Location of the municipality

Neunforn , in the eastern Swiss local dialect Nüüfere [ˈnyːfərə] , is a political municipality in the Frauenfeld district of the Swiss canton of Thurgau . From 1803 to 1995, Neunforn was a municipal and a local church . The localities of Oberneunforn and Niederneunforn , which belong to Neunforn, and the settlement of Wilen bei Neunforn are located on the heights in the lower Thur Valley .

The municipality of Neunforn or the localities of Ober- and Niederneunforn should not be confused with the village of Lanzenneunforn, which is in the municipality of Herdern . This only bears the same name in linguistic terms, but never belonged to Neunforn.

history

The Protestant Church Oberneunforn was always responsible for Ober- and Niederneunforn.

Neunforn was first mentioned in 962 as in Niuvora . It is a formation from the Old High German adjective niuwi "new" and a generic word that goes back to either Old High German furuh "Furche, Ackerland" or Old High German * faro "who drives, goes". In the former, more probable case, the place name means "with the new furrows, with the new farmland", in the latter case "with the new settlers, with the newcomers". Both explanations indicate that Neunforn is a new settlement in relation to the older Stammheim . The municipal coat of arms, on the other hand, expresses a folk etymological interpretation as "near the nine pines".

The history of Niederneunforn and Oberneunforn is closely linked. In 963 there was a court in Neunforn. Around 1250 the barons of Teufen sold their property in Neunforn to the Töss monastery . The lower courts Ober- and Niederneunforn came into one hand around 1500, from 1554 they belonged to the Stokar von Schaffhausen and from 1694 to 1798 the city ​​of Zurich . The political community Neunforn was created in 1996 from the merger of the local communities Niederneunforn, Oberneunforn and Wilen bei Neunforn and the municipal community Neunforn. It includes exactly the area that originally belonged to the Neunforn domain. The local community of Fahrhof Oberneunforn had already joined in 1870 .

The parish included Oberneunforn, Niederneunforn, Wilen and Burghof. In 1265 it was donated to Töss Monastery and incorporated in 1291 . Zurich abolished this during the Reformation - which Neunforn joined in 1525 - and took over the collature until 1843 .

The residents cultivated arable land and cultivated vines, as well as forestry, dairy farming and livestock farming. In 2005 agriculture provided 38% of the community's jobs.

Blazon : Nine green pines with black trunks growing in white from a straight green shield base .

Talking coat of arms , because the name Neunforn is pronounced in the dialect as Nüüfere and sounds similar to nine pines . In 2012, the municipality provided the coat of arms of the former municipality of Oberneunforn for the government building of the canton of Thurgau in Frauenfeld, but without making it the coat of arms for the political community.
