Location of the municipality

Risch [ ˈriːʃ ] (usually called Risch Rotkreuz ) is a municipality in the canton of Zug in Switzerland .

The community consists of the small town of Rotkreuz and the villages of Risch , Buonas and Holzhäusern . It is located in the Ennetsee region and is part of the Zurich metropolitan region . Because of this and because of its status as an energy city and a low tax rate , Risch is one of the most attractive municipalities in the Swiss Confederation and has the highest location qualities in Switzerland . With around 1.7 percent annual population growth, Risch is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Switzerland, and with 10,439 people who are economically resident (June 30, 2015), the fourth largest municipality in the canton of Zug.

In the history of the municipality of Risch , after the military intervention by France in 1798, the bailiwick of Gangolfswil and the rule of Buona merged to form today's political municipality of Risch. Through the construction of the railway, Rotkreuz became the economic center and through the construction of the town hall it became the capital of the municipality of Risch, which is why it is de facto called Risch Rotkreuz . In 2009 the town of Risch celebrated its 850th anniversary.

The community is known through Peter von Hertenstein , who founded the Papal Swiss Guard here , the Gut Aabach , the Buonas and Freudenberg castles , the largest golf course in Switzerland, the important Rotkreuz train station and as a regionally important pharmaceutical location through Roche Diagnostics (company headquarters and training center) and Novartis / Sandoz . (Location centralization). Rotkreuz is the university location of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences .

The 22.9 square kilometer municipality of Risch is located on a foothill of the Rooterberg , which extends to the Lorze in Cham and separates Lake Zug in the east from the Reuss in the west. From a supraregional perspective, Risch is located in northern central Switzerland between Zurich and Lucerne , on the border with Aargau and thus to the Swiss Plateau , and regionally in the extreme south-west of the canton of Zug in the Ennetsee region . The highest point in the community is 680  m above sea level. M. on the Kappelerberg in the south, the deepest at 402  m above sea level. M. on the Reuss in the northwest.

To the south, the municipality borders on the district of Küssnacht in the canton of Schwyz and the constituency of Lucerne-Land (formerly the Lucerne district ) in the canton of Lucerne , and to the west on the district of Muri in the canton of Aargau . The neighboring communities are, clockwise, the Schwyz community Küssnacht SZ , the Lucerne communities Meierskappel , Gisikon , Root and Honau , the Aargau communities Dietwil and Oberrüti and the Zug community Hünenberg . Due to the sea connection, Risch borders on the Zug municipalities of Cham and Zug .

The southern border of the municipality runs through the Kappelerberg- , Sonderi- and Honauerwald forests and is just at the top of the Rossberg and Michaelskreuz peaks of the Rooterberg foothills. To the north, the Hintere Hölltobelbach , the Dersbach and an artificially defined line between them form the border to Hünenberg ZG .

In spatial planning , according to the classification of the Swiss Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE) , Risch is a remaining agglomeration core municipality . According to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), Risch is a city and is a municipality in the Zug agglomeration of the metropolis of Zurich . Risch is a member of the Zurich Metropolitan Area Association . If the metropolitan regions of Switzerland are divided into two, Risch is assigned to the metropolitan region of Northern Switzerland , as proposed by the European umbrella organization METREX .

Community structure

Settlements in Risch

The municipality of Risch is divided into the small town of Rotkreuz , in which over 80% of the total population live, as well as the villages of Buonas , Holzhäuser and Risch . Rotkreuz arose from the merging of the hamlets Waldeten and Rotrüti , later Küntwil and several individual farms that became scattered settlements since the middle of the 20th century . The area, which was used purely for agriculture until the 20th century, was characterized by scattered farms, in which the Kirchweiler Risch and wooden houses as well as Buonas formed larger hamlets. To this day, despite the enormous growth and the main function of Rotkreuz, these three places have retained their independence and have grown into clustered villages . In addition to these localities, there are three hamlets in the municipality of Risch recognized by the ARE , some hamlet-like scattered settlements with farms and individual settlements .

Land use

427 hectares in Risch are settlement areas . The largest populated area is Rotkreuz, where residential , commercial and industrial uses can be found. The towns of Buonas, Holzhäusern and Risch have almost exclusively residential uses. Outside the localities, the following uses are mainly to be found: agricultural areas (cultivation of maize , cherry trees and vines ) and meadows (for animal husbandry), which make up 808 hectares, as well as landfill areas (for building rubble , near Alznach) and sports areas (football fields, golf course, wooden houses and others) . The largest forests in the community are the Kirchberg (also Chilchberg ) between Buonas and Risch, the Sijentalwald near Rotkreuz, the Zweiernholz in the north and the mountain forests Kappelerberg , Sonderi- and Honauerwald in the south. In addition to these, there are smaller forest areas around the Buonas and Freudenberg castles, the Bannwald in Küntwil and the Eichholz in Oberrisch. All forest and wooded areas together extend over 218 hectares.

Waters

The Lake Zug in Risch

Lake Zug has the largest share of water in the canton of Zug, the western part of which belongs to the municipality of Risch. There are also smaller stagnant bodies of water such as the Binzmühleweiher and the Küntwilerweiher in Rotkreuz. The most important river is the Reuss , which flows from Lucerne to Baden AG and forms the natural border with the canton of Aargau. Due to its location on the mountain, Rotkreuz in particular has many small streams flowing through it. The western of these streams flow through the Binzmühleweiher into the Reuss (including the Steintobelbach , Küntwilerbach , Scharelenbach and Mühlebach ), the eastern ones into Lake Zug. In addition to Lake Zug and the Reuss, the Aabach in the south and the Hintere Hölltobelbach and the Dersbach in the north form a natural boundary for the community. A large part of the naturally flowing water system, mainly in Rotkreuz, is canalised. There are several flat moors on Lake Zug in Dersbach .

geology

The community is located exactly on the border between two large landscapes.

From a geological point of view, the community lies on the border of two major Swiss landscapes. The northern part of the municipality can be counted as part of the Mittelland , the southern part of the Swiss Alps , more precisely the ( Schwyzer ) Pre-Alps .

The northern part is a slightly hilly, open landscape, which slowly rises from Lake Zug in the east to the west and then slopes down to the Reuss plain. Rotkreuz was created on an original moraine . In the south of the municipality, the terrain to the Rooterberg rises more sharply , forming a panoramic terrace on the northern slope in Ibikon, which extends to Böschenrot in the southwest. Risch and Buonas are on the shores of Lake Zug. The wooded peninsula Buonas , which separates Risch and Buonas , sets a focal point . The area of ​​the municipality of Risch, like almost the entire canton of Zug, is located on subalpine molasse .

