history

Memory Herten

Parish before the merger in 1919

From the Middle Ages to 1798, the Lower Court Herten with Herten, Ergeten, Griesen, Hub and Oberherten belonged to the Tobel Commandery . Herten was always at the church in Frauenfeld.

At the end of the 19th century, cattle and dairy farming replaced arable farming. In 1880 there was a cheese dairy in Herten. Viticulture was replaced by fruit growing in the early 20th century. Although Herten retained its rural character well into the 20th century, some of the residents were already working in Frauenfeld's industries around 1900.
