The Allmen (also Almen ; formerly Allmann , Allman) is a wooded mountain in the Zurich Oberland with a height of 1079 m above sea level. M. It lies about 2.5 kilometers in a straight line north of the Bachtel on the territory of the municipality Hinwil in the Swiss canton of Zurich . On the northwestern flank of the Allmen, in the area of Bäretswil , is the Anabaptist Cave .
The Allmen is eponymous for the Allmannkette (also Bachtelkette ), which runs west of the Töss from the Bachtel over the Auenberg , Allmen, Stüssel ( 1052 m above sea level ), Stoffel ( 929 m above sea level ), Tämbrig ( 820 m above sea level). M. ) to Kyburg , and over the Chomberg ( 644 m above sea level ), Blauen ( 609 m above sea level ), Rhinsberg ( 567 m above sea level ), Altenhau ( Hiltenberg , 545 m above sea level ) to Rheinsfelden and forms the watershed between Töss and Glatt . The chain of hills is said to have formed the border between Zürichgau and Thurgau within the Duchy of Alamannien in the early Middle Ages .
The derivation of the name Alman ( Allmann ) from the name of the Alemanni can be found in Johannes Stumpf (1548); Franz Ludwig Haller von Königsfelden (1812) and Heinrich Meyer (1849) again expressed their approval . Ernst Förstemann (1871) considers a derivation from the personal name Adalmann or Altmann for the name element Alman- , Allmann- in addition to the origin of Alaman- . For the secondary form Wallman in Escher von der Linth, Ludwig von Bollmann (1837) suggests an echo of a word Wallmen for "haystack". The new form Allmen only became established after 1950 (adjustment to the regional form for the term " Allmende ").
“Der Allmann” was the name of a newspaper that was published in Hinwil from 1852 to 1870 (since 1960, Zürcher Oberländer ).
The Töss – Allmann Railway was a railway connection planned in 1871, which would have crossed the Allmann chain near Bussental ( Bäretswil ), but which was never realized.
