history

Parish before the merger on January 1, 1996

In 1159 the settlement was first mentioned as Altinshusin . Altishausen was originally part of the Konstanzer Bischofshöri and belonged to the Eggen Bailiwick from the 13th century to 1798 .

The All Saints Chapel, acquired in 1451, was a branch of St. Stephan zu Konstanz, where Altishausen was presumably a church from the early Middle Ages . The little church, looked after by Alterswilen from 1543/44 onwards, was demolished in 1857, the parish was dissolved in 1859 and Alterswilen was added. The Catholics have been parishes to Berg since the Reformation in 1529 .

In the 19th century the transition from growing grain in three tents to cattle and dairy farming took place. The village dairy was established in 1867 and the Altishausen-Graltshausen cheese cooperative in 1889. 1967–1987 goods were amalgamated. Since 1965 there has been a manufacturing company for ventilation and air conditioning equipment in Altishausen, which employed 20 people in 1991. On the area of the Dürrenmühle, first mentioned in 1557 and abandoned around 1700, a tank farm with 400,000 tons of storage capacity was built on the Weinfelden – Kreuzlingen railway line from 1963 to 1965 .

Altishausen and Graltshausen form a school community . From the beginning of the 1980s, a new single-family house quarter was built west of the village center.
