history
After the Kyburgs died out , the Habsburgs secured sovereignty in eastern Aargau in 1273. They had already taken over the patronage right of the parish Rohrdorf from the Alsatian monastery Murbach in 1259 . The area of the parish originally belonged to the Baden office and was run as an independent office from the first half of the 14th century. In 1413 Duke Friedrich IV sold the Rohrdorf church set with goods, rights and tithes for 2200 guilders to the Baden Agnesspital . Two years later the Confederates conquered Aargau and replaced the Habsburgs as rulers. The office Rohrdorf was now part of the County of Baden , a common rule .
The land register of the county of Baden, recorded in the 1480s, names the settlements in the Rohrdorf district with the respective owners of the lower jurisdiction . The resident in Baden bailiff practiced throughout the territory, the court rights from; He was also the lower court lord in the villages of Busslingen , Künten and Oberrohrdorf , in the hamlets of Holzrüti and Vogelrüti, on the Inenhard and Hasenberg farms and in Widen . The Oetenbach monastery in Zurich was responsible for Sulz and Remetschwil , the Wettingen monastery for Staretschwil , and the Gnadenthal monastery for Niederrohrdorf . The rights for Bellikon and the neighboring hamlet of Husen were owned by the Krieg family from Bremgarten. The city of Mellingen judged in the Trostburger Twing (right-wing part of today's municipality) and in Stetten . In the following decades there were two significant changes in the situation: in 1494 Stetten bought itself free from the city of Mellingen, in 1525 the city of Zurich became the legal successor of the dissolved Oetenbach monastery.
After the French invasion and the proclamation of the Helvetic Republic in 1798, the Rohrdorf office was dissolved. The individual municipalities temporarily belonged to the canton of Baden , since 1803 they have mainly been in the Baden district of the canton of Aargau (a small part in the Bremgarten district ).
