Attelwil (in local dialect : [ ˌɑtˑəˈʋiːu̯ ]) is a village in the municipality of Reitnau in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It is located in the middle of the Suhrental . Until December 31, 2018, Attelwil was a separate municipality in the Zofingen district . On January 1, 2019 Attelwil merged with Reitnau.

geography

The village lies on the western edge of the completely flat valley floor on a lateral moraine . This was created during the Würme Ice Age when the Reuss Glacier retreated . The Suhre formed the eastern boundary of the municipality and was straightened in the mid-1920s when the extensive swamp in the plain was drained. The 643 meter high Hornig rises to the west. This goes over into the 679 meter high Tannholzberg, the natural border to the Uerkental .

The area of ​​the municipality was 222 hectares, of which 75 hectares were forested and 30 hectares were built over. Neighboring communities were Staffelbach in the north, Moosleerau in the east, Reitnau in the south and Wiliberg in the west.

history

Although the village was founded by the Alamanni in the 8th or 9th century , the place name is handed down relatively late: first in the Habsburg Urbar (1303–1308 ze Attelwile git je der man ), then in 1324 in a document from the Beromünster Abbey Archives ( In Attenwile. Item in Attenwile de bono ). The place name probably goes back to an Old High German composition Attil (in) -wilari 'Hofsiedlung des Attilo'. The Habsburgs had both lower jurisdiction and blood jurisdiction and had assigned the village to the Willisau office . Most of the tithe went to the parish church in Reitnau . Around 1350, the Muhenamt , a separate judicial district to which Attelwil also belonged, was established.

In 1415 the confederates conquered Aargau. Attelwil now belonged to the subject area of ​​the city of Bern , the so-called Berner Aargau . The village was part of the Reitnau judicial district in the Lenzburg district . In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation . In March 1798 the French marched into Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then Attelwil has belonged to the canton of Aargau. Agriculture shaped the life of the village well into the 20th century . Between 1850 and 1950 the population fell by over twenty percent, but has increased slightly since the early 1980s.

Attelwil had its own school until 2007. In a referendum on November 26, 2017, the merger with the municipality of Reitnau was resolved, whereby the result was extremely tight with 89 to 85 votes.

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipality and today's district coat of arms reads: "In yellow, black eagle with red fangs." The coat of arms was first seen on the community seal in 1811. At that time it was believed that Attelwil had developed from an “Adelhof”. The Middle High German adel-ar developed into Adler .

The population developed as follows:

Residents 179 282 263 236 219 232 244 238 282 303 299
