Reichenau Island is an island in Lake Constance in southern Germany.
It lies almost due west of the city of Konstanz, between the Gnadensee and the Untersee, two parts of Lake Constance.
With a total land surface of 4.3 square kilometres and a circumference of 11 kilometres, the island is 4.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide at its greatest extent.
The highest point, the Hochwart, stands some 43 metres above the lake surface and 438.7 metres above mean sea level.
Reichenau is connected to the mainland by a causeway, completed in 1838, which is intersected between the ruins of Schopflen Castle and the eastern end of Reichenau Island by a 10-metre-wide and 95-metre long waterway, the Bruckgraben.
A low road bridge allows the passage of ordinary boats but not of sailing-boats.
The island was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000 because of its monastery, the Abbey of Reichenau.
The Abbey stood along a main north–south highway between Germany and Italy, where the lake passage eased the arduous route.
The Abbey of Reichenau housed a school, and a scriptorium and artists' workshop, that has a claim to having been the largest and artistically most influential centre for producing lavishly illuminated manuscripts in Europe during the late 10th and early 11th centuries, often known as the Reichenau School.
The abbey's Münster (minster church) is dedicated to the Virgin and Saint Mark.
Two further churches were built on the island consecrated to Saint George and to Saints Peter and Paul.
The famous artworks of Reichenau include (in the church of St George) the Ottonian murals of miracles of Christ, unique survivals from the 10th century.
The abbey's bailiff was housed in a two-storey stone building to which two more storeys of timber framing were added in the 14th century, one of the oldest timber-frame buildings in south Germany.
Among the Abbey's far-flung landholdings was Reichenau, a village on the upper Rhine in the municipality of Tamins in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, named for the Abbey.
Today the island is also famous for its vegetable farms.
The Wollmatinger Ried next to the island is a large nature preserve, a wetland area of reeds which is used by many birds as a stopover during their annual migration.

The Abbey of Lorsch is a former Imperial abbey in Lorsch, Germany, about 10 km east of Worms.
It was one of the most renowned monasteries of the Carolingian Empire.
Even in its ruined state, its remains are among the most important pre-Romanesque–Carolingian style buildings in Germany.
Its chronicle, entered in the Lorscher Codex compiled in the 1170s is a fundamental document for early medieval German history.
Another famous document from the monastic library is the Codex Aureus of Lorsch.
In 1991 the ruined abbey was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The abbey was founded in 764 by the Frankish Count Cancor and his widowed mother Williswinda as a proprietary church and monastery on their estate, Laurissa.
It was dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
The founders entrusted its government to Cancor's nephew Chrodegang, Archbishop of Metz, who became its first abbot.
The pious founders enriched the new abbey by further donations.
To make the abbey popular as a shrine and a place of pilgrimage, Chrodegang obtained from Pope Paul I the body of Saint Nazarius, martyred at Rome with three companions under Diocletian.
In 1248 Premonstratensian monks from Allerheiligen were given charge of the monastery with the sanction of Pope Celestine IV.
During the Thirty Years' War Lorsch and its neighbourhood suffered greatly.
In 1621, Spanish troops pillaged the abbey and most of the buildings at Lorsch were pulled down.
After the Archbishopric of Mainz regained possession of it in 1623, the region was returned to the Catholic faith.
However, the abbey remained a ruin and served as a source of building materials for the whole region.
The most depressed period for Lorsch was during the wars of Louis XIV of France in the late 17th century.
Whole villages in the region were laid in ruins, the homes of the peasantry were burned, and the French soldiers torched the old abbey buildings.
One portion, which was left intact, served as a tobacco warehouse in the years before World War I.
The ancient entrance hall, the Königshalle or aula regia, built in the ninth century by King Louis II, is the oldest monument of Carolingian architecture.

Museum Island (German: Museumsinsel) is the name of the northern half of an island in the Spree river in the central Mitte district of Berlin, Germany, the site of the old city of Cölln.
A first exhibition hall was erected in 1797 at the suggestion of the archaeologist Aloys Hirt.
In 1822, Schinkel designed the plans for the Altes Museum to house the royal Antikensammlung, the arrangement of the collection was overseen by Wilhelm von Humboldt.
The island, originally a residential area, was dedicated to art and science by King Frederick William IV of Prussia in 1841.
Further extended under succeeding Prussian kings, the museum's collections of art and archeology were turned into a public foundation after 1918.
They are today maintained by the Berlin State Museums branch of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
It is so called for the complex of internationally significant museums, all part of the Berlin State Museums, that occupy the island's northern part:
The Altes Museum (Old Museum) named as the Königliches Museum when it was built on August 3, 1830, until it was renamed in 1841.
The museum was completed on the orders of Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
The Neues Museum (New Museum) finished in 1859 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler, a student of Schinkel.
Destroyed in World War II, it was rebuilt under the direction of David Chipperfield for the Egyptian Museum of Berlin and re-opened in 2009.
The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) completed in 1876, also according to designs by Friedrich August Stüler, to host a collection of 19th-century art donated by banker Joachim H. W. Wagener
The Bode Museum on the island's northern tip, opened in 1904 and then called Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum.
It exhibits the sculpture collections and late Antique and Byzantine art.
The Pergamon Museum, constructed in 1930.
It contains multiple reconstructed immense and historically significant buildings such as the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate of Babylon.
The Humboldt Forum will open in 2019 in the Berlin Palace opposite the Lustgarten park, and will incorporate the Ethnological Museum of Berlin and the Museum of Asian Art;
both are successor institutions of the Ancient Prussian Art Chamber, which was also located in the Berlin Palace and which was established in the mid 16th century.
In 1999, the museum complex was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
