history
Various individual finds prove a settlement during the Hallstatt and Roman times ; on the Lindhügel graves were the Alamannen discovered. Aske inferior was first mentioned in 893 in an interest sled from the Fraumünster in Zurich . The place name goes back to the Old High German (ze) askahe , which means "near the ash tree". In the Middle Ages the village was under the rule of the Counts of Lenzburg , from 1173 on that of the Counts of Kyburg . After these died out, the Habsburgs took over sovereignty and blood jurisdiction in 1273 . The lords of Trostburg were the owners of the lower jurisdiction .
In 1415 the confederates conquered Aargau. Dürrenäsch now belonged to the subject area of the city of Bern , the so-called Berner Aargau . In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation . The lordship of Trostburg came into the possession of the Lords of Reinach in 1346 , and in 1486 to the Hallwyler . In 1616 they sold their property to the city of Brugg . However, Bern did not tolerate the increase in power of its subject city and took over the rights of rule. Dürrenäsch then formed part of the Trostburg judicial district within the Lenzburg office . A fire in 1782 destroyed a large part of the village. In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Dürrenäsch has belonged to the canton of Aargau.
In the 18th century, the cotton weaving, which later developed by the straw-plaiting in homework was replaced. In the middle of the 19th century, the community naturalized Yenish families based on the law to combat homelessness . In the second half of the 19th century the population decreased by over thirty percent. Many residents were impoverished and had to move away from their homeland, not a few of whom emigrated overseas. Cigars were made from 1863 and cork products from 1878 . These industries disappeared in the 1950s, giving way to new businesses.
On September 4, 1963 fell Caravelle III of Swissair en route from Zurich to Geneva from at Dürrenäsch. All 80 people on board Swissair flight 306 died, more than half of the victims came from the village of Humlikon in the canton of Zurich. A memorial at the crash site commemorates this accident.
coat of arms
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In yellow on a green mountain of three soaring red lion, holding a black branch." The coat of arms, which was first shown on the municipal seal in 1811, can be traced back to an incorrect interpretation of the name. The lion symbolizes the former rule of the Habsburgs over the village. The current variant of the coat of arms was definitely introduced in 1952, previously a coat of arms with yellow lions on a blue background had been used at times.
