Schlossrued ( Swiss German : ˈʃlɔsːˌruəd ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Kulm district and is located in the lower Ruedertal .

geography

The community lies in the lower part of the Ruedertal, which is traversed by the Ruederche and bordered on both sides by chains of hills. The valley floor is only 50 meters wide in the upper part and widens to a width of around 250 meters in the lower part. The north-eastern side of the valley is very fragmented and has numerous short side valleys with the foothills of the Galgenmoos ( 654  m above sea level ) and the Samlen ( 643  m above sea level ) in between; these hills form the border with the Wynental . The south-western side of the valley is more evenly shaped and rises to the castle ( 649  m above sea level ) and to the edge of the Rötler plateau, which demarcate the Ruedertal from the Suhrental . One kilometer southeast of the main settlement of Schlossrued is the village of Kirchrued, where the only church in the entire valley is located. In addition, numerous individual farms are scattered across the entire municipality.

The area of ​​the municipality is 725 hectares , of which 225 hectares are forested and 55 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 680 meters on the edge of the Rötler plateau, the lowest at 475 meters on the Ruederche. Neighboring communities are Schöftland in the northwest, Unterkulm in the north, Oberkulm in the east, Schmiedrued in the southeast, Kirchleerau in the south and Staffelbach in the west.

history

The Ruedertal was settled in the 5th and 6th centuries by the Alemanni , who cleared the dense jungle . In 1160 the "Lords of Ruoda" were mentioned for the first time in the Acta Murensia of the Muri Monastery . The place name is derived from the Old High German (ze) Ruoderahu , which means "near the Ruderbach"; a body of water that can be crossed by rowing. The Lords of Rued were a ministerial family of the Counts of Kyburg , from 1273 of the Habsburgs . They probably gave up their ancestral castle Alt-Rued in the 11th or 12th century and moved to the other side of the valley in Castle Rued .

After the family died out in 1369, there were several changes of ownership: First, the Rued lordship, which in addition to the Ruedertal also included the villages of Kirchleerau and Moosleerau , belonged to the lords of Büttkon, then the barons of Rüssegg and the lords of Scharnachtal. From 1491 it was owned by the Herport family from Willisau, and in 1516 it came back to the Lords of Büttikon. The confederates destroyed the castle in 1386 during the Sempach War , and in 1415 they conquered Aargau. Schlossrued now belonged to the subject area of ​​the city of Bern , the so-called Berner Aargau .

In 1520 the Lords of May, originally from Italy , acquired the rule, eight years later the Bernese introduced the Reformation . In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Schlossrued has belonged to the canton of Aargau. It was not until 1834 that the May sold their last remaining rights to the canton, until 1861 they resided in the castle.

In 1816 the Ruedertal was divided into the communities Schlossrued and Schmiedrued . The population found an additional livelihood in cotton weaving until the middle of the 19th century. When this branch of industry went under due to the remoteness of the valley and the lack of hydropower, many residents had to move away. Agriculture shaped the life of the community well into the 20th century .

Attractions

Rued Church
Rued Castle

The schlossrued is located on a promontory north of the village Schlossrued. The medieval castle was completely rebuilt at the end of the 18th century after a major fire and converted into a residential palace. The oldest parts of the church in Kirchrued date from the 13th century, around 1500 a choir was added to the rectangular building . From the outside, the building looks like a large chapel.

The Schlossrued adventure trail offers the opportunity to get to know Schlossrued and the Ruedertaler on three different circular hikes. Information boards provide interesting information about the landscape, history, flora and fauna. There are rest areas and lookout points within the routes.

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In blue on a green three-mountain, white, red-roofed tower with black gate, raised by two crossed white oars and a six-pointed white star." The undivided municipality of Ruedertal had until 1816 carried the coat of arms of the Lords of Rued, first attested in 1279, an oar crossed by a boatman's spike. On the municipal seal from 1872, the various symbols were arranged in a confusing way. In 1953 these were rearranged after the town council refused to delete a symbol or two.
