Tägermoos is a low-lying meadow and borderland in the Thurgau region of Switzerland lying adjacent to the German city of Konstanz. It is notable for its use as agricultural land and sports fields and for its unusual cross-border administrative arrangements.

The landscape is primarily open meadow and cultivated fields with paths and recreational areas used by locals; it does not function as a formal tourism attraction but is visible from the nearby shore of Lake Constance. The site is of interest for those studying border geography because Swiss and German authorities have long-standing special arrangements for land use and management.

The area’s administrative arrangements date from historic agreements that govern land ownership and use across the Austria- and later Switzerland-Germany frontier; specific local agreements define who manages agricultural leases and infrastructure.

Tägermoos lies between the Swiss municipality of Kreuzlingen and the German city of Konstanz on the western shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee), immediately adjacent to the urban edge of Konstanz.

  • Cross-border administration: The area is agricultural and recreational rather than a built urban park, and it is notable for administrative arrangements that cross the Switzerland-Germany border.
