geography
Eschikofen is located at the foot of the northern slope of the Wellenberg on the main road Frauenfeld - Weinfelden .
history
The place is mentioned for the first time in 878 using the phrase Hassinchovarromarcha . In the 19th century the village was called Heschikofen .
Eschikofen initially belonged to the St. Gallen monastery . In the 12th century the Reichenau Abbey appeared as the landlady; since this was incorporated into the diocese of Constance in 1540 , half of the lower court Eschikofen fell to the bishopric of Constance and half to the rule of Griesenberg . Openings date from 1430 and 1479. From the end of the Helvetic Republic in 1803 until the end of 1998, Eschikofen was a local parish within the Hüttlingen municipality.
Eschikofen was originally located in the Pfyn parish . Eschikofen is mostly Reformed and has belonged to the parish of Hüttlingen since 1531, previously to the parish of Pfyn; for Catholics exists since 1869, the opportunity to show in Müllheim to visit.
In 1837 the ferry across the Thur was replaced by a covered wooden bridge, and in 1954 the concrete bridge was built. Before the Thur correction (1907-1913) the village was often affected by floods. In the course of the 19th century, dairy farming and cattle breeding replaced arable farming. Despite a recently built single-family home quarter, Eschikofen has retained its rural character.
