history

Leutmerken is mentioned in 814 (?) As Liutmarinhchova . The name Leutmerken comes from Liutmar, who was the first to settle in the area. In the middle of the 12th century the barons of Bussnang and later the barons of Griesenberg are documented as owners of Leutmerkens. The church set was owned by Reichenau Abbey , which gave the collature to the judge and the slope to the pastor. In 1275 there was a deanery in Leutmerken. In 1791 and from 1816 to 1994 Leutmerken was part of the local community Griesenberg and thus the municipality of Amlikon.

The Reformation was successful early on. In 1548 the Constance reformer Ambrosius Blarer fled to Leutmerken, where he worked as a Protestant pastor in 1548 and 1563. In 1607 judge Marx of Ulm converted to Catholicism; When ten houses were vacant because of the plague of 1611, he bought them and lent them to Catholics. Soon he reached the resumption of mass. In mediation , the portfolio was transferred from the city ​​of Lucerne to the canton of Thurgau . The parish of Leutmerken and the parish of Leutmerken decided in 1967 to maintain parity .
