history

Parish before the merger in 1975

In 1997 the Roman estate, which was discovered in 1795, was examined again in Boltshausen and coins from the 4th century and terrazzo fragments were found. Ottinberch was first mentioned in a document around 990, when the Petershausen monastery received two vineyards near Ottoberg from Adelgoz von Märstetten. In the late Middle Ages , Boltshausen and Ottoberg were part of the so-called High Courts , which from 1460 were directly subordinate to the Thurgau governor . Five houses in Boltshausen belonged to the Weinfelden estate until 1798 .

Ecclesiastically, Ottoberg always shared the fate of the Märstetten parish ; at the beginning of the 21st century, Catholics were ecclesiastical in Weinfelden.

Ottoberg owned a parish hall at the end of the 18th century. Wine, meadow and fruit growing, forestry as well as cattle and timber trade were carried out.
