Mumpf ( Swiss German : mʊmpf , called Niedermumpf until 1803 ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Rheinfelden district and is located in the west of the Fricktal region on the Upper Rhine , on the border with Germany .
geography
The village extends over a length of almost two kilometers in a maximum 200 meters wide bottleneck between the Rhine and the steep slopes of the Table Jura . The old village center forms the easternmost part of the settlement band and lies at the exit of the Fischinger valley . The Fischingerbach flows through it and forms a deep gorge between the Mumpferflue ( 511 m above sea level ) in the east and the Chriesiberg ( 558 m above sea level ) in the southwest. The Spitzgraben, located in the far west, separates the Chriesiberg from the Zeiningerberg. The settlement area has almost merged with that of Wallbach in the northwest . At this point, the river level also widens somewhat, as the Rhine changes its direction of flow from west to north here.
The area of the municipality is 314 hectares , of which 137 hectares are forested and 72 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 500 m above sea level. M. on the edge of the Chriesiberg plateau, the deepest at 280 m above sea level. M. on the Rhine. Neighboring communities in Switzerland are Wallbach in the northwest, Zeiningen in the west, Zuzgen in the south, Obermumpf in the southeast and Stein in the east. In the north, Mumpf borders the German municipality of Bad Säckingen .
history
Various finds indicate that the area was settled around 4000 years ago. In 1991 archaeologists excavated a middle to late Neolithic fortified settlement on the Kapf, which was surrounded by moats and palisades. Large quantities of ceramics and stone tools were also found. A Roman fort and a soldier's grave date from the second half of the 4th century . At that time, the Mumpferfluh was an important observation point on the northern border of the empire. On the way to Stein , a fragment of a milestone from the year 139 came to light.
Mumpher was first mentioned in a document in 1218. The place name comes from the Latin ad montem ferri , which means "near Eisenberg". The rulers were the Counts of Homberg-Tierstein , from 1232 the Habsburgs , who pledged the entire Fricktal to Burgundy after the Waldshut War of 1468 . When the Burgundians were defeated by the Confederates during the Burgundian Wars , Mumpf came back under Austrian rule in 1477 . As a result of the imperial reform of Emperor Maximilian I , Mumpf belonged to Upper Austria from 1491 and was located in the Möhlinbach region, a subordinate administrative unit of the Rheinfelden cameraman (from 1752 in the Breisgau district ). The lower jurisdiction also came into the possession of the sovereigns in 1463. In the Mumpfer village law of 1535, the ferry Mumpf – Bad Säckingen is attested.
In the 17th century there were hardly any longer times of peace. In March 1612 an assembly of representatives of subjects took place in Mumpf to protest against an increase in sales tax on wine. As a result, the black horse war broke out. This peasant uprising, which shook the Fricktal and neighboring areas on the Upper Rhine , was ended in September 1614 after mediation by the Confederates . The Thirty Years' War , which also affected the Fricktal between 1633 and 1638, set the village back in its economic development. In 1634 it burned down except for a few buildings. Foreign troops also moved through the region during the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697).
In 1797 the Fricktal became a French protectorate after the Peace of Campo Formio . During the Second Coalition War , the front line between the armies of France and Austria ran here . On February 20, 1802, Mumpf became a municipality in the Rheinfelden district of the Fricktal canton , which joined the Helvetic Republic in August . The municipality has belonged to the canton of Aargau since February 19, 1803.
For centuries, the villagers lived from agriculture and, above all, from fishing and rafting on the Rhine. Brine baths in Mumpf made the village a health resort for the next 137 years from 1854, with the three bathing hotels Anker, Sonne and Schönegg as well as the Mumpf lido . The opening of the Bözberg Railway on August 1, 1875 caused the first shift in traffic. After the construction of the Ryburg-Schwörstadt hydropower plant and the damming of the Rhine, the last fishermen and raftsmen had to give up their activities. The focus shifted to commerce and services. Between 1970 and 1990 the population decreased by over ten percent, but has grown steadily since then.
coat of arms
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In green white sloping river, accompanied by a yellow spearhead and yellow oar, both placed at an angle." On the community seals of 1811 and 1872 a structure could be seen that was interpreted as a beehive around 1890. This coat of arms remained in use until 1952. A year later the historically based coat of arms, which is still used today, was introduced. The river and the oar symbolize the Rhine and shipping. The spearhead reminds of the defensive strength of the peasants during the black war .
Attractions
The Catholic parish church of St. Martin , first mentioned in 1302 , was rebuilt and enlarged in 1957. A parish was established in Mumpf before the turn of the millennium when the Säckingen monastery was founded . It included the two villages Wallbach and Mumpf. In 1938 the parishes split up and have since formed their own parishes. Numerous historical buildings fell victim to the expansion of the traffic route in the 19th and 20th centuries. Of the structures that have been preserved, the former rectory from 1820 and the Säckingerhof (16th to 18th centuries) are particularly noteworthy.
The history of the place is traced in the Mumpf village museum , which is located in the old threshing floor. The river pillar in the Rhine near Mumpf , at what was then the Mumpf lido (now Camping Park Mumpf), is a special kind of building and a unique monument from the pioneering days of general electrification .

education
The community has a kindergarten and a school house where primary school is taught. Until 2005 the upper classes of the Realschule and the Secondary School were also in this school building.
