Oberwil is a former municipality and a settlement of the municipality of Gachnang in the Frauenfeld district of the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland .

geography

Oberwil lies on a gentle slope between Frauenfeld and Gachnang.

Church reform in 1998

From 1816 to 1997 Mesenriet, Oberwil and Rosenhuben formed the municipality of Oberwil, which is part of the Gachnang municipality. On January 1, 1998 , the Niederwil community merged as part of the Thurgau community reform to form the political community of Gachnang. At the same time, the districts of Zelgli and Schönenhof were separated from the local community of Oberwil and incorporated into the unified community of Frauenfeld.

history

Parish before the merger in 1998

The place was first mentioned in 1297 as Obernwile , when Duke Albrecht I of Austria allowed Vogt Jakob Hofmeister von Frauenfeld to sell a farm in Oberwil to the Töss Monastery in 1297 . In 1345 the abbot von Reichenau lent two farms in Oberwil to Hans von Gachnang. Oberwil later belonged to the Reichenau office of Frauenfeld. After 1460 Oberwil came to the city of Frauenfeld and was subordinate to its Vogt in Strass until 1798 . Ecclesiastically, Oberwil always shared the fate of the parish of Gachnang. The residents cultivated fields, meadows and fruit. After 1920 the farming village developed into an agglomeration community of Frauenfeld.
