The Genossame Wangen is a Swiss corporation with over 600 years of tradition.
history
The use of the less productive, less favorably situated pasture areas outside the original settlement area, such as the endangered reed and bank areas and along the forests and Alps, must have been relatively weak and free in the Middle Ages. When, in the 14th and 15th centuries, agriculture was increasingly switched to export-oriented cattle and dairy farming , this change required more forage areas. The resulting disputes led to provisions to no longer allow the use of the so-called common areas in such a "general" manner.
The dominance and ownership at that time indicate that the all-inclusive arose in the course of the late Middle Ages in a court area previously dominated by clerical and secular lords, i.e. from this feudal system - and ultimately undermining it. The first written evidence can be seen in the court law of Wangen , which was drawn up around 1400 and is kept in the local parish archive. Here you can already find the terms “ Allmeind ” and “Comrades”, which suggests a firmly organized body.
Since the Wangner Comrades became more precisely comprehensible in the 16th century , they have by and large over the common and forest areas that still exist today on the periphery of the municipality of Wangen. Until the 19th century , the Genossame completed what is now the Allmeind area between the cantonal road and the lake by purchasing "spell wood" and reed areas from private hands, which were probably once alienated from the Allmeind . The first verifiable sales of land to comrades for a house or "Heimet" were documented in 1518.
In 1670 a new comrades book was created. It contains the statutes of the comrades and the oldest list of those entitled to cooperate (comrades). This important list contained how and to whom the right to use the cooperative was passed on. The comrades book was used for the last time in 1797 and was replaced by protocols and individual contracts. Equally important, however, were the statutes, which were ratified by the Schwyz authorities as early as 1731.
In order to benefit from the rights of use of the comrades, you had to have your own stove and fire within the “comrades group”, i.e. your own household in the parish of Wangen or Nuolen, which is also part of the Wangner comrades group. Another prerequisite was the performance of hard labor in the field, forest and the Aa-Wuhrung ( flood protection ). Time and again, the Comrades survived historical upheavals. So z. B. the invasion of the French (1798) as well as the mediation and restoration period (1803-1815).
In 1894 an important step towards a democratically controlled cooperative organization was made with new statutes . The most important innovations are the establishment of a three-member comrades council plus comrades clerk and an audit commission as well as the introduction of a term limit. With a few minor adjustments, this shape has proven itself to this day and we can proudly look back on 600 years of tradition.
The families
Bruhin
Coat of arms: In blue a black bear paw with two stars and a golden three-mountain as a shield base. Of five known Bruhin coats of arms, four have a bear paw as a shield figure, while a fifth contains a hoe as a talking coat of arms, which indicates "breaking up", ie reclamation. The heraldic commission of the canton Schwyz decided on the depicted coat of arms because on the one hand it shows the bear's paw like the oldest known Bruhin coat of arms and on the other hand it is very common as a family coat of arms. It comes from a seal by Johann Bruhi, Ammann in der March (Styger 193).
Name: The origin of the name Bruchin is derived from «bruchmachen». It was about the first order of the soil, which was then suitable for cultivation. According to legend, an immigrant chased by a bear is said to have defended himself so bravely that the locals thought he could be "broken".
