Linn is a village in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It was an independent municipality in the Brugg district until the end of 2012 and was incorporated into the new municipality of Bözberg on January 1, 2013 .

geography

Linn is located a little more than five kilometers west of the district capital, on the southern edge of a gently undulating, narrowing plateau at the transition between the Tabular Jura and the Folded Jura . The Bözberg Pass is around one and a half kilometers to the north . In the west the plain slopes gently into Sagenmülital, in which one of the source streams of the Sissle rises. In the east the plateau turns abruptly into a steep and narrow ravine that extends to Villnachern . The 722 meter high Linnerberg rises to the south and forms a natural border with the Aare valley .

The area of ​​the former municipal area was 254 hectares . The highest point was a few steps from the summit of the Linnerberg at 720 meters, the deepest point in Sagenmülital at 472 meters. The former municipality of Linn is part of the Aargau Jura Park, a "Regional Nature Park of National Importance". Neighboring communities were Gallenkirch in the north, Unterbözberg in the northeast, Villnachern in the east, Schinznach-Dorf in the south, Zeihen in the west and Effingen in the northeast.

history

Linne was first mentioned in a document in 1306 in the Habsburg land register . The place name comes from the Old High German (ze) lintahe and means "near the linden tree". In the Middle Ages the village belonged to the Habsburg court of Bözberg; In addition to Linn, these included Oberbözberg , Unterbözberg , Lauffohr , Mönthal , Rein , Remigen , Riniken , Rüfenach , Stilli and Villigen . In these villages the Habsburgs exercised blood jurisdiction , in Mönthal, Remigen and Villigen they also exercised lower jurisdiction .

The court changed hands several times from 1348 onwards by pledging and in 1377 it finally came under the rule of Schenkenberg . The city of Bern occupied the rule militarily in 1460 and added it as a new bailiff to the other subject areas in Bern's Aargau . In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation . In 1566 the court was divided into an upper district with Bözberg and Linn and a lower district with the other villages. Linn was part of the Elfingen parish until 1649 , but then came to the Bözberg parish. Two thirds of the population died of the plague between 1667 and 1669 .

In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Linn has belonged to the canton of Aargau. From the middle of the 19th century the population of the agricultural village decreased continuously and by 1980 it had almost halved. Since then there has been an increase again.

On December 2, 2011, the community assembly approved the merger agreement with the neighboring communities of Gallenkirch, Oberbözberg and Unterbözberg. The voters confirmed this decision on March 11, 2012 in a vote with 53 to 31 votes. The four municipalities merged on January 1, 2013 to form the new municipality of Bözberg .
