Lindenberg im Allgäu (Low Alemannic: Lindaberg) is the second largest town of the district of Lindau in Bavaria, Germany. It is an acknowledged air health resort.

History

The town was first mentioned in 857, when two nobles donated in "Lintiberc" to the monastery of St. Gall.

In 1570, the Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg acquired the demesne of the heirless sovereignty of Altenburg, including Lindenberg, back then a consolidation of about 70 farms.

The city fell to Bavaria in 1805 as part of Napoleon's Treaty of Pressburg.

As early as 1656 straw hats from Lindenberg were sold by peddling and in markets. In 1755, the production and shipping of straw hats became organized. The hat industry has declined in recent decades and now has hardly any economic importance. Hat making is still remembered today in an annual "Huttag" ("hat day") as well as in a hat museum.

Education

Lindenberg has a primary school, a Mittelschule, a Realschule and a Gymnasium. One notable Gymnasium is Gymnasium Lindenberg.[3]

The Humboldt-Institut for German as a foreign language runs a boarding school for international students as well as accommodate international students enrollment into public and private schools.

The Bavarian Red Cross runs vocational schools for Nursing and Elderly Care in Lindenberg.
