Dull village law
The Mumpfer village law of 1535 is the renewal of an earlier, no longer to be found village law of Mumpf in today's canton of Aargau .
The original parchment booklet has 16 pages, with pages 1 and 2 and 13 to 16 not being described. Hans Friedrich von Landegg's seal, which once hung on a green and yellow string, is missing. The village law of 1535 survived the village fire of 1634 during the Thirty Years' War . It is kept in the Mumpf municipal archive.
Village rights are also called village regulations, confinements or openings . They regulated the boundaries , the rights and obligations of individuals, the judicial authorities, coexistence and any taxes, and recorded local events that had grown over time. At the beginning, Count Friedrich mentions the older document on the village rules, which, however, is damaged. It was therefore rewritten by Friedrich in the presence and in cooperation with the citizens and court officials. You can also read about the inclusion of new pain .
The village law of 1535 initially describes the Mumpfer ban borders from Walbach in the Rotenfluo via Zeyningen, Zutzgen, Ober-Mumpf to the Rhine . This is included in its entire breadth in the village of Nidern-Mumpf , as can also be seen from the ban plan from 1775. Every three years the ban is considered a civic duty : Item also yetzgemelte bezirck, Zwing und Bann allweg are to be visited forever with old and young people in the third year and the Lohenen and marckstein are bypassed so that they can memorize plyben.
Village law also regulates the legal situation. It is noticeable here that the Mumpfer pastor no longer has the lower jurisdiction , which he exercises according to a document in 1391, since 1535. It now lies with the Stein rule in Rheinfelden , along with the high jurisdiction . Finally, the rights and obligations of individual persons are described: pastors, landlords, babysitters, mill owners, farmers, ferrymen.
The text was translated on November 18, 1964 by Georg Boner from the State Archives of the Canton of Aargau . In addition to the introduction, the boundaries and the final section, a total of 15 “laws” are laid down.
The introduction reads:
I, Hans Friderich von Landegk, vogt and pledge lord of the lordship on the Stein Reinfelden, confess and thuon publicly announce this writing that the hüt date come and appear for me are the mercies of vogt, court and the whole community of Mumpf, belonging to the registered authority , and for me a written permentine toboggan, inside of which the districts, margstein and lohen (Grenzstock) irer zwing and benn sampt other articles of irer orders, sayings and habits were recorded and written, underthenlich pittende after the bemelt toboggan was due to age and other reasons In terms of prestige and mass, the necessity to renew it required that I then have it recorded and written from anew and then communicated to the same record with credible certificates and certificates, so that you can keep the same irs ban and other habits and justifications at least fruitful he would like to talk.
