geography

history

The place was first mentioned in 1265 as Lainbach . The cathedral chapter of Constance owned large estates as early as the 14th century. The Kehlhof of the cathedral chapter comprised considerable parts of arable and meadow land. The Leimbach farmers who owned shares in it and built them as inheritance, were called court disciples and were subject to the jurisdiction of the cathedral custodian. However, Leimbach belonged to the Uerenbohl court, which belonged to the Bürglen lordship and was in the hands of the city ​​of St. Gallen from 1579 to 1798 . This constellation resulted in long disputes between the Domkustorei Konstanz and the city of St. Gallen. Leimbach has always belonged to the parish of Sulgen.

Agriculture was focused on grain, fruit and livestock farming until the 19th century. The first village cheese dairy in Thurgau was established in Leimbach in 1848. In 1850 Joachim Etter (1824–1897) built a pasta factory, which in 1897 was relocated to Amriswil and Weinfelden . In 1900 there was a chemical factory and an embroidery factory. Around 1920 Leimbach was considered to be industrially developed. Despite the decline in agriculture to eight farms by 1920, Leimbach remained a rural village with little business, the appearance of which is characterized by agro-industrial silo buildings.