During the Ice Age , the community was under the Reuss Glacier. After the Ice Age, Lake Zug extended to what is now the center of Rotkreuz. Today, post-glacial Reuss gravel can still be found along the Reuss over lake soil deposits, some of which are covered with floodplain . The largest area is the Upper Freshwater Molasse , which contains colored marls and marl sandstones. On the slope of the Rooterberg up to the Buonas peninsula, the upper sea molasse with sandstones with marl layers is predominant. The southeastern part of Risch consists of the lower freshwater molasse with an alternation of conglomerates ( Nagelfluh ), sandstones, marls and breccias . Along the Zugersee in Dersbach, under the fens , ice-age lake deposits can be found consisting of alternating deposits of clay , sand and silt .

climate

Spring begins in the municipality of Risch a few days later than in the other parts of the canton of Zug due to the higher elevation. The mean January temperatures are between −2 ° C and 0 ° C, the mean July temperatures between +18 ° C and +21 ° C. The mean annual rainfall is between 120 and 160 cm. Due to a climate that is mainly determined by the Atlantic, but also by continental currents, there are relatively strong temperature fluctuations in Risch.

prehistory

The oldest traces of settlement were found in the flat areas of the lake near Dersbach, Zweiern, Buonas and Oberrisch and come from the Pfyn and Horgen cultures . In 2011, unlike other settlements on Lake Zug, they were not included in the World Heritage List “Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps” .

Finds along the Schwarzbach in Dersbach are among the oldest Neolithic settlements and show rich finds with pottery shards and weapons. Finds of a hand mill in Schwarzbach and a grain squeezer in Oberrisch suggest arable farming. In 1995 and 1997 the remains of a Neolithic settlement of the Pfyn culture were excavated in Oberrisch and Aabach. It comprises 1,300 piles and extensive finds (ceramics, casting crucibles, copper remains, stone tools, braids and fabrics). It was dated to around 3700 BC. Pointed out. In Buonas there are remains of at least one Neolithic lakeside settlement of the Horgen culture (around 3500–2800 BC) and one high medieval settlement (around 1020–1170 AD). Remains of a Neolithic village were also found in Zweiern. Several Bronze Age settlement sites and Roman urn graves from the 2nd century AD were excavated in wooden houses when the golf course was built in 1994. Due to the construction of a Roman military route from the Rhine via Risch, Küssnacht and Brünig to Italy, Roman or Gallo-Roman finds are made time and again. The field name Alznach can be traced back to the Gallo-Roman place name Alciniacum . Many of the other field names suggest a later settlement by Alemanni . On the Chilchberg near Risch there is an L-shaped row of stones, the time of which is unknown. A Roman coin treasure consisting of 10 silver and 169 copper coins was found in Ibikon in 1824 or 1838 ; it dates from the 3rd century AD and is now considered lost.

Medieval land ownership (until 1798)

Buonas coat of arms

Coat of arms of Hertenstein

The early Middle Ages are documented by traces of one of the oldest churches in the canton of Zug. Under today's baroque church of St. Verena in Risch from 1680–1684 are the foundations of a church that was probably built in the 8th century. From 1000 onwards the first manors and the first documented mentions of places such as Dersbach (1064), Gangolfswil (around 1150) and Risch (1159) appear.

Gangolfswil in the Middle Ages and the Reformation

Through the oldest Habsburg counts, the northern areas of today's municipality of Risch came to the Muri monastery, founded in 1027, with the Gangolfswil farm between 1096 and 1111 . Pope Hadrian IV placed the monastery under his protection in a document issued in the Lateran in Rome on March 28, 1159, in which the Risch church is mentioned for the first time as ecclesia Rishe . The Murenser Dinghof consists of several individual farms and smaller hamlets and formed its center in wooden houses. Around 1298 the right of patronage changed from the Muri monastery to the von Hertenstein family, who lived in Hertenstein Castle (now Buonas Castle) . The city of Zug took over essential basic rights in Gangolfswil from the Muri monastery in 1410 and finally bought the farm on September 5, 1486. Thus the area became the Zugerischen Vogtei Gangolfswil .

The Obervogt von Gangolfswil , who lived in Zug, changed annually until 1592, and every two years from 1592 to 1789, next to him was the Untervogt von Gangolfswil , who also had a decisive influence on the administration. In 1627 the St. Wendelin chapel was built, in 1709 the rifle and parish hall, which strengthened the central function of wooden houses. The rule of Buona as well as its Risch collature could not be subordinated to the rule of the city of Zug. On February 7, 1798, the staff leaders, the councilors and the citizens of Zug wrote a letter to the bailiwicks in which they were to be repealed, including the bailiwick of Gangolfswil. At an extraordinary rural community on Sunday, February 11, 1798, all “newly established citizens” were granted citizenship and the subject relationship in the Zug bailiwicks was revoked.

The rule of Buona in the Middle Ages and the Reformation

The manorial rule of Buona cannot be described until the 11th century, as there were many loose alliances. The first knight named after Buonas is named Immo von Buonas in the Acta Murensia . He lived in the 12th century in Buonas Castle, which was probably built at that time . Due to the marriage of Adelheid von Buonas to Ulrich von Hertenstein one hundred years later, the castle and rule passed to the Hertenstein family for around 400 years around 1250, which was only ended with the death of Erasmus von Hertenstein in 1654. In the Middle Ages, the owner of the Buonas territory had many sovereign rights, such as judicial competences, market rights, pub monopoly, church patronage rights, rights of instruction over mass and courts, fishing, supervision over forests and the right to appoint mills and shipping. In 1426 the place of justice, which was previously located in front of the Risch church, was moved to Buonas. The castle, which burned down in 1478, was rebuilt from 1494 to 1498. In 1506 the Buonaser Peter von Hertenstein led the first Swiss Guards to Rome at the request of the Pope . On August 24, 1570, Cardinal Karl Borromeo boarded the ship on his Swiss visitation trip in Buonas to cross over to Zug. Although the rule passed in 1656 when Katharina von Hertenstein ceded her husband Johann Martin Schwytzer, the owners of the patronage rights of the von Risch church remained members of the von Hertenstein family until 1798. During the exercise of power by the von Hertenstein family, numerous conflicts arose with the city of Zug, which ruled the Gangolfswil bailiwick around Buonas. After the death of Johann Martin Schwytzer in 1713, the rule of Buona passed to various families, in 1782 to two citizens of Zug. As a result of the revolution in 1798, the last owners lost the castle and rights without compensation.

Further ownership in the Middle Ages and the Reformation

In addition to the two prevailing ownership structures, smaller areas belonged to different monasteries. The Engelberg Abbey had Streubesitze Lake Zug. The Kappel monastery owned areas south of the Buonas territory to Böschenrot. The Fraumünster monastery owned areas in Waldeten, which were later sold to the Frauental monastery . This already owned areas in Waldeten. Areas in Ibikon and Breiten belonged to the monastery of St. Leodegar .

