Fislisbach ( Swiss German : ˈfɪʓliʃˌpɑχ ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Baden district and is located around four kilometers south of the district capital.

geography

The village is on the edge of the Reuss Valley , about three kilometers east of the river. The village center is embedded in a hollow between the two wooded hills Hiltiberg ( 470  m above sea level ) and Buechberg ( 468  m above sea level ). The hills form a moraine running from north to south , which was formed at the end of the last Ice Age when the Reuss Glacier retreated and delimits a narrow side valley. To the east of this valley, which extends from Dättwil to Niederrohrdorf , the terrain rises to Oberhau ( 619  m above sea level ), part of the Heitersberg chain. The modern development of the last decades is in the flat plain west of the moraine.

The area of ​​the municipality is 505 hectares , of which 153 hectares are forested and 138 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 619 meters in the Oberhau area, part of the Heitersberg chain, the lowest at 408 meters in the plain southwest of the village. Neighboring communities are Baden in the north, Neuenhof and Oberrohrdorf in the east, Niederrohrdorf and Mellingen in the south and Birmenstorf in the northwest. In addition, Fislisbach borders in the west on the Rütihof exclave of the municipality of Baden.

history

During excavations in 1938 and 1949 on Hiltisberg graves were Alemanni to light. In 1184 Vicelisbach was mentioned for the first time when Pope Lucius III. confirmed the possessions of Engelberg Monastery . The place name comes from the Old High German Fizilinesbah and means "Bach des Fizilin". In 1228 and 1264 the Wettingen monastery also acquired real estate. From 1276 the two monasteries shared the lower jurisdiction , the sovereignty and the blood jurisdiction lay with the Habsburgs . In the 15th century, the feudal rights were transferred to the Agness Hospital in Baden .

In 1415 the confederates conquered Aargau. Fislisbach was now part of the office of Birmenstorf in the county of Baden , a common rule . In 1522, pastor Urban Wyss, who was friends with Huldrych Zwingli , spread the Reformation . This caused a tumult, which led to his extradition to the Bishop of Constance by the daily statute . The event is considered to be one of the triggers for the Zurich disputations of 1523. After the Second Kappel War in 1531, the village was re-Catholicized.

In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Fislisbach was then a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden , since 1803 it has belonged to the canton of Aargau . On March 30, 1848, a major fire destroyed 31 houses. By the end of 1849, the village center was completely rebuilt and given loose buildings. Since the community had only little participation in the national railway, in 1877 it did not receive a station on the Zofingen – Wettingen railway line . The proximity of the industrial city of Baden led to a high proportion of people in employment in the industrial sector after 1900 and to greater growth spurts in the 1920s and 1960s.

Attractions

Because of the fire in the village in 1848, hardly any older buildings have been preserved. One of the few exceptions is the Hotel Linde (former tithe barn) which dates back to the 18th century. The local museum shows a permanent exhibition about village life and the fire brigade.

Parish Church of St. Agatha

The first written mention of the parish church of St. Agatha comes from the year 1184. The church building, which had existed for centuries, was demolished in 1828. Then a classicist new building was built according to the plans of the architect Fidel Obrist, which was completed in November 1829. The church is the only completely preserved structure from the time before the village fire. On June 13, 1968, the Federal Council placed them under monument protection . An interior renovation followed in 1969 and an exterior renovation in 1989.

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "White double cross with a three-pointed foot, pawed in blue." The coat of arms introduced in 1925 corresponds to the seal image of Queen Agnes of Hungary , the founder of the hospital in Baden . This has been the patronage of the Fislisbach parish church for centuries.

He is elected by the people in the majority procedure, his term of office is four years. The parish council leads and represents the parish. To this end, it implements the resolutions of the municipal assembly and the tasks assigned to it by the canton. The Baden District Court is responsible for litigation in the first instance . Fislisbach belongs to the judges of peace V (Mellingen).
