Municipalities of the Canton of Thurgau
The canton of Thurgau comprises 80 political communities (as of February 2009). District capitals are highlighted in bold.
In the canton of Thurgau, a new division of the municipalities into just five districts came into force on January 1, 2011.
When a collection of all municipal coats of arms was to be created as part of the renovation of the cantonal government building in Frauenfeld in 2012, it was found that some municipalities had never introduced a new official municipal coat of arms after mergers in the 20th century. The canton then asked these communities to agree on such a coat of arms in the same year.
The Tägermoos district belonging to Konstanz ( Germany ) is located on Swiss territory. Since Konstanz is contractually endowed with the Thurgau municipal rights over the district, the city is unofficially the 81st municipality in Thurgau.
Former community organization
From the founding of the canton in 1803 until the major community revision in the mid-1990s, the canton of Thurgau had different types of communities, some of which overlapped and represented an actual community dualism:
- the Munizipalgemeinden (MG) were essentially the old parishes which had received this name in the Helvetic Republic ;
- the local communities (OG) represented the old village communities.
If the municipality and the local municipality were congruent, we were talking about so-called unitary municipalities (EG).