In addition, the hamlets of Küntwil, Ibikon, Stockeri and Rüti were considered to be part of the township, but were not part of the Vogtei Gangolfswil.

Risch community (from 1798)

Due to the French Revolution and the propagated values ​​of freedom, equality and brotherhood among people, the bailiwicks and lordships were dissolved in 1798. Only the parish boundaries, which subsequently spanned cantons , remained in place until the 20th century.

Today's municipality of Risch emerged in 1798 from the former bailiwick of Gangolfswil in the north, which included the districts of Berchtwil , Holzhäusern , Waldeten , Zweiern and Dersbach , from the jurisdiction of Buonas in the south with the districts of Buonas , Risch (church center) and Oberrisch as well as the city delivered innovative possessions Küntwil , Ibikon , Ruti and Stockeri . These properties were also called the three upper neighborhoods and belonged to the parish of Meierskappel. Buonas became the center of the new political community.

Helveticism, mediation and restoration (1798–1830)

In the first days of March 1798, Freiburg , Solothurn and Bern were forced to surrender to the French armies. The citizens in the rural communities ( Ägeri , Menzingen and Baar ZG ) were ready to take up the fight with the approaching French. On April 11, 1798, France called on all unoccupied places to surrender without a fight and to adopt the unified constitution. Since the city of Zug did not manage to peacefully summon the Landsgemeinde, an attack by Zug failed. Only when the cantons of Schwyz , Uri and Unterwalden went into battle did Zug change its mind. There was a Rischer among the fallen. After the fighting, wagons had to be brought to all the monasteries to deliver the treasures to Paris .

During the Helvetic Republic (1798–1803), the term municipality was replaced by the French foreign word municipality . The municipality of Risch had 793 inhabitants in 1798, 200 of them active citizens. Risch belonged to the canton of Waldstätte , whose main town had been the city of Zug since May 1799 . The ruler's coat of arms, which had previously been used for the Vogtei Gangolfswil, has been replaced by the Zug shield with the crossbar and the first letter of the municipality. Later, the municipal coat of arms appeared in various versions in connection with or without a lynx.

With the mediation act of 1803, Switzerland regained the political structure of a confederation . Now the canton of Zug consisted of nine municipalities, the special status of the city of Zug was canceled. The Landsgemeinde was set up as the highest cantonal authority. Municipalities and community chambers were dissolved. The new legislative authority was a cantonal council (le conseil du canton), also known as the city ​​and district council . On August 28, 1814, the Rischer clearly committed themselves to the new Basic Law, which brought about the transition from direct to representative democracy as an essential feature. On September 9, 1814, the new Swiss federal treaty was adopted or its invocation on August 7, 1815, which brought Switzerland into the era of restoration . At that time, the community gathered in Buonas. In 1828 the parish poor and orphanage in the «Bürgerhof» was opened in wooden houses.

Regeneration and the Sonderbund War (1830–1848)

In the republics of the Confederation of States, conservative and liberal forces clashed during the regeneration after 1830. They fought for power in the individual cantons and for the organization of the federal government. In the 1940s, the political differences in Switzerland were heading for a crisis. The bitterness of the liberal minority had already grown so much in late 1844 that they tried to overthrow the government in Lucerne on December 8th. The first free movement failed, and numerous liberals had to flee to the neighboring cantons, including Zug. The inn Zum Rothen Kreuz had the reputation of being a refuge for Lucerne volunteers and opponents of the regime. To be protected against new attacks, the seven Catholic-Conservative cantons founded a protection association , the Sonderbund , in December 1845 . After the fall of Freiburg on November 14, 1847, General Dufour ordered his troops to attack Lucerne. After Zug surrendered without a fight on November 21, the decisive battles between the Sonderbund and Tagsatzung troops took place on November 23 in Gisikon and Meierskappel . The hilly terrain of the municipality of Risch played a decisive role in the deployment of the federal troops.

During the attack on the battles on the Michaelskreuz, the Egloff and König brigades were grouped in Berchtwil. At 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., the advance of the König Brigade followed, attacking via Rotkreuz and Küntwil. The Egloff Brigade was to attack via Honau and Gisikon. During the battle of Meierskappel on the night of November 22nd to 23rd, 1847, when it was not certain where the battle would take place and a battle of Red Cross was suspected, the municipality of Risch was ultimately largely spared. Because the brigade battalion did not manage to advance to Rotkreuz, they met the enemy in Meierskappel. Various private individuals were harmed by the fighting on Rischer Boden. The municipal council received 50 francs from an aid organization in the canton of Zug, which it distributed among four victims. Risch had to pay the canton of Zug 3,587 francs (of 26,650 francs for the occupation debt).

Modern federal state and industrialization (from 1848)

Rotkreuz on the Zurich-Lucerne railway line, the Gotthard Railway and the Aargau Southern Railway can be seen in gray.

The villages of Risch, Buonas (in the picture) and wooden houses were able to maintain their independence.

In the time after the Sonderbund War there were still some problems in the community. The Rischer defended themselves against the cantonal constitution, the school conditions in the community led to tensile tests and the chapel responsibility had to be redefined after the death of the old chapel manager, Heinrich Ludwig Anton Keizer. In terms of taxation, the three upper neighborhoods Ibikon, Küntwil and Stockeri also had to bear burdens. The unified congregation existed until 1873 , which was newly divided into residents , citizens and parishes by the cantonal constitution . With the French Revolution , maneuvering and other privileges were abolished. Nevertheless, customs offices can be found in the canton of Zug until the 19th century. Until the construction of the Kantonsstrasse 1839/1840, the Rischer customs office was in Berchtwil, then in the newly built Gasthof Zum Rothen Kreuz in 1810 , which existed until 2011.

At the end of the 1850s, plans were drawn up for railway lines between Zurich and Lucerne. As a result of the planned project of the bankrupt Ostwestbahn , the Rothkreuz railway station designed by Paul Adolphe Tièche and Jakob Friedrich Wanner was built in 1864 . With the opening of the Gotthard Railway in 1872, which was run by the Swiss Central Railway , and the Aargau Southern Railway in 1881, Rotkreuz became the central transfer point for travelers from the German Empire to Ticino and Italy. From 1882 onwards, construction activity and population increased, especially in the newly emerging Rotkreuz. New access lines via Zurich and Zug formed competition, as a result of which the Gotthard Railway stopped its traffic via Rotkreuz on May 1, 1897. The population was declining.

