history

Parish before the merger in 1932

Mulibach was first mentioned in a document around 869. Around 869 the St. Gallen Abbey granted properties in Mühlebach. The Bishop of Constance owned the Dinghof Mühlebach and awarded it to the Canons of St. Pelagius in Bischofszell. This put the barons of Bürglen as bailiffs . From this, the Mühlebach court emerged in the late Middle Ages as part of the Bürglen rule. In 1576 the St. Gallen Hospital acquired the Mühlebach court and in 1579 the city of St. Gallen acquired the rule of Bürglen, which it held until 1798. Ecclesiastically, Mühlebach always shared the fate of the Sommeri parish .

Mühlebach probably had a mill as early as the 9th century. The mill operation was discontinued after the conversion from grain cultivation to cattle and dairy farming and the beginning of the dairy around 1900. The bathing room mentioned in 1512 belonged to St. Pelagius, which it lent to Bürglen. It was in the hands of the Straub family from 1745 to the dissolution of the inheritance relationship in 1816. The school museum opened in Mühlebach in 2002 .
