Former community organization of the Canton of Thurgau
Until the end of the 20th century, the cantonal public law of the canton of Thurgau recognized two parallel types of commune created by the Helvetic Republic around 1800 for the whole of Switzerland, which established an actual communal dualism. In Thurgau, the two types of community had the following responsibilities:
- the municipal communities (MG); territorially, they essentially corresponded to the parishes and performed primarily tasks assigned by the state (civil status, taxation, etc.),
- the local parishes (OG) were responsible for wells, roads and the fire brigade, among other things, and from 1944 had citizenship .
history
According to Helvetic law, the municipal communities were responsible for constitutional tasks (such as police, civil status, notarization and guardianship), the local communities for material tasks (such as fields, roads, water and extinguishing). Later the tasks became increasingly intertwined.
Where municipal and local parishes were congruent, unified parishes (EG; e.g. Kreuzlingen ) had to be formed from 1874 onwards .
In 1970, a Scheuber motion was declared significant in the Cantonal Council , calling for the municipal structures to be simplified. However, it took almost three decades until between 1995 and 2000, from 73 municipal and 144 local congregations, the 80 political congregations were formed, which still exist today.