Until the Second World War , the community only remained a hub for rail and road traffic, and industry barely developed. In 1874 there was a brickworks in Rotkreuz for a short time , from 1895 a parqueterie factory , which in 1904 was the first building in the community to be connected to the Rathausen power station . In 1906 the milk processing cooperative Risch was founded, which began in 1907 with the construction of the cheese dairy building. From the 1930s onwards, the Sauer and Hydrogen Works Lucerne and the animal feed manufacturer Utro established a branch in Rotkreuz . The first major industrial settlement was the (first Swiss) oil refinery , which was opened by IPSA (Industrie petrolifère SA) in 1940 in Rotkreuz. An extraction plant was built next to the refinery to extract oil and heating material from coffee grounds . After the Second World War, more companies, mainly in Rotkreuz, set up shop. In 1959 the parish office moved from Buonas to Rotkreuz in the old schoolhouse. In 1962, after it was sold to Egypt , the area of ​​the oil refinery came into the possession of the OKK ( Upper War Commissariat ) of the federal government and was expanded by eight large tanks. Kerosene for aircraft of the Swiss Army is now stored in these tanks . In 1970, the town planning established the boundaries of Rotkreuz. New residential areas near the train station were created and a new village emerged. In 1969, the first bypass of the center of Rotkreuz was opened, from 1974 the N4 and N14 motorways , which connected the community to the Swiss national road network and made it even more economically attractive.

Upswing to a commercial and pharmaceutical location

Many new residential areas have been created in the community, the picture shows construction work in Langweid in Rotkreuz.

Energy city of Risch Rotkreuz

In the second half of the 20th century, the Zug region dynamically expanded into a national and international financial and trading center, benefiting from its proximity to Zurich and an economically attractive tax policy . The number of jobs increased rapidly, the number of residents rose sharply, and the construction boom broke out almost explosively. The first pharmaceutical company, Roche Diagnostics , soon set up shop in Risch with its Swiss headquarters in Rotkreuz, and many other small and medium-sized companies followed. Zug rose to the top of the financially strong cantons . The large new housing developments in Rotkreuz included area developments in Weid and Berchtwilerstrasse from 1970 , the new, larger train station was inaugurated in 1972, and from 1975 the Rotkreuz industrial area developed between the village and the motorway. The villages of Holzhäusern and Risch developed only slowly, Buonas experienced a sharp increase in population from 1980 onwards due to the expansion of the single-family house district. All villages retained their independence.

In 1986 the new town hall of the community was opened in an urban planning concept with a retirement home and central facilities; Rotkreuz became the center of the municipality of Risch. The Rotkreuz school was expanded in various stages, and new area developments north of the train station (including Schöngrund , Sonnmatt , Grundstrasse , Birkenmatt ), in Halden , in Waldegg and in Küntwil. From 1994 the golf course Holzhäusern was laid out, the largest golf course in Switzerland; the project to build Legoland Switzerland failed. Area developments such as Am Sijentalwald , Lindenmatt and Allrüti followed from 2000 . Roche Diagnostics built a training center in Buonas Castle Park in 2001 and moved its international headquarters to Rotkreuz by 2008. There has been a connection to the Zug urban railway and the Lucerne S-Bahn since 2004 . In 2008 the municipality of Risch was awarded the Energy City label . From 2009, the old town center of Rotkreuz, west of the town hall, was rebuilt and redesigned, and construction of the car-free Langweid district began in 2011 . This is the largest timber construction settlement in Central Switzerland. In 2011, the Roche Tower was the first building to be classified as a high-rise in Risch; until the completion of the Park Tower in the city of Zug, it will be the tallest building in the canton. In 2013, the pharmaceutical company Novartis centralized its Swiss administrative headquarters for Novartis Pharma, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals , Alcon and Consumer Health also here. As a result of these developments, the population has quintupled in 50 years. Rotkreuz has been the university location of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences since 2016 .

In 2005 the merger with the Lucerne municipality of Meierskappel failed . The community has been unofficially called Risch Rotkreuz since 2007, and in 2009 the town of Risch celebrated its 850th anniversary. At the end of 2012, the 10'000 population limit was exceeded, but Risch still wants to call itself a community.

Place names

In the document issued by Pope Hadrian IV in Lateran in Rome on March 28, 1159 , in which the Muri monastery was placed under the protection of the Pope, the church in Rishe was first mentioned in a document. Further, referred to in documents names are for example Riske , Rixa , Rysche , Rischse or Risch . Even the oldest evidence shows the pronunciation with a long i, as it is still pronounced today (in phonetic transcription [ ˈriːʃ ]). According to Weigand's dictionary, Risch means a swamp rush , scirpus lacustris , which can be carried over to reed, marshland and clearing. These can be found on the lower Kirchberg. Due to the important parish of Risch, this name was used in 1798 for the newly formed parish.

The area of ​​Rotkreuz, which was called Rotrüti until the 17th century, is also named after a plant. Like Böschenrot, the word Rotrüti contains the Old High German word riotto , which means something like reed . This reed goes back to the lake of Rotkreuz , when the Zugersee reached Rotkreuz in the post-ice age. Since the soil of Rotrüti was often heavily forested, the partial word -rüti can be found in the name. In 1685 the Rotrüti turned out to be divided into two parts, which also explains the disappearance of the field name. On the southern part of the Rotrüti there was a cross that was documented from around 1610. This used to stand on the continuation of the moraine hill , on which the Reformed Church is today. The Rotkreuzhof farm was named after this red cross in 1840 and the new train station in 1864. At the beginning of the 20th century people still often talked about the red cross . The name and size of Rotkreuz were determined by the zone planning in 1970.

Other local and field names are named after plants or plant-like things. The names Binzmühle and Binzrain originate from the rushes that can be found at this location , Bŏchunnaso is named after the headland (nose) overgrown by beeches (later Buonas emerged from this ). Clearing field names occur on former forested areas, such as in Ruti , Allrüti , Bannholz , Schachen and Stockeri . On the other hand, Waldeten , which one could assume to be related to a forest, is named after the old German name Waltrat. The field name Alznach can be traced back to the Gallo-Roman place name Alciniacum . Other field names suggest a later settlement by Alamannen , such as Berchtwil , Gangolfswil , Ibikon or Küntwil .

In the Acta Murensia from 1100 the field names Terisbak (today Dersbach), Holzhäusern and Rishe (today Risch) are first mentioned in a document. In Hans Conrad Gygers Zurich cantonal map of 1667 and in the Walser map of 1768 the place names appear Büchenaß , driving , Hertenstein , Rysch , wood Hüsern , Berchtwyl and Ybicken on.

Municipal coat of arms

Blazon of the municipal coat of arms of Risch: In gold (yellow) on green ground a green deciduous tree with red fruits, on the right of the tree an upright red lynx turned to the left.

