Stetten ( Swiss German : ˈʃtɛtːə ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Baden district and is located in the Reuss Valley , roughly halfway between Baden and Bremgarten .

geography

The village center of Stetten is about half a kilometer northeast of the Reuss in the middle of a gently sloping plain. The Reuss has created a distinctive furrow in the gravel plain through erosion , in the Klosterfeld the Dorfbach flows into the river. There is a gravel pit on the eastern edge of the settlement ; it was created by completely removing the Honert moraine hill, on which the municipality's first water reservoir was once located. The industrial and commercial zone in the northeast has grown together with Busslingen .

The area of ​​the municipality is 441 hectares , of which 120 hectares are covered with forest and 90 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 420 meters on the southeastern municipal boundary, the lowest at 348 meters on the Reuss. Neighboring communities are Niederrohrdorf in the north, Remetschwil in the east, Künten in the southeast, Niederwil in the south, Tägerig in the west and Mellingen in the northwest.

history

Various finds from the Neolithic , Latène and Roman times indicate an early settlement. It was first mentioned in a document in 998. The place name comes from the Old High German (ze) konstantin and means "near the dwellings". At that time the village was owned by the Einsiedeln monastery . The monasteries Engelberg , Hermetschwil , Königsfelden and Oetenbach were added as further landowners . In the Middle Ages the village was under the rule of the Kyburger , from 1273 under that of the Habsburgs .

In 1415 the Swiss conquered Aargau and Stetten was now part of the Rohrdorf office in the county of Baden , a common rule . In the same year the city of Mellingen acquired the lower jurisdiction , but as early as 1494 the villagers were able to buy themselves out of this rule. In 1529 the Rohrdorf parish, to which Stetten belonged until 1888, joined the Reformation . After the Second Kappel War in 1531, the residents of Stetten had to accept the Catholic denomination again.

In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Stetten was initially a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden , since 1803 it has belonged to the canton of Aargau. Until well into the 20th century, Stetten was a village characterized by agriculture , supplemented by local small-scale industry and home work for the straw industry in Wohlen . That all changed in the 1960s when the village became more accessible and turned into a residential community after the nearby motorway opened. The population has almost tripled since 1970, and the 1980s in particular were marked by a construction boom.

In 2009, the renaturation of the village stream was initiated over a distance of 200 meters.

Attractions

Catholic Church

Stetten has a largely intact village center with buildings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries that are well worth seeing. The history of the parish church of St. Vinzenz goes back to the 12th century. After the church tower was renewed in 1881, the rest of the building was also demolished in 1883/84 and a new building was built in the form of a hall church with a retracted choir closing on three sides .

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "A white double cross with a three-pointed foot, pawed in red, accompanied by two five-pointed white stars in the head of the shield." The coat of arms introduced in 1939 shows the Hungarian double cross. It is a reference to Queen Agnes of Hungary , who donated the Stetten farm to the Königsfelden monastery in 1352.
