Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Münchwilen

On a pleasant hill near Münchweiler, a small village between Stein and Eiken in the Frickthale, an old hermitage rises up with a consecrated church and a garden walled around it. The writings that would shed light on their origins have been lost. The community claims that they gave the first hermit land to build on, with the condition that it should only be returned to them when the hermitage left; she also took over the necessary loads for every necessary building improvement ... ". Thus begins a treatise on the "Hermitage of Münchweiler" from 1844 in the first volume "The Canton of Aargau" (Huber and Cie., St. Gallen and Bern) by the then canton librarian Franz Xaver Bronner. The exact origin of the Münchwilen community is actually not clear. What is certain is that the area was already known to the Romans and Alemanni. The actual village is supposed to start with the construction of the monks' settlement mentioned and the chapel “St. Ursula ”was created around 1110 (at the time the cathedral was being built in Säckingen / Germany). According to one interpretation, this hermitage may have given the village its name (hamlet of the monks, Mönchsweiler). We find the first mention as "Munchwille" around 1306 in the Habsburg land register. The hermitage, which almost collapsed at the end of the 16th century, which at that time belonged to the St. Martin monastery in Rheinfelden, was restored around 1719 by the last hermit, Johann Werner (died 1791). Until 1760, Münchwilen and Stein formed a single community. The separation began when there was a disagreement about mutual citizens' purchases, the appointment and remuneration of the jury and the baton holder, etc. Münchwilen was under Austrian rule until 1801, then belonged to the canton of Fricktal for 375 days and was incorporated into the canton of Aargau in 1803. Sebastian Fahrländer, the founder and only President of the canton of Fricktal, was a citizen of the Münchwilen community. Until the middle of the last century, the inhabitants found their livelihood in agriculture. Later they switched to factory work in the new Swiss industries in neighboring Säckingen. The agricultural products could also be sold in this city. The First World War interrupted the very close relations with Germany. After the war, a large part of the population found their earnings in the local trade and in the industrial companies, which in recent years - thanks to the very good traffic situation (SBB train station and Rhine crossing Stein-Säckingen as well as motorway connection N3 in Eiken) - also in have settled in the immediate vicinity. In the few remaining farms, the main focus was on arable farming, so that in 1974 the milk collection point was closed. In 2002 there were still 4 farms in Münchwilen. For a long time Münchwilen was one of the smallest places in the Laufenburg district. Due to the construction of single-family houses, the population doubled from 297 in 1950 to 602 at the beginning of 1978. Since then, although there has been constant construction, the "net increase" in residents has been rather low, which is also due to the fact that the former large households , in which often 3 generations lived, have gradually disappeared. - The population ranged between 630 and 650 in 1989/1990. In the 1990s the population fell to 579. The population is slowly increasing again. At the beginning of 2002, 611 people were registered with the residents' registration office. At the end of 2012, 892 people lived in Münchwilen. Münchwilen has largely fulfilled the most important infrastructure tasks in the last decades and years. In 1959, the spring water supply that had existed up to that point was replaced by a new, modern groundwater supply, and as early as 1961 the schoolhouse and gymnasium were built. In 1969 the parish built a new parish hall and in 1976 a kindergarten building and a cemetery hall were built. In 1978, after the various municipal sewer lines were gradually built, the connection to the communal wastewater treatment plant in Bad-Säckingen / Germany took place. In cooperation with the canton, Münchwilen received a new entrance to the village in 1982. - After the previous gymnasium burned down practically completely in a major fire on April 4, 1984, the construction of a new multi-purpose hall was an urgent necessity. This, combined with a large village festival, was inaugurated in autumn 1985. In 1990, a contemporary, modern sports, leisure and civil defense facility was added to it. In recent times the construction and expansion of access roads have been one of the main tasks of the municipalities. The actual village, which is a bit away from the traffic routes, retained its rural character. It is accessible with a post bus line. Village associations in all areas guarantee cultural variety and social get-togethers. An inn, the Restaurant Post, takes care of the physical well-being. Münchwilen survived the development from a former farming village to a residential and industrial village. Münchwilen has remained a village with qualities; a village to live in. Small and fine at home in Münchwilen ...
