Health insurance in Kreuzlingen: what you need to know
Kreuzlingen sits at the western tip of Lake Constance and is, after Frauenfeld, the second-largest town in Thurgau. Living here means the lake is practically on your doorstep — with its German neighbour right next door.
Kreuzlingen is in the Canton of Thurgau — which forms a single premium region. Your premium therefore doesn't depend on which municipality in the canton you live in, only on the insurer and model you choose. That's exactly why comparing pays off: basic benefits are identical everywhere by law, only the price differs.

Right on the border with Konstanz. Kreuzlingen is the largest Swiss town on Lake Constance and, with around 23,000 people, the second-largest in Thurgau — it has effectively grown together with the German city of Konstanz. If things get urgent, the Cantonal Hospital Münsterlingen (Spital Thurgau) sits a few kilometres along the lakeshore as your nearest acute hospital with its own emergency department.
Commuting across the border for work? Then you get to choose. The Kreuzlingen district has more cross-border workers coming from Germany than anywhere else in the canton. If you're one of them, you make a one-time call: health insurance here (KVG) or in your country of residence — a choice you make within three months of starting the job. And if you live in Kreuzlingen, the whole of Thurgau is a single premium region, so your premium depends only on the insurer and model you pick — not on where in the canton you live.
