history

Güttingen Castle

The Stone Age bank settlements of Rotfarb / Moosburg from the 4th millennium BC are proven by finds. The early medieval settlement is evidenced by an Alemannic burial ground. The village was mentioned in 799 as Cutaningin and in 1155 as Guthingen . In 883, Emperor Karl the Fat transferred Güttingen to the St. Gallen monastery . In addition to the St. Gallen monastery, the Bishop of Constance in Güttingen was also wealthy. From 1159 to 1357 the barons of Güttingen acted as landlords and owners of the Frei vogtei Güttingen. In 1359 the bailiwick came to the Lords of Breitenlandenberg . In 1452 Heinrich Ehinger , Mayor of Konstanz, sold the Moosburg and Kachel castle to the Bishop in Konstanz for 700 guilders . Until 1798, the episcopal superior bailiff administered the lower court of Güttingen from the castle as the episcopal constance governor of Güttingen. In the Treaty of Meersburg of February 1804, Güttingen came into the possession of the young canton of Thurgau. In 1870 the administrations of the spatially identical local and municipal community of Güttingen were merged to form the unified community of Güttingen.

Güttingen in 1924

By 1275 at the latest there was a church in Güttingen; The church composition and collage were presumably with the Barons von Güttingen. During the Reformation , the community mostly adopted the new faith, but from 1554 to 1848 the Kreuzlingen monastery was in possession of the Kollatur. To this day the Church is in simultaneous use .

The branches of agriculture, shipping and fishing were replaced by cattle and dairy farming in the 19th century. In 1861 a dairy cooperative was established. At the beginning of the 20th century, field fruit growing, which was already documented for the 18th century, took the place of viticulture. The agricultural cooperative was founded in 1920. Neither the lake road built around 1840 nor the lake line opened in 1870 brought the village a direct economic boom. In 1835 a Turkish red dyeing factory was established in Güttingen, which was closed in 1939. From 1948 to 1974, chemical products were produced in Citosan. Around 1900 there was an embroidery and a ship embroidery. In addition to the intensive agriculture and a fruit trading company, medium-sized commercial and industrial companies such as the Kolb machine factory and the Naegeli metal goods factory offered some jobs in the first and second economic sectors in the late 20th century . In 1967 the Federal Test Farm for Fruit Growing Güttingen was opened.