On today's municipal coat of arms there is neither the parish seal of Risch, nor the knight family von Buonas, nor that of their successors, the Lords of Hertenstein . In 1597 the depiction of St. Verena was the coat of arms of the Gangolfswil bailiwick . It is believed that the Vogtle people of Gangolfswil in the 16th century used their own and new coat of arms, which has been tangible since 1612. On this, however, the lynx is rising to the right. The lynx, which is a very rare heraldic animal, can be found again due to the great hunts of 1700, as many animals, including the lynx, were killed at that time. Another tradition of the lynx on the coat of arms is the lynx worship in the 18th century. The tree and the fruits stand for the (formerly) heavily forested, and often fertile, area.

The coat of arms of the municipality of Risch formed in Helvetic Republic was the Zuerich shield, covered by the initial R, and was in use by the parish and parish until the end of the 19th century. The rule of Buona had, apart from during the rule of the Hertensteiners, its own coat of arms, which can still be found today in the banner of Buonas .

population

The strong population growth created many new residential and business areas. In the picture: The Suurstoffi development in Rotkreuz.

Population development

Before the railway was built around 1860, the community of Risch grew only slowly. At the time of the old Swiss Confederation, the population was around 700 in 150 households, which corresponds to around five people per household. From the time of the Helvetic Republic , the population increased. Shortly before 1850 it rose to over 1,000 inhabitants in 167 households, which corresponds to around six people per household. In 1880 the number reached a high of 1235 residents. Through the reallocation of the Gotthard traffic on the railway line east of Lake Zug, the population increased from 1897, and recovered again until about 1920. From 1930 began a continuous growth of the population, which in 1970 was reinforced by local planning in from the small railway village to the town developing Red cross. From 1960 the number of households rose from 441 (1960) to 806 (1970), 1321 (1980) and 1786 in 1985. At the same time, the number of people per household fell from 5.7 (1888) to 4.8 (1950) , 3.9 (1970) and finally to 2.9 people per household in 1985. Due to the strong population increase from 1980 to 2010 by more than 5000 inhabitants (more than 50%), Risch was one of the municipalities with the largest ( percentage and absolute ) change in the resident population from 1980 to 2000 in Switzerland. Since 2008 there have been significantly more arrivals than departures. In some cases, the absolute value of the newcomers was higher than that of the city ​​of Zug . In 2012 there were 992 arrivals and 857 departures. At the end of 2011 the population of people with economic domicile was 9,807 in 3,797 households, at the end of 2012 it was 10,005, at the end of 2013 it was 10,195, and in mid-2015 it was 10,439. Further construction activity, especially in Langweid ( Suurstoffi ) and Lindenmatt, is expected to result in continued strong population growth. The population has quintupled in 50 years.

In the years 1850/1880 the annual population change was 0.7%, 1880/1910 -0.4% and 1910/1941 0.9%; thereafter, in the years 1941/1970 and 1970/2000, a significant change of 2.7% and 2.8%. At the end of 2011 the annual change in the population was 5.44% compared to 2010, which was the highest value in the canton of Zug .

At the end of 2011 the population density was 374.89 inhabitants per square kilometer.

The following graphic shows the development of the population from 1743–2015:

Population structure

On January 31, 2008, of the 8,714 inhabitants of the municipality, 4,558 were women and 4,156 men, on January 31, 2012, of the 10,005 inhabitants were 4,755 women and 5,250 men.

10% of the population of Risch is retired - this makes Risch one of the youngest communities in Switzerland and in the community ranking of the newspaper Weltwoche 2013 it ranks 6th.

At the beginning of 2008, 2,121 foreigners lived in the municipality, which corresponded to more than 20% of the average resident population. Thus, Risch was one of the most foreign populated communities in the canton of Zug . Most of the 1302 foreigners (551 annual residents) came from Germany , Serbia , Kosovo , Albania , Turkey and Italy (there is a partnership with the Italian village of Amaroni ). On December 31, 2012, 7,231 Swiss and 2,774 foreigners lived in the municipality of Risch; At the end of 2015, the proportion of foreigners was 26.6%.

The proportion of citizens of Risch in the population of the municipality of Risch was 45% in 1860, with the construction of the railway in 1880 the proportion fell to 28% and rose to 43% by 1900. A decline has been recorded since 1900; in 1980 the proportion was only around nine percent of the total population.

At the beginning of 2013, just under 55% of the residents of the community of Risch were Roman Catholic , around 13% were Protestant Reformed , around 18% had no denomination and around 15% belonged to another faith group (most of them Islam ). The Roman Catholic parish, the Evangelical Reformed parish and the Free Christian Community (FCG) are represented in the Risch parish.

Employment sectors and commuters

The bar graphs on the left show the employment sectors over the last few decades (each bar shows the primary sector on the left , the secondary sector in the middle and the tertiary sector on the right ). The table on the right lists the number of commuters up to 2000. Agriculture remained the most important labor sector until the middle of the 20th century . In 1850 around 75% of the Rischer worked in agriculture, in 1950 over 35%. Due to the economic rise of the municipality of Risch , this number fell to 2.3% in 2005, which was less than the national average of 5.4%. The number of commuters rose sharply due to new jobs and in 2005 exceeded that of outbound commuters by more than 25%. Due to a change in the survey modalities for the 2010 census, no more statements on commuter behavior at community level can be derived since 2010.

Logo and city marketing Risch Rotkreuz

Logo Risch Rotkreuz (2007-2013)

From November 24, 2007, the community will appear under the community slogan “Risch Rotkreuz - Agile living and working at the hub” . The reason for the combination of the place names Risch and Rotkreuz is to make the economic power of the municipality, especially through Rotkreuz, clearer. Often the name Risch only refers to the place Risch and not the entire municipality. The new appearance is not an official renaming of the municipality. The logo consists of the combined letter of the first letters of the places Risch and Rotkreuz. The names Risch Rotkreuz and Risch-Rotkreuz are not only used de facto by the municipal administration, but are also often used in newspaper articles and texts.

Logo (since 2013)

Since the name Risch Rotkreuz often led to problems of understanding, the municipal administration changed the logo again in 2013. Instead of Risch Rotkreuz it is now called the municipality of Risch again - the name Risch Rotkreuz is behind the r instead of the point.

Logo (until 2007)

The logo of the municipality of Risch, which was used until 2007, was a modern adaptation of the municipality's coat of arms. Each sub-town was represented by its own color in the coat of arms. Risch was represented by yellow in the background, red cross by light green of the grass, dark green of the Buonas tree and red of the lynx and the fruits of wooden houses. In addition to the logo, these colors were also used after the changeover on «community pillars», which can be found in all four localities.

