History

At this point there was a Roman settlement, which was abandoned in the 3rd century. Later, the area came into the possession of the monastery of Reichenau. Only with the founding of the monastery Peterhausen by the Bishop of Constance Gebhard around the year 983, it came to a settlement, from which a double village was: east of the monastery, the upper village, which was to stars named after a local inn as a star quarter, and southwest of the monastery of Reichenau on the road to the lower village, lived in the servants of the monastery. The villages were relatively independent, but came increasingly under the influence of the city of Konstanz and were around 1600 to Constance suburb Peterhausen.

The development of Peterhausen but initially remained quiet. With the secularization of the monastery in 1802 and the subsequent partial decay of the monastic buildings Peterhausen lost an important driver of development. The remaining usable buildings of the monastery were used as a military hospital and expanded in 1850 to the barracks. The establishment of the military and in 1863 the connection to the Baden State Railways ensured then again whole and Peter Hausen specifically for an upturn for consistency. Since the city of Constance was limited to the south by the border with Switzerland, the increase in population, especially in the growth of Peter Hausen had an impact that spread around the former monastery. Along the shore of Lake Constance east of the star district and to the north on the road to Wollmatingen created promenades and residential area. 1912 Peter Hausen received its own elementary school, today's Theodor -Heuss -Realschule. The planned new church in 1913 was delayed and was finally consecrated conditionally only seventeen years later by the First World War and inflation. School, church and parsonage were in the new center of the district Peterhausen.

The Star district existed until the expansion of the bridge over the Rhine from 1936 to 1938. For multi-lane road layout and the railway underpass direction Staad the entire neighborhood was demolished. Only the name of the transport hub "Star Square " is reminiscent of the former village.
