history

Parish before the merger in 1995

The settlement was first mentioned in 1252 as Luimprechtswilær . Lipperswil belonged to the barons of Bürglen until it was sold to the canons of St. Johann in Constance in 1284 . The canons owned the lower court until 1798. Hattenhausen and Hefenhausen formed a court that the castle owners von Salenstein and Hard alternately administered until 1798. From 1803 to 1805 Lipperswil belonged to the municipal community of Müllheim , then until 1994 to the municipal community of Wäldi. In 1812 the local parishes of Hattenhausen-Hefenhausen and Lipperswil were combined to form the local parish of Lipperswil.

The church was built in 1209 as a branch of Wigoltingen . Lipperswil joined the Reformation in 1529 . The Lipperswil church went down in history with the Wigoltinger trade in 1664. In addition to Raperswilen , the pastor of Lipperswil looked after Wäldi after 1723 and also Sonterswil from 1895.

In the 19th century, fruit growing, livestock and dairy farming replaced agriculture; Viticulture continued into the 20th century. The mill, which is documented in 1301, burned down in 1895. In the 19th century a weaving mill and a cobbler's shop, then around 1900 an embroidery, a sawmill and a cheese factory offered employment. Today the Conny-Land amusement park run by the Gasser circus family and the golf course, which opened in 1999, characterize the town.
