Aettenschwil
Aettenschwil is a district of the municipality of Sins (formerly Meienberg ) in the extreme southeast of the canton of Aargau in Switzerland .
The village of Aettenschwil is made up of the village of Aettenschwil and the farms Genikon (Huobhof), Vorderbrand, Wund and Ecknau (winter heaps). Aettenschwil has been part of the Meienberg (Sins) community since 1800. Aettenschwil was first mentioned in 1179 as Agetiswilare . The first part of the name can be traced back to the personal name "Agateus", while the second part means estate or farm.

history
Between 1160 and 1179 the Muri monastery acquired the Bühlhof and the Verena chapel. This property was later completed by a small income in Ecknau. An estate which threw 9 mütt (1 mütt = approx. 37 kg of seeds) grain and oats was still 1425 man fiefs from the lords of Heidegg to local residents. The Genahove farm was a fief of the Reussegg lordship. A not insignificant bailiwick in the village of Aettenschwil and in the Genikon farm belonged to the Reussegg lordship. Aettenschwil paid 1 piece (= a medieval unit of value = 4 quarters of kernels - 1 quarter = 22 liters -) of grain and 67 pounds (monetary unit - 1 pound = 20 shillings) and Genikon 2 3/4 pieces of grain and 43 pounds of bailiwick taxes.
Around 1306 ( Habsburger Urbar ) the Habsburgs were the owners of the entire judicial power ( Zwing and Bann ) in Aettenschwil. In the course of the later 14th century, the lower jurisdiction , presumably based on the Vogteirechte, came to the Reussegg rule. In disregard of the resistance of the residents of the Meienberg office , Lucerne confirmed this condition after 1415. After the Meienberg office was transferred to the six locations in 1425, this Lucerne concession was reversed. During the federal period, Aettenschwil clearly formed part of the lordly lower court district of the Meienberg office.
Aettenschwil has always been part of the parish of Sins. The tithe at Aettenschwil seems to have been separated from the church law relatively late, probably at the end of the 14th century, as a lay tithe . The right was sold in 1430 by Thomas, Hans and Dorothea Falkenstein to Walter von Moos from Lucerne and then passed into the ownership first of Lucerne (Schnyder, Iberg and Hasfurter) and later to the Uri compatriots of Werner Imhof and Püntner.
The village community of Aettenschwil as a corporation is only mentioned in 1690.
