Mülligen ( Swiss German : ˈmʏlɪgə ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Brugg district and is located around three kilometers southeast of the district capital in the lower Reuss valley .

geography

The village is located in the northeastern part of the flat and fertile Birrfeld on a gravel terrace, south of the Reuss . Immediately on the river bank, the terrain drops steeply, as the river has dug itself into a 40 meter deep gorge here over the millennia. The Reuss forms the municipality boundary in the north and east. In the southwest the Eiteberg rises ( 500  m above sea level ), on the south side of which lies the hamlet of Trotte ( 392  m above sea level ). A gravel pit characterizes the area south of the village.

The area of ​​the municipality is 316 hectares , of which 103 hectares are forested and 100 hectares are built over. The highest point is the summit of the Eiteberg at 500 meters, the lowest is at 335 meters on the Reuss. Neighboring communities are Birmenstorf in the north and east, Birrhard in the south, Lupfig and Hausen in the west and Windisch in the north-west.

history

Aerial view (1964)

The oldest settlement witnesses are two groups of early medieval graves. The first written mention of Mulinon comes from the year 1273. The place name comes from the Old High German (ze) mulinon and means "at the mills". In the Middle Ages , the village belonged to Eigenamt , the oldest possession of the Habsburgs in Aargau, whose headquarters are only a few kilometers away on the Wülpelsberg. The Lords of Mülinen , a ministerial family , owned a small castle, the remains of which were completely removed by a quarry in the 19th century. In 1308 the land and judicial rule was transferred to the Königsfelden monastery in Windisch, which was founded in the same year .

After the conquest of Aargau by the Confederates in 1415, the city of Bern took over the rule and the self-office was now part of the subject areas in the Bernese Aargau . In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation and dissolved the Königsfelden monastery. They converted their own office to the Landvogtei Königsfelden and now exercised all rulership rights in this area. In 1688 a third of the population died of the plague . In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Mülligen has belonged to the canton of Aargau.

In addition to agriculture and viticulture, working from home for the textile industry found its way into the lives of the villagers after 1730 . In 1849 the first industrial enterprise was established, a gypsum mill. In 1885, thirteen houses were destroyed by fire. The mining of gravel began in 1924. The population stagnated until around 1960, and after 1900 agriculture was increasingly displaced by small businesses and service providers. After the opening of the A3 motorway , Mülligen was easily accessible for commuters and the number of residents has almost tripled since 1970.

Attractions

The name of the village probably comes from the mill that was built in the 11th century on the banks of the Reuss. This was in operation until 1914 and is now a listed building . Until the 19th century, the only restaurant in the village was located here. The "Hof" is a small manorial estate that was built in the second quarter of the 18th century on behalf of the Brugger mayor Hans Heinrich Fröhlich. The reform pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi lived there from 1769 to 1771 , before he settled on the Neuhof in nearby Birr .

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In yellow over a green three-mountain black mill wheel." Apart from the Dreiberg , the coat of arms of the municipality corresponds to that of the ministerial family of the Lords of Mülinen and has been in use since 1872.
