Müslen is a hamlet belonging to the municipality of Birmenstorf in Switzerland . Together with the hamlet of Muntwil , it forms the Birmenstorf district of Müslen .

geography

The hamlet of Müslen is only a few meters west of the boundary of Rütihof , which belongs to the city of Baden . The hamlet is located almost 600 meters east of the Reuss , on whose western bank is Birrhard . Muntwil closes north at Müslen, the road continues from there towards Birmenstorf. The town of Mellingen is located south of Müslen .

Surname

The name Müslen is derived from the Old High German mussea , which is related to Mies and Moos , i.e. indicates a damp, swampy area. Müslen did not get its name from the first farm founded there, but rather the farm from the existing name of the area or the natural conditions on site.

history

The first courtyard was probably built in the 13th century, but was first mentioned in a document dated August 3, 1405. Until 1798, sovereignty lay with the respective noble families who resided at Stein Castle in Baden . If Müslen was created before 1264, it would have been the Counts of Kyburg first. From 1264 until the conquest of the County of Baden by the Confederates in 1415, the Habsburg rulers were sovereigns. After that, Müslen belonged to the eight old towns of the Swiss Confederation and from 1712 to the three Reformed towns of Zurich, Bern and Glarus. At the time of the Helvetic Republic, Müslen was part of the canton of Baden and from 1803 of the canton of Aargau .
In spite of the close connection to Birmenstorf, to whose church district Müslen belonged, in the 13th century the lower jurisdiction over mueslen remained with the lords on the stone, while Birmenstorf and the Lindmühle went to the lords of Liebegg as fiefs. Even after 1415, the situation in the lower court in Müslen was regulated more simply than in Birmenstorf, since part of the manorial lordship there lay with the Königsfelden monastery and after 1528 with Hofmeister von Königsfelden.
When the offices in the Helvetic Republic were dissolved and the office of Birmenstorf was divided into four (later five) municipalities, Müslen, unlike the neighboring farm Muntwil, stayed with the municipality of Birmenstorf. The following Napoleonic wars also had an impact on cereals, so in the years up to 1816 149 men had to be supplied with 59 horses from foreign troops. Already in 1813, Müslen, together with Birmenstorf and Muntwil, had replaced the tithe. Buying back the land interest was time-consuming. If the village succeeded in paying the last installment after 23 years in 1841, Müslen was only able to complete the ransom in 1850. A request from Müsler to be connected to the water supply in Birmenstorf in 1911 was rejected by the community. However, because cereals had been suffering from a lack of water since the 1880s, the community agreed to provide a good source of cereals. Apart from the technical systems, the 2½ km long pipeline was built by the Müslers themselves. It also included a reservoir on the Rugg, which enabled seven hydrants to be connected by installing an extinguishing chamber. From then on, the Müsler no longer had to work in the village fire brigade, but instead formed an independent hydrant train, which was commanded by a Müsler. The Müsler fire brigade was only dissolved in the 1960s, when fire protection was significantly improved through the motorization of the Birmenstorfer fire brigade and the on-call service introduced in 1964 in the nearby Melligen tank farm. The electricity came to Müslen in 1918. Together with the hamlet of Muntwil, the Müsler founded the Elektra Müslen cooperative and organized the power supply together with Rütihof. The question of the school location repeatedly led to intensive discussions in the 20th century. In 1935 and again in 1943, the Müsler attempted to ensure that the students could go to Rütihof instead of Birmenstorf, which would have meant just 10 minutes instead of 50 minutes to get to school. The request from 1935 was rejected, but the students were given some relief. In 1943, too, the request was initially rejected by the Education Directorate. After an on-site inspection in November 1943, the Education Directorate finally agreed and on May 1, 1944, a school contract between the Birmenstorf and Rütihof communities came into force, regulating school attendance for Müls pupils in Rütihof.
