Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Freienwil

Located on the eastern slope of the Siggenberg across a valley, Freienwil (465 m above sea level) is a farming village that has been well preserved to this day. Founded as the “Hofsiedlung des Freie” or “Weiler des Frîo” in the eighth century as part of the Alemannic settlement, the village was first mentioned in 1247 in an income register of the newly founded Wettingen monastery. The monastic influence, however, was small; it seems to have been a compact twin rule of noble Habsburg families. The Weiherhaus, a small Weiherburg documented until 200 years ago, of which all remains are missing today, was the lordship of the Freienwil-Twing lord. From 1367 to 1506 these rights came into the possession of Baden's bourgeois families. In 1506 the village of Freienwil was able to buy out. For 615 guilders, an extraordinarily high amount of cash for the time, the apparently wealthy village community took over the ownership of the pond house and the right to independently hold the village court. A large medieval collection of documents in the municipal archive testifies to the endeavor to legally safeguard this privilege, which is unique in Aargau. The self-employment efforts soon spread to the church. Always belonging to the Lengnau parish, the village fought for its own chapel in 1648. After 1600 the population increased beyond the tolerable level, so that poverty spread. As the community was increasingly cut off from traffic routes, economic development stalled. Numerous farmers from Freienwil found themselves forced to work from home and, since 1800, to emigrate. Even the widespread factory farming in Baden's industry could not prevent a population peak of 506 in 1850 from being followed by more than a century of population stagnation. It was not until the merger of goods after 1957 and the associated delayed connection to the road and bus network in 1962 that the foundation stone was laid for a gentle structural development. Today the village is part of the Baden agglomeration, because the majority of those in work find their earnings in industry and commerce in the Baden-Zurich area. After a low of 366 inhabitants in 1960, the population has more than doubled by 2007 to 900 inhabitants. In recent times in particular, the attractiveness of the rural and yet suburban village has shown itself in the lively demand for housing. Population today 1,050.