Parish mergers

In 2005, a municipality merger of the municipalities of Meierskappel and Risch was planned, but this failed due to the vote with 56% no votes in Risch and the resistance of the Cantonal Administration of Lucerne. The special thing about this merger would have been the change of canton from the municipality of Meierskappel in Lucerne to the canton of Zug.

Partnerships

Rothkreuz (Weißensberg, Bavaria)

Because of many similarities, the municipality of Risch maintains a relationship with the Bavarian Swabian town of Rothkreuz in the municipality of Weißensberg . The contact exists through various events with associations from both communities. On March 29, 2009 the music societies Weißensberg and Risch-Rotkreuz were present together on the 850th anniversary of the community of Risch.

Amaroni (Calabria)

The municipality of Risch has a partnership with Amaroni (Calabria, Italy). In 2007, an association, Amici di Amaroni, was set up for the sponsorship to maintain contact between the residents and the communities. Various activities take place between the communities several times a year.

Economy and Infrastructure

Economy and Taxes

Novartis centralized its Swiss locations in Rotkreuz.

The economic rise of the municipality of Risch with the greatest growth spurts in trade and industry took place in the 1980s and the beginning of the 21st century. Due to the strong increase in population and the steadily falling taxes in the canton of Zug, many important companies with headquarters and branches have settled in the municipality, especially in Rotkreuz. Large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) together form more than 1,600 companies with over 1,000 commercial and service companies (as of 2007). The majority of the companies are located in the northern and eastern parts of Rotkreuz near the motorway, in the center of Rotkreuz and in the Langweid district that is currently under construction. Risch was an important part of Zug's rise to become an international financial and trading center. According to the British Guardian, the region is now one of the “main points of the global economy”.

The most important employer in the municipality is the headquarters of Roche Diagnostics and the Swiss sales company of Hoffmann-La Roche in Rotkreuz. Roche Diagnostics has greatly expanded its location to become the headquarters of the Roche Professional Diagnostics business unit and offered up to 1,700 jobs in 2012, which corresponds to a threefold increase within six years. With this number of employees, Roche Diagnostics is ahead of Siemens as the largest employer in the canton of Zug (excluding public administrations). Hoffmann-La Roche also operates an international training center at Buonas Castle , which the pharmaceutical company has owned since 1997. In 2013, another pharmaceutical company settled in the municipality of Novartis . In addition to centralizing the Swiss locations of Novartis Pharma, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals , Alcon and Consumer Health in Rotkreuz, the construction of a training center on Gut Aabach was planned; the project was canceled in 2014. Novartis is the eleventh largest employer in the canton of Zug. This created a regionally important pharmaceutical cluster and Rotkreuz became an important Swiss pharmaceutical location.

Other important international companies have their headquarters in Risch, such as AMC International or Renggli Laboratory Systems , important branch offices are operated by 3M , Bulthaup , ESA purchasing organization for the Swiss automotive and motor vehicle industry , Doppelmayr / Garaventa Group , Komax Holding , Müller drugstore , Panasonic , SFS Holding AG and others. As early as the Second World War , IPSA (Industrie petrolifère SA) opened the first Swiss oil refinery in Rotkreuz, as well as an extraction plant that made oil and heating material from coffee grounds. The feed mill Utro , which was shut down in 2000, was the first larger company in Rotkreuz . The Swiss youth magazine 4-Teens is based in Rotkreuz. The construction of a sales center for the German car manufacturer Porsche is being planned . The municipality of Risch counts as an energy city . In 2008, 7,783 people were employed in Risch; this number is estimated to be much higher for 2013. Risch is part of the Zug-West economic region and benefits from its location in the Zurich metropolitan region and membership in the Zurich Metropolitan Area Association .

Risch also benefited from the business-friendly tax policy of the canton of Zug in the 20th century and today, thanks to the low tax rate, has one of the highest quality locations for companies in Switzerland. The tax burden is around half of the Swiss average, and the national income per capita is among the highest in Switzerland. In 2010, the gross domestic product per capita in the canton of Zug was estimated at CHF 100,000  . The tax burden of the municipality of Risch was 63% of the simple tax in 2015, that of the canton of Zug was 82%. In the previous year, the municipality of Risch had tax income of CHF 33,615,942. In the community ranking of the newspaper Weltwoche , the community of Risch was ninth in Switzerland in 2010, third in 2013 behind the neighboring communities of Zug and Hünenberg, and fourth in 2014.

traffic

Transport network in Risch Rotkreuz

In the history of the municipality of Risch , the area was a regional crossroads between Zurich , Zug and Lucerne and developed into an important traffic junction between the Alps , the Aargau Central Plateau and Germany and Italy from the middle of the 19th century .

Road traffic

Until the construction of the national highways in the 1970s / 80s, wooden houses were the central place where the streets from Basel towards Gotthard and Italy, as well as Zurich and Zug to Lucerne crossed. With the construction of the Swiss national road network , the municipality of Risch was connected to the motorway network. In autumn 1974, the N4 from Cham to Holzhäusern and the N14 from Holzhäusern to Root with the 415 m high Reuss bridge were opened. The second section of the N4 Rotkreuz – Schwyz was opened to traffic in 1981. The three motorway sections intersect in the Rütihof motorway junction . There is a connection to the motorway at exit 35 - Rotkreuz . Due to these buildings, the traffic on the cantonal roads decreased.

In addition to the autobahn, the community is accessible through Hauptstrasse 4 via Lucerne , Zug , Zurich , Schaffhausen and Hauptstrasse 368 from Sins AG to Küssnacht SZ . In the center of Rotkreuz, the side road branches off to Meierskappel , as does the historically important road to Berchtwil and Hünenberg . Buonas is accessible through the historic country road to Cham, which is now used as a cycle path, and through the communal road connection to Rotkreuz. In 1969 the western Rotkreuz bypass (Hauptstrasse 4) was opened, in 1982 the plans for an eastern bypass were canceled. The construction of an eastern bypass from Rotkreuz further outside is planned as Kantonsstrasse X. The idea of ​​bypassing Risch was discarded. All sub-locations can be reached by car.

