history

The name "Honerlage" was first mentioned in 1223 in a document in the archive in Gosslar (today Goslar ), but it is unclear whether there is a connection to the Honnerlag family described here. In the county of Lippe, the related names Honerla, Honderlage, Honnerlage, Honderlag and Hunerla came up. The Honnerlag family came to Switzerland through their progenitor of the Barthold Honnerlag family (1645–1713) . Honnerlag's parents were Franz Honerlage and Ilsabein Schwabedissen. Born into a peasant family Barthold Honnerlag moved from his home, the peasantry Hovedissen , according to St. Gallen to his profession as there Bader exercise and surgeon. There he met his wife Dorothea Egger (1646–1711), with whom he settled in Trogen in 1671. At the same time he began to work there as a doctor. Honnerlag acquired the land rights from Trogen in 1679.

Within five generations, the Honnerlag family produced five surgeons, two doctors (Dr. med.), Several merchants and a number of community and state officials.

They were related to the Zellweger family, who lived in the village of Trogen , and had close business relationships with them. The strongest generation was the fourth, including the merchants Sebastian (1735–1801), Johann Conrad (1738–1818) and Johann Georg Honnerlag (1743–1820) and with Bartholome Honnerlag (1740–1815) as a doctor. You worked in the Zellweger companies in Lyon, Barcelona and Genoa as co-founders, managing directors and partners.

Parallel to the construction of the Zellweger stone palaces in Trogen, the family built several houses and thus shaped the village. In 1761 a stone house called "Sonnenhof" was built for Bartholome Honnerlag (1740–1815), the work of the master builder Johannes Grubenmann from Teufen . The latter also built a double palace in 1763 for Bartholome's brothers Sebastian (1735–1801) and Johann Conrad Honnerlag (1738–1818).

Sebastian Honnerlag (1735–1801) was the building owner of the Trogen community during the construction of the Trogen church . Johann Conrad Honnerlag (1777–1838), son of Johann Conrad (1738–1818), a family member of the fifth generation, was important to Trogen. The art and literature lover was one of the initiators of the Trogen Library and the Cantonal School , along with Johann Caspar Zellweger and Dean Johann Jakob Frei . The last male member of the Honnerlag family died in 1839.
