geography

Landikon is 491  m above sea level. M. in the narrow Reppischtal between the slopes of the Albis in the north and the Ättenberg in the south. The village extends over the entire width of the valley, which is around 300 meters here, and takes up around 300 meters of the valley length. About 2 km west of the valley is Birmensdorf and a little southeast of the hamlet of Sellenbüren , which belongs to the municipality of Stallikon . To the north lies above the valley behind a moraine and the forest area Maas the Birmensdorfer Quartier Haslen ( 561  m above sea level. M. ), the Northeast is also am Albis to be Uitikon belonging hamlet Ringlikon ( 632  m above sea level. M. ), and the South East The municipality Wettswil am Albis extends behind the Ättenberg .

The Reppisch crosses Landikon from east to west, taking in the Schwandenbach , which flows into the middle of the village. This rises near Ringlikon and forms above Landikon a deeply carved ravines . The boundary to the municipality of Stallikon and thus to the Knonaueramt is formed by the Bättelweidbach . The border to Wettswil runs largely along the northern slope of the Heidenchilen , before it turns to the southwest and runs across the Ättenberg.

traffic

In the middle of the village is the intersection of Stallikonerstrasse with Landikonerstrasse or Wettswilerstrasse . This leads to Birmensdorf and Stallikon and opens up the Reppischtal. The Landikonerstrasse , which runs to the northwest, leads to Uitikon-Waldegg, while the Wettswilerstrasse , which runs to the southeast, conquers the pass over the Ättenberg , known by locals as the «Whiskeypass» , and thus connects Landikon with Wettswil.

Directly to the east of the village, the Zurich – Zug railway from Wettswil enters the Reppisch valley through the 481 meter long Landikon tunnel . The embankment that leads to the tunnel closes the Reppisch valley to Sellenbüren and at the same time forms a flood retention basin . Landikon does not have its own train station, but the village is served by the ZVV line 227 , which connects Landikon with the nearby Birmensdorf train station, among other things.

history

The name Landikon goes back to the old family name Landheri (Lantheri) or Lanthari (Landarius, Lantarius) and means something like in the courts of the people of Lanthari . It developed from Landheringhofen and Landrikon to Landikon, with the suffix -inghofen being changed to -ikon by shifting sounds .

Landikon was first mentioned in 1150 as Lanterinkon . This was followed by the mentions Lanterinchon and Lantrinchon in 1227, Lantrikon 1328 and 1359, Lantrinkon 1359, 1371, 1378 and 1415, Landtikon 1504, Lantricken 1556, Landtricken 1556 and 1559 as well as on the Gygkarte , Landtigken and Landtrigken 1559 and Landrickegte 1560 Names are Lantheringhovun , Lantichon , Landtrickon , Landtrinkhon and Lantkon . The name Landikon was first mentioned in 1556.

Landikerwiese

On June 22nd, 1722, the Reppisch swelled up to 16 feet, causing great damage, especially in Landikon. In 1799 the reformed village had 8 houses and 26 households. In the same year, 43 children attended school lessons, which took place in a classroom in the house of the teacher Johannes Rosenberger . In 1822 a school house was built, which cost 780 guilders , of which the state took over 100 guilders. In 1833 the school was closed again with the retirement of the schoolmaster Heinrich Rosenberg. The reason was the small number of children, and so the Landiker went to school again in Birmensdorf. In 1864 Landikon had 110 residents in 11 houses. In 1862 a cotton spinning and twisting mill was opened in Landikon.

A country road has been in use since the 16th century that connected Landikon to Aumüli from Birmensdorf. Today this is entered in the inventory of historical traffic routes in Switzerland as ZH 125 with regional significance. Between 1826 and 1827, the Zurich – Knonaueramt road was built near Landikon, which leads from Albisrieden to Knonau . The old lines have been partially taken over. For the construction of today's Landikerstrasse section , Landikon was to provide 28 workers for the last 1740 feet (about 530 meters). Initially, they had to work one day a week and then two days. However, since the work was hesitant and it was thought that the section could never be completed, the state had no choice but to hire the workers. The maintenance of the road was the responsibility of the neighboring communities, only Landikon was supported by a servant paid by the state .

Until 1538 Landikon belonged to the Vogtei Wettschweil (Wettswil), which was then united with the Obervogtei Bonstetten in the Zurich city-state , to which Landikon belonged until 1798. Between 1798 and 1803 it belonged to the Mettmenstetten district of the Helvetic Republic and from 1803 to the canton of Zurich . Here Landikon was part of the district or district of Horgen until 1813, after which the village belonged to the Zurich Oberamt , which was converted into the Zurich district in 1831. Landikon together with Aesch , Birmensdorf and Uitikon formed the 6th district of the Canton of Zurich. Since 1989 the village has belonged to the Dietikon district.

Roman traces were also found in amber figures in Landikon .
