The island of Mainau in Lake Constance is an experience at any time of year and warmly invites you to enjoy its park and gardens in the fresh air. It offers fascinating views and insights across 45 hectares and never ceases to amaze with its magnificent blooms.
The island of Mainau is operated by a limited liability company, Mainau GmbH. The island and all its properties were transferred to the company in 1974 by Lennart Count Bernadotte and his wife Sonja Countess Bernadotte. Mainau GmbH employs 150 permanent staff and 30 trainees throughout the year, with a total of 400 people employed during the flowering season from March to October. The park and gardens are open all year round. The GmbH's operating divisions are the profit centres ‘Park, Garden and Forest’, “Catering” and ‘Souvenirs’ as well as the corresponding internal service providers. The sole shareholder of Mainau GmbH is the Lennart Bernadotte Foundation, a non-profit foundation with legal capacity under civil law.
