history

Parish before the 1979 merger

The oldest written mention of Fruthwilens comes from the year 1271 as "Vruotwilar". The name means courtyard of Fruoto, from ahd. Fruot , smart.

In the Middle Ages the Reichenau Monastery in Fruthwilen was the landlord and court lord . After the abbey was incorporated into the Konstanz monastery in 1540, the lower court of Fruthwilen with Fruthwilen, Helsighausen, Höhnwilen, Raperswilen and several houses from Fischbach was under the bishop until 1798 and was administered by the Obervogtei Reichenau. Before 1798, Hub was part of the Konstanz Monastery of St. Johann , Eggishof was part of the Konstanz Hospital .

Ecclesiastically, Fruthwilen always belonged to Ermatingen. In the joint community was in the 18th century next to the Protestant mayor, a Catholic secondary mayor and vice versa.

In the 19th century, viticulture and fruit growing as well as small businesses gained in importance in the village economy. With the transition to dairy farming - the dairy was established in 1881 - fruit growing was intensified; the viticulture, however, disappeared almost completely. After the middle of the 20th century, various businesses began to settle in Fruthwilen. More recently, the attractive location above the Untersee has led to the development of new single-family house quarters, which have permanently changed the appearance of the town since 1970.
