Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Oberwil-Lieli

The first documented reference to a settlement at the location of today's village of Oberwil comes from the year 1040. The original name "Willare" changed over time to "Weilere" (1178 and 1184) and later to "Oberen Wiler" (1315) . The origin of the village name with the ending "-wil" ​​is derived on the one hand from the Latin word "viculus" (small homestead) and on the other hand from the Latin name of a Roman mansion ("villa"). The discovery of a Roman mosaic floor in the northeast corner of the cemetery in 1864 proves the existence of a residential area at the site of the parish church "St. Michael" in Roman times and allows the conclusion that our community was named "Oberwil" from this "villa" " had received. Until the conquest of Aargau by the Confederates in 1415, our village belonged to the domain of the House of Habsburg-Laufenburg. The exercise of sovereignty was transferred from the Habsburgs to fiefdoms who, as bailiffs, exercised tax and jurisdiction. In 1445 the village was devastated by the original Swiss during the old Zurich War. 84 years later, the storms of religious battles swept over the settlement. As the first church of the cellar office, our ancestors professed the new faith. However, they only remained true to the new teaching for a few years. The victory of the five catholic towns over the reformed Zurich in the battle of Kappel in 1531 brought about recatholicization. In the first Villmerger War of 1656, the village was again plundered and devastated and the village church, as in 1445, destroyed. All that remains is the 11th century church tower. Today's church was consecrated on October 24, 1676 by the Vicar General in Constance in honor of St. Michael. It was last renovated in the years 1968/69 and in 1989 an external renovation and has been under monument protection as a monument of regional importance for many years. The Bremgarten parish church has received bailiff tax since the old Zurich War. The sovereign rights lay with the city of Bremgarten, while the high level of jurisdiction was exercised by Zurich. With the creation of the canton of Aargau in Napoleon's mediation constitution of 1803, our village became part of the canton of Aargau. Lieli was an independent municipality until 1908. The name is also of Roman origin and is derived from the wild vine or clematis, which we know under the name "Nielen". Today this old name can only be found in the language of the long-established "Nieler". The unification to a single political municipality took place at that time in view of the bad financial situation. Oberwil was designated the takeover municipality by the Great Council of the Canton of Aargau, while the public institutions and the school in Lieli were dissolved. Over time, the weight of the two villages has changed significantly. This development was taken into account with the change of name to "Oberwil-Lieli" on January 1, 1984. Oberwil-Lieli belongs to that part of the Bremgarten district that is known as the basement office. A considerable part of the approximately 10.5 km long municipal boundary is also the border with the canton of Zurich. The beautifully situated municipality on the sunny slopes of the Reuss valley is also called "Holzbirrliberg". The municipal coat of arms, which depicts a pear tree with thirteen golden fruits, is derived from this name. The village has always been a farming settlement. In addition to arable farming and cattle breeding, vines were also an important source of income for the population, who were mainly active in agriculture. Since agriculture did not provide a livelihood for all members of the growing peasant families, the young men in particular had to look for a new home in a foreign country or undertake to do paid service. It is known of the brothers Jakob and Jost Brändli that one in the French service became colonel and the other lieutenant general of Louis XIV. The proximity to the city of Zurich with a distance of less than 12 km is responsible for the structural development since the mid-1960s. The population was 550 in 1960, 750 in 1970, 1190 in 1980, 1550 in 1990, 1750 in 2000 and 2147 in 2010. Today the residents are mainly active in the tertiary service sector in the economic area of ​​Zurich. Only a few families still find their livelihood in agriculture, which still has around 316 hectares of usable area. A further 219 ha of the total area of ​​around 535 ha are accounted for by around 130 ha in forest and water and around 89 ha in built-up areas. The traffic development of the village in connection with the motorway connections N4 / N20 has placed great demands on the community in recent years. The Lieli tunneling project was successfully inaugurated in 2008. The municipality has developed very well economically - it is now one of the most tax-efficient municipalities in the canton of Aargau. One can only hope that the traditions and peculiarities of the place as well as the rural character will defy the changes and thus be preserved for future generations.
