Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Menziken

A huge glacier covered the entire Wynental around 10,000 years ago. The terminal moraine between Zetzwil and Gontenschwil is a backward witness of this time. Finds suggest that the current municipal area of ​​Menziken was settled early: In the Stone Age (3000 to 1800 BC) and the Bronze Age (1800 to 800 BC) as well as during the Hallstatt Period (800 to 500 BC). Chr.). The Romans left clear traces with the still common field names such as Murweid, Muracker, Rothüslifeld and Kasern - derived from "caserna" - but also the Celts and the Alemanni (6-700 AD). A large Alemannic farmer named "Manzo" is said to have built a farm here. This was named after him, "zem Manzinkhova" - at the court of the people of Manzo. "Manzinchoven" can be proven in writing for the first time in 1045 in a document from Count Ulrich von Lenzburg. By 1330 it became "Mentzikon", and later the village, which was part of the Reinach community until around 1580-1590, was called "Mentzicken". Until 1729 Menziken was a pure farming village. The turning point brought the first cotton manufacture, which was quickly followed by weaving, spinning and dyeing mills. Around 1801 the still existing "Sagi" was built in the middle of the village. In 1838 Samuel Weber laid the foundation stone for the "Oberwynentaler tobacco metropolis". The spinning and weaving mills were replaced with the cigar industry. New jobs were found in the manufacture of "Herkules" trucks by C. Weber-Landolt at the end of the century before last, as well as in Aluminim AG, which was founded in 1905. The rapidly growing industry made Menziken a banking center as early as 1852 with the “Bank in Menziken”. The “Wynentaler Blatt” has also been published here since 1857. In 1904, the stagecoach that had operated between Menziken and Aarau was replaced by the electric narrow-gauge railway WSB (today AAR bus + bahn).
