The Dominican Island or Constance Island ((ドイツ語:Dominikanerinsel) or ドイツ語:''Konstanzer Insel'')〔Internationale Gewässerschutzkommission für den Bodensee (eds.): ''Der Bodensee. Zustand – Fakten – Perspektiven'', IGKB, Bregenz, 2004, ISBN 3-902290-04-8, p. 9, table 1.2-1: Kenndaten zum Bodensee ((Online ))〕 is an island in Lake Constance immediately east of the city of Constance. With an area of 1.8 hectares, it is one of the smaller islands in the lake. The island is separated from the city center by a six metre wide channel, and connected to it by a bridge. The island is dominated by the Steigenberger hotel, which is housed in the former Dominican convent. == Geography == The Dominican Island, 246 m long from north to south and up to 100 m wide. The channel that separates the island from the mainland is 210 m long, but only 6 m wide. The channel is on the western side of the island; opposite the island is the Niederburg section of the old city center. The channel used to be much wider〔Otto Feger: ''Kleine Geschichte der Stadt Konstanz'', 1957〕 and was partially filled for the construction of the railway line. The island is barely recognizable as such because the narrow channel is visible only to pedestrians walking on the wharf along the old waterfront.〔Heinz Finke: ''Inselspaziergänge. Werd Liebesinsel Reichenau Mainau Dominikanerinsel Lindau'', Constancd, 1990, p. 20〕 The Constance railway station and the port are about 600 m south of the bridge. The road to the railway station leads past the city park. In the south, the swan pond lies between the island and the city park. The city parks sits on a piece of the lake that was filled in in 1880. Even after this water was filled in, the Swan Pond is not completely surrounded by land. In the northwest, the pond abuts the city canal; is the southeast, the pond is separated from the open lake by a 15 m wide bottleneck. This compound falls dry at low tide. The Swan Pond is almost 90 m long and up to 30 m wide, it covers an area of about 1,800 square feet. The northern tip of the island is located 30 m from the Old Rhine Bridge, at the point where the Seerhein flows out of the Upper Lake towards the Lower Lake. The chapter house is located to the north of the main building. The hotel car park separates the two buildings. To the east of the island is the Constance Hopper part of Lake Constance. Here we find the famous terrace of the hotel's restaurant, as well as, further south, the hotel's lido and recreation lawn. At the southern end of the lawn, there is a pavilion. In the central building of the hotel, we find the grave of Manuel Chrysoloras, who died here during the Council of Constance. The island belongs to urban district ''Altstadt'' ("Old Town"). On 31 December 2008, 21 people reported having their principal residence on Dominican Island.〔Result of a search in the register of the city of Constance on 4 May 2009 for the street address ''Auf der Insel 1''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dominicans Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
