into two levels. A compact upper town holds the ridge, and a lower town spreads along the valley of the Stockacher Aach, the small river that carries water down toward the lake.

The street pattern shows this split clearly. Short, tightly packed lanes crowd the high ground, while the lower districts open into longer roads, newer housing and commercial strips. Major routes gather here too, and the motorway links that pass close to the town add long, smooth curves to an otherwise small-scale map. The contrast between old knot and modern ribbons is what gives a Stockach map poster its character.

The town is best known in Germany for its Narrengericht, the fools' court, a carnival institution that locals trace back to the fourteenth century and the jester Hans Kuony. Every year the court holds a mock trial of a public figure. It is an unusual tradition for a town of under twenty thousand people, and it gives Stockach a reputation well beyond its size.
