history

Parish before the merger in 1995

Moors was first mentioned in 1233 as Muron . In the Middle Ages , two thirds of Moors belonged to the Weinfelden court , the rest to the Berg and Bürglen courts . In 1460 four courtyards went to the so-called High Courts , the federal places that govern Thurgau. Around 1600 farmers were able to acquire part of the lower jurisdiction of Weinfelden and form the "Häberlin court", which until 1798 consisted of twelve or seven farms. Moors always shared the fate of the Berg parish .

Traditionally, agriculture was carried out in Mauren, until 1900 viticulture and fruit growing. In the course of the 19th century the focus shifted to cattle and dairy farming. A cheese dairy was established in 1850. Already in 1865 an improvement was carried out. Cotton weaving flourished in the 19th century . In 1895, in the building of a bankrupt machine embroidery shop, an institution for "insane" children was opened. Today there is a special school home there. Although new single-family housing estates were built on the outskirts of the village from 1970, Mauren was able to retain its village character.

Of the total of 471 inhabitants of the village of Mauren in 2018, 60 or 12.7% were foreign nationals. 282 (59.9%) were Protestant Reformed and 88 (18.7%) were Roman Catholic.
