It was first mentioned in a document as Manburon in 909. In that year the St. Gallen monastery acquired goods and ruled Mammern and Neuburg above the village from the 12th century . In 1319 the lords of Kastell near Tägerwilen received the rule of Mammern from the St. Gallen Monastery as a fief . They were also the owners of the Neuburg. In 1319, St. Gallen enfeoffed the von Kastell families with the two judges . 1389 Johann von Ebratsweiler, 1405 Konrad von Bonstetten , 1411 Heinrich von Ulm and 1451 von Hohenlandenberg . In 1522 Hans Leonhard von Reischach bought the courts, which then changed hands several times. The bailiff or the judge chaired the village meetings. An opening dates from the year 1574. In the twenties of the 17th century the then feudal lords , the brothers Johann Peter ( Landammann in Uri ) and Karl Emmanuel von Roll ( Landvogt in Thurgau ) renewed the castle, which in 1687 became the property of the monastery Rheinau (ZH) passed. In 1667, the Thurgau land clerk Wolf Rudolf Reding leased the Mammern estate for 20 years, but sold his rights to the Rheinau Abbey - as it was unprofitable. After the Rheinau Abbey was closed in 1799 as a result of the French Revolution , a period of change of ownership followed. In 1866 the doctor bought Dr. Freuler took over the castle and set up a private clinic in it, the successor of which still exists today.

Mammern in 1919

Before 1275 the Abbey of St. Gallen donated the church and transferred its collage to the judge. In 1838 it went to the canton of Thurgau, and in 1843 to the parish . The Reformation was introduced in 1529. St. Gallen promoted the Counter Reformation by enfeoffing it to Catholic court lords. In 1749, the abbot of the Rheinau monastery, Bernhard Rusconi, had a baroque palace chapel built. After the fire in the simultaneous church in 1909, the Reformed Church was consecrated in 1911 and the Catholic Church in 1913.

Mammern was characterized by forestry, arable farming and viticulture as well as cattle and dairy farming. Further branches of business were fishing, taverns, mills, a brickworks and a lime kiln. From 1878 to 1940 there was a furniture veneer factory and around 1910 a match factory. The Schloss Mammern Clinic, founded in 1865 as a hydropathic hospital, was taken over by Oscar Ullmann in 1889.
