Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Möriken-Wildegg

When a small chapel was built on the Möriker church hill around 1200, it was ordered to protect Antonius the Great. Antony, born in Middle Egypt around 250, was a Nubian of dark skin. Early Christianity saw Antony as the African and presented him in a simplistic way as the Negro. Many localities whose church patron Antonius the Great is today have a Moor in their municipal coat of arms, including our municipality. The Sechsberg was taken from the family coat of arms of the castle lords of Wildegg. The Alemannic courts mostly had names that ended with -ingen, -iken or -kon. The names Muorinkon, Murinchon, Moerinchon, Mörinkon found in the documents from that time all have a connection with the two name elements. In 1592 a boundary stone with the Mohren coat of arms was set in the Lindwald, at the municipal triangle of Möriken, Othmarsingen and Lenzburg, which is the earliest witness of the village coat of arms. The Alemannic courts mostly had names that ended with -ingen, -iken or -kon. The names Muorinkon, Murinchon, Moerinchon, Mörinkon found in the documents from that time all have a connection with the two name elements. In 1592 a boundary stone with the Mohren coat of arms was set in the Lindwald, at the municipal triangle of Möriken, Othmarsingen and Lenzburg, which is the earliest witness of the village coat of arms. n 1948 the first shards were discovered on the Chestenberg of a late Bronze Age settlement from the years 2200 - 800 BC. Our area was inhabited during the time of the Roman occupation of Helvetia. From Roman times, 58 BC to 401 AD, remains of a Roman manor were found during excavations in the clay pit and in the Römerweg. The current village of Möriken-Wildegg owes its existence mainly to the Alemanni. Today's municipality is first mentioned in writing as "Mörinkon" in 1292, after an Ulricus de Moerinchon appears as a witness in a document as early as 1283. The construction of Wildegg Castle on the most important foothills of the Chestenberg by the Counts of Habsburg in the 12th century is the first important milestone in the history of the double village. The village area came into the possession of the Habsburgs in 1291 through the sale of the former Murbacher Hof Holderbank with the so-called Möriken grit. The municipality of Möriken, which has been independent since the 15th century, had its own school as early as the 16th century. Economically, Möriken was heavily dependent on the Wildegg rulership, as this included most of the forest on the Chestenberg, the extensive vine plantations on the mountainside and the mill at the valley exit below the castle. This formed the beginning of the Wildegg settlement. For eleven generations, the Effinger family lived and managed the Wildegg castle domain with over 100 hectares of land. Since Kaspar Effinger von Brugg bought the Wildegg in 1483, it has remained in the family without interruption. Julie, the last from Effinger, died in 1912 without descendants and bequeathed the Wildegg Castle and Domain to the Swiss Confederation. The complex with castle, forest, farm, park and gardens has largely been preserved and is now a cultural landscape of national importance. The political community Möriken-Wildegg has always consisted of the village parts Möriken and Wildegg. The company Laué & Cie is the actual initiator of the industrial revolution in Wildegg in the 18th century. In addition to the manual processing of cotton, they began to print some of the cotton cloths made in color - the so-called India printing. The general decline in India pressure after 1840 did not spare the Wildegger company either. However, the flexible business owners knew how to quickly switch to other branches of business. The result was a sawmill, a mechanical workshop, a production facility for shiny thread, a drinking water pumping station and a water wheel five meters in diameter for generating electricity. In 1848, Alois Isler introduced the flourishing hat weaving in Freiamt in Wildegg, which was soon operated in its own factory building on the Blakimatt. This even had a branch in New York. In 1904 part of the industrial complex was sold and first a xylolite (parquet) and later a carbonic acid factory operated on it. The shortage of coal in the First World War gave the electrical industry an accelerated development. This resulted in the establishment of Kupferdraht-Isolierwerke Wildegg AG (KIW). Today various companies have settled on the former KIW site. The Migros Cooperative has been operating a durum wheat mill in the Hellmühle, another important building in Wildegg, since 1984. In 1415 it was the only residential building in what is now the Wildegg part of the village, along with the castle. In 1872, in addition to the previous contract milling business, the commercial milling business was also operated in Hellmühle. In 1889, Friedrich Rudolf Zurlinden from Zofingen built a cement works in Wildegg, which offered many advantages as a location for a cement factory: the indispensable raw materials limestone and clay marl were available in the nearby Jura hills, the Aare provided the necessary water, and Wildegg also had a rail connection. Due to the ideal conditions and the increasing construction activity, the Jura-Cement factories developed into an important employer in Wildegg. The economic development in Möriken was completely different. Up until a few decades ago, farms dominated the village scene. The development of the community into a preferred place of residence is particularly noticeable here. In the last few decades, numerous buildings and new single-family houses have been built in excellent residential areas around the rural village center of Möriken.
