history

Aerial view (1967)

Individual finds indicate that the area north of the camps was already populated during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Aradingin was first mentioned in a document in 1040. The name comes from the Old High German Arinratingun and means "among the people of the Arinrat". In the 11th century the Einsiedeln monastery acquired large estates. The Elchingen monastery near Ulm exchanged its properties with the Sankt Blasien monastery in 1150 . In the course of time the Wettingen Monastery assumed a dominant position. With the name in Eredingen villa inferiori , the smaller Unterehrendingen was distinguished from the larger Oberehrendingen for the first time in a document in 1261. The rulers were the Habsburgs .

In 1415 the Swiss conquered Aargau and Ehrendingen was henceforth the capital of the district of the same name in the county of Baden , a common rule . The governor of Baden exercised both lower jurisdiction and blood jurisdiction . In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Ehrendingen was initially a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden and in 1803 became part of the newly founded canton of Aargau.

In 1825 things of honor were divided into the independent communities of Ober- and Unterehrendingen. Both villages, which at that time were still spatially separated, were ravaged by large fires; 1821 in Ober- and 1832 in Unterehrendingen, where the schoolhouse was also cremated. From 1892 to 1902 the Lägern cement factory employed up to 400 workers. Until the 1950s the population grew only slightly, in Unterehrendingen it even decreased at times. But then, due to the proximity to Baden and Zurich , increased construction activity began. The population increased rapidly and the buildings grew together. The two villages gradually developed a common identity and decided to reunite in 2003. On January 1, 2006, after an interruption of 181 years, the Ehrendingen community was re-established.
