Rathausen is a district in the political municipality of Ebikon , in the canton of Lucerne .
history
In Rathausen there was a former monastery of the Cistercians , which was founded in 1245. In 1251 a building was erected that was named Domus Consilii , House of the Council, that is, Town Hall. In the course of secularization, the monastery was closed in 1848. The canton of Lucerne appropriated the property. After several places of residence (including the Vézelise Capuchin Monastery ), the nuns moved to the Thyrnau Monastery in 1902 .
From 1849 to 1867, the buildings were as cantonal teacher training college used in 1871 to house intern Bourbaki soldiers and in 1881 as a home for the isolation of smallpox patients . In 1882, the Grand Council of the Canton of Lucerne decided to set up a catering and educational facility for poor children . In 1951 the canton transferred its ownership to a private foundation, which ran the Rathausen reform home under the name Kinderdörfli Rathausen until 1988.
In 1989 this foundation was dissolved and transferred to the Foundation for Severely Handicapped Lucerne SSBL .
Instead of the former monastery mill (first mentioned in 1266), the Rathausen power plant was built at Rathausen (today the municipality of Emmen ) from 1894 to 1896 .
More monasteries
On July 23, 1275, the Cistercian nuns moved into a monastery in Ebersecken, built in 1274 .
