Gaienhofen (German pronunciation: [ɡaɪənˈhoːfn̩]) is a municipality in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. It is located at the border with Switzerland.

Since 1974, Gaienhofen consists of four villages: Gaienhofen, Gundholzen, Hemmenhofen and Horn. Attractions, apart from the Lake of Constance, include the Hermann-Hesse-Höri-Museum and the Museum Haus Dix.

It is home to one or more prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site.[3]

Gaienhofen is twinned with:

• Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, France
• Balatonföldvár, Hungary

There are two landing stages, Gaienhofen and Hemmenhofen. Between spring and autumn, the URh offers regular boat services on the High Rhine and Untersee between Schaffhausen and Kreuzlingen, via Konstanz.
