The site was discovered between 1856 and 1857 by M. Koch, and is the reference site of the “Hornstaad Group”. The site was examined by the Baden-Württemberg Department of Antiquities and Monuments as early as 1973, and intensively studied from 1982-1993, in the context of a Priority Program of the German Research Foundation. Hornstaad-Hörnle is one of the longest and best studied pile dwelling sites around the Lake of Constance. Altogether, five settlement areas were identified, that include sites associated with the Pfyner and the Horgen cultures.