Public transport (train, bus and boat)

The municipality of Risch plays an important role in rail transport. The history of railway construction in Risch begins with the construction of the Rotkreuz station by Jakob Friedrich Wanner in 1864, at which the Aargau Southern Railway , the Gotthard Railway and the Zug – Lucerne railway intersect to this day. In 1972 a larger train station was opened in Rotkreuz. With it and the adjacent marshalling yard , Rotkreuz is an important hub as a collection and distribution point in Central Switzerland and has direct transport connections to the most important marshalling yards in German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino . The expansion of the routes to Cham and Rotsee as part of the Bahn 2000 is under construction . From 2017, after a seven-year break, the train station will be reconnected to Milan via long-distance traffic . It is questionable whether the NEAT's original plans to connect Rotkreuz as an underground station on the Zurich - Gotthard Base Tunnel railway line will ever be realized . In local transport, the train station plays an important role thanks to its function as a junction between the Zug , Lucerne and Aargau S-Bahns . In 2014, 3,665,000 passengers traveled on the Rotkreuz - Cham - Zug corridor and 1,038,000 on the Oberrüti - Rotkreuz - Immensee corridor. Four bus routes operated by the Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (ZVB) and two post bus routes run through the community . In 2014, a total of 1,016,000 passengers got on or off buses at the Rotkreuz hub. In 1925 the Risch / Meierskappel station was opened on the Gotthard Railway, which was shut down in 2003.

The municipality of Risch has been part of the Zug tariff association (TVZG) since 1992 , one of the first tariff associations in Switzerland. Since the reorganization of the tariff zones in 2012, the municipality of Risch has been located in zone 621 of the TVZG and the roof tariff network for the Zurich Economic Area (TVWZ) of the expanded Zurich transport network . Due to its south-westerly location in TVZG and TVWZ, the municipality of Risch borders on zones of the Schwyz tariff association (TVSZ) (zone 676) and the A-Welle tariff association (TVA) (zone 535), both also part of the TVWZ. Rotkreuz is also at the intersection with the Passepartout tariff network (TVLU) in its zone 402. The TVZG and TVWZ tariff area includes all SBB train connections , all ZVB bus connections and the post bus line 78 to Breitfeld, and the post bus lines 78 and 110 for the TVLU.

As early as 1423, when Buonas sailed, shipping traffic on Lake Zug was proven. With the opening of steam shipping on Lake Zug on June 13, 1852, ship landing stages were opened in Buonas and Risch. Today the Zugersee Schifffahrt AG operates connections to Zug , Cham and Arth . The ships operate from spring to autumn; specialty courses for wine tastings, weddings and other attractions are held on weekends. Shipping on Lake Zug is not part of the Zug TVZG tariff association. There is a public boat harbor in Risch. The plan to build a canal from Immensee to Küssnacht SZ to Lake Lucerne was rejected in the 1980s.

In the bailiwick of Gangolfswil and the later municipality of Risch there was a trip ( ferry ) over the Reuss near Berchtwil to Eien near Oberrüti until May 5, 1905 .

Slow traffic

As a result of the founding of SwitzerlandMobility , in addition to the Swiss cycle route 9 ( lakes route ), cycle route 77 ( Rigi-Reuss-Klettgau ) has also been running through the municipality since 2008 . Route 9 runs from Honau on the main road to Rotkreuz and Buonas, then on the old country road to Cham and Zug. Route 77 runs from Meierskappel via Ibikon and Küntwil to Rotkreuz and on to Berchtwil and the Reuss . Furthermore, the cycle route runs around Lake Zug from Arth via Risch, Buonas and Cham. Cycle route 99 ( heart route ) from Lausanne and Willisau to Zug runs north of Berchtwil along the municipal boundary . In addition to the main routes, there is a dense network of bicycles that has been expanded over a length of 24.5 kilometers.

Walking and hiking is possible on many of the community's trails; The long-distance hiking trails include the Alpine Panorama Trail (national hiking trail No. 3) , the Vindonissa and Rhine Falls star trails and the ViaGottardo cultural trail . In addition to these, there is a dense network of walking and local hiking trails over a length of 38.8 kilometers.

education

The more recent history of the school system in the municipality of Risch began with the construction of a classroom in Risch in 1852. At that time, the wooden houses schoolhouse was built in which classes are still taught today. On October 27, 1879, Josef Anton Nier started school in the Rotkreuzhof with 51 children. In 1883 the first school building was opened in Rotkreuz. This building was used from 1959 to 1986 as the parish chancellery, later until 2005 as the rectorate of the Rischer schools and today as a toy library . From 1933 to 2007, the Rotkreuz / Waldegg school complex was expanded by a total of nine buildings. In 2011, 570 primary school students attended the Risch Rotkreuz public schools .

Thus, the municipality of Risch now has a large (public) primary school in Rotkreuz, two more in wooden houses and Risch, as well as a secondary and secondary school in the Waldegg school complex in Rotkreuz. A lunch menu has existed since 2007.

Since summer 2012, the Suurstoffi in the Langweid quarter has housed the SIS Swiss International School .

Rotkreuz has three public kindergartens in Waldegg, Langmatt and in Binzmühle.

High school students can attend either the Cantonal School Zug , the Cantonal High School Menzingen or the (private) High School Immensee. The construction of a new canton school in the Ennetsee was planned. However, this was rejected by the electorate on February 10, 2019. Other private educational institutions in the area are the International School of Zug and the Montana private high school on the Zugerberg . The Rotkreuz school complex has a school and community library , a music school and a toy library .

Since the autumn semester of 2016, the IT department of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences has been located in Rotkreuz on the Suurstoffi site. In 2019 a new study center is to be opened in a new building at the western end of the area. Apartments are also planned for students.

Architecture and townscape

Place and landscape

Historically, the village of Risch is a typical church hamlet. To this day, the town center consists of the parish church of St. Verena Risch , four beneficiaries and a chaplain’s house (later converted into a school house). From the beginning of the 20th century, the former courtyard of the parish was converted into the Kurhaus and later the Hotel Waldheim . The rest of the place developed through modern new buildings to a scattered settlement , which extends to Oberrisch and Gut Aabach . Also wooden houses was considered Kirchweiler and existed until the mid-19th century only from the chapel of St. Wendelin , a community and clubhouse (canceled), a poorhouse and orphanage (now "Bürgerhof") and individual farms. With the construction of the main roads Zug – Lucerne and Sins – Küssnacht, construction activity increased. Today the townscape has become unrecognizable due to modern road and high-rise buildings. The village center of Buona consists of an inn ("Zum Wilden Mann") near the ship station, the St. Germanus chapel with the stately "Luthigerhaus" and the "Dienstbotenhaus" and other farmhouses along the road to Dersbach. After the Second World War, a modern single-family house district developed above the old ensemble into Buonas. In Rotkreuz , construction began only with the opening of the train station in 1864, as a result of which the houses in the new village consisted of two-storey buildings with eaves accentuated roofs with a classical, flatter slope. These buildings were later largely changed and have been replaced by large-format new buildings in the last few decades, most recently through the renovation of the Rotkeuz town center in 2009–2013. The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Reformed Church are located south of the village center . With the relocation of the station, a modern, urban center developed south of the railway line in the 1980s. The historical building stock has almost completely disappeared, also in the other parts of today's small town of Rotkreuz. North of the railway line, new quarters and high-rise buildings dominate the picture. There are still some farms and individual historical buildings to be found.

