Surname
The old name of both the long village and the short village is Erchingen ; the addition Kurz (en) - is first documented in 1316 ( Kurtzenerchingen ; next to it as early as 1312: in villa zem long Erchingen ) and is due to the different shape of the two parts of the settlement: Kurzenerchingen was a so-called cluster village , while Langenerchingen was a long street village .
The replacement of the name Erchingen by the simple word dorf appears for the first time in 1328 (ze der obrun kilchun ze Erchingen ... ze der kilchun ze dem Kurzendorfe ) and was completed in the 18th century (1743 by Heini Funsting from Langen Erchingen now Langdorff called ).
history

Since the 13th century it belonged to the Habsburg-Kyburg office of Frauenfeld and later to 1798 to the city court. The county high court met until 1417 at the arbor.
