Parish before the merger in 1870

Fahrhof is a hamlet in the municipality of Neunforn in the Frauenfeld district of the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland . Fahrhof is located between Ossingen and Niederneunforn not far from the canton border and the Thur .

The hamlet Fahrhof formed an independent local community in the municipal municipality of Neunforn from 1843 to 1869 , while before and after it belonged to the former local municipality of Oberneunforn , which was merged into the political municipality of Neunforn in 1996 .

history

In 1254 the Töss monastery acquired real estate and rights in Fahrhof; the settlement was first mentioned as Vare . From the late Middle Ages until 1798 the settlement was part of the Oberneunforn Lower Court.

The Fahrhof, which has been reformed by the majority since the Reformation in 1525, has always belonged to the parish of Neunforn. Until 1776/79 Fahrhof ran a joint school with the neighboring Zurich hamlet Burghof (municipality of Ossingen ).

In the 19th century the transition to dairy and livestock farming as well as fruit growing took place. Viticulture, which was abandoned in the 19th century, has regained importance in the settlement, which is still dominated by farmers today.
