Fussach, Vorarlberg, municipality in the district of Bregenz, alt. 398 
m, pop. 3,073 (1981: pop. 2,655), area 11.50 km%%sup 2/%, situated on 
the south shore of Lake Constance in the Rhine delta; production of 
steel structures (e.g. silos) machine-building, embroidery industry, 
shipyard (Oesterreichische Schiffswerften AG). Formerly Austria's most 
important port and trading centre on Lake Constance; ever since the 
Rhine through-cut (1900), silt has been accumulating in the bay; 
nature and bird life preserve of the Rhine delta. "Fussach" became a 
political slogan when 20,000 Vorarlberger demonstrated against 
Minister O. Probst on November 21, 1964 in the shipyard and succeeded 
in renaming a new ship for Lake Constance "Vorarlberg" instead of 
"Karl Renner".
