Parish before the merger on January 1st, 2009

Clugin (Romansh Clugen ) was until December 31, 2008 a political municipality in the canton of Graubünden , Switzerland. It belonged to the former Schams district in the Hinterrhein district and was oriented towards Andeer .

The village forms a clustered village and lies at the foot of the Schamserberg . Clugin was one of the smallest independent communities in Switzerland and even in the 19th century never had more than 80 inhabitants. On January 1, 2009, Clugin merged with Pignia and Andeer to form the municipality of Andeer.

history

As early as 1204, a community of free farmers with its own lower court was documented on the Schamserberg . The first mention of Clugin (in the Rhaeto-Romanic form Clugen ) dates back to 1243 . For the 13th century, the development of the country with grain cultivation and livestock farming is documented.

Landlords in Schams were first the diocese of Chur , then the barons of Vaz , later the Werdenbergs and from 1456 again the Chur people. In 1458 they bought themselves free.

In religious terms, Clugin was part of the mother church of St. Martin in Zillis . In 1530 the village was reformed and formed a parish with the communities of the lower Schamserberg (until 1894). Together with Donat , Pazen , Farden and Casti , Clugin had its own civil court.