The shore of Lake Zug in the municipality of Risch is part of the BLN property 1309 «Lake Zug» landscape. On the road from Rotkreuz to Meierskappel are the vines of the Rischer Wein .

St. Germanus in Buonas

Our Lady of the Rosary with cemetery, garden and burial house in Rotkreuz

The parish church of St. Verena in Risch is the oldest church in the municipality and one of the oldest in the canton of Zug. It stands on a hill overhanging Lake Zug and forms the center of the village of Risch. It belongs to the parish of Risch and was first mentioned in 1159 in the Acta Murensia as the church of Rische . A first church can be found on the 8th / 9th Century, a second ( Carolingian church ) as well. In the 12./13. A Roman church is proven. Other changes followed. The current church dates from 1680–1684. It was consecrated on October 22, 1684 in honor of St. Verena . In 1815 the painter Niklaus Bütler composed the organ prospectus. Further restorations followed. The tower dates back to 1310. Next to the church there is an ossuary , which is used today as a cemetery chapel and was first mentioned in 1598. The cemetery includes the baroque church and takes over its floor plan in an enlarged form. On the east side in the church axis is the white marble, neo-Gothic grave of the von Kleist-von Gonzenbach family from 1918. On the north side of the cemetery on the church wall is Ernst Göhner's bronze tomb from 1972 after Otto Münch .

The St. Germanus chapel in Buonas stands above the boat station and the inn on the gentle slope of the bank. In their place were chapels in 1553 and 1598, before the current building was largely completed around 1635. Johann Martin Schwytzer, court lord of Buonas , made various new acquisitions from 1658 and the chapel was consecrated on October 5, 1662. In 1889 a major renovation was carried out by Dagobert Keizer senior. , In 1939 the roof structure was repaired and the interior renovated. The chapel was restored in 1992/93.

The St. Wendelin Chapel in wooden houses forms the center of the village, is located at the intersection of the streets to Lucerne, Zurich, Buonas and Hünenberg and forms an assembly with the buildings of the Wendelinhof (until 1980 also the Gasthaus Engel, which was demolished). It is a simple classical chapel. The church was completed in 1647, consecrated in 1648 and only consecrated in honor of St. Wendelin on October 22, 1684, on the same day as the parish church of St. Verena . A school and beneficiary house was built on the property in 1771. In 1823 the old chapel was demolished in order, after some building complications, to build a new one, which was consecrated in 1824. The current tower dates back to 1871. In 1904 and 1939 the church was renovated. In 1970 there was a threat of demolition due to the planned expansion of the intersection. In 1986 the chapel was restored and renovated in 1996 due to damage to the real dry rot.

The parish church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Rotkreuz is a closed structure, which, with a flat gable roof and small granite blocks, is reminiscent of neo-Romanesque building forms. The church stands on a hill and, in contrast to the churches in Risch, Buonas and Holzhäuser, faces west. On the north side there is a tower with arched sound windows and a gently sloping pyramid roof. Since the interior renovation carried out in 1981, pictures by Franz Bucher have shaped the interior. In 1926 the «Rotkreuz Catholic Cultural Association» was founded with the aim of building a church in the newly grown settlement. In 1935/36 the cemetery and morgue were built. Construction of the church began in autumn 1937, the bell was consecrated on July 17, 1938. The church was consecrated on September 25, 1938 by Bishop Franziskus von Streng in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Joseph and Blessed Burkard von Beinwil . In 2007 a new morgue was built.

To the west of the Catholic Church is the Reformed Church , which was built from 1968–1970 based on designs by Benedikt Huber . The church was consecrated on May 16, 1971.

There are chapels in Berchtwil and Ibikon . There are also some wayside crosses and wayside shrines .

Castles, palaces and manors

Old Buonas Castle with the Zugerhaus in the foreground

Freudenberg Castle

The (old) Buonas Castle is located on the castle peninsula between Buonas and Risch, under the Chilchberg. The palace and park are privately owned by F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG . A castle originally stood on the site, the construction of which is dated back to the 11th century. In the 17th century, moats and walls were removed and the castle became a castle. In front of the castle is the castle square with a farmhouse and a fountain. Carl August von Gonzenbach-Escher laid out the spacious castle park with numerous buildings, a landscaped landscape around the New Castle, the historic network of paths and tree and plant gardens , based on the plans of William Wilkinson and Adolf Nabholz from 1873 to 1877 . The gatehouses were also built at this time. In 2001 a training center for the Hoffmann-La Roche company was built in the castle grounds. The park is open to visitors twice a year.

The New Buonas Castle was built by William Wilkinson when the castle park was laid out. The "villa" was built in the neo-Gothic style. Projections and recesses of the facades, different gables and roof shapes, attached bay windows and verandas, high chimneys and different window shapes created a picturesque overall picture. In 1970 the New Palace, which was considered the main work of secular neo-Gothic in Switzerland, was demolished and replaced by a modern-style villa. The Federal Commission for the Preservation of Monuments and in particular Paul Hofer from the ETH Zurich show great resistance to this day. Original plans of the New Palace are considered lost. Many components of the New Palace were re-installed in the New Teufen Palace in 1978 .

The Freudenberg Castle , originally planned as a country house, was built 1929-1933 according to the plans of the English architect Howard Robertson . It stands near Dersbach on a knoll behind a forest with a clear view of Lake Zug . The palace is modeled on the French Palace of Versailles and is now privately owned. There is a park and gardens around the castle. The castle can be seen from Seebad Zweiern. Margaret Thatcher was the guest of Lady Glover on the estate for a summer vacation and planted a tree here with the help of Russell Page. The German architect Hans Kollhoff ran a studio in the garden house .

Gut Aabach is located in the south of the community . The former upper-class country estate was founded in 1929 by Dr. Karl Langer acquired. He had a villa built with ancillary buildings and a spacious park close to the landscape. In 1950 the property was acquired by Ernst Göhner and expanded. The Baroque mansion with a mansard roof was built according to plans by Karl Koller on the highest point of the property. The house was rebuilt in 1960 and 1968. A castle-like, axially symmetrical entrance front with a courtyard characterizes the front. Behind the building, in front of the library windows, there is a rose garden . A bathhouse and a staff house were built in 1931 in the spirit of the New Building . The property also includes other buildings, including a gardener's house, a boat house and a farmhouse. There are plans to demolish the old villa on the estate and build a Novartis training center.

Private buildings and public buildings

In addition to churches, chapels, castles and country estates, some typical regional farmhouses are part of the list of cultural assets in Risch . As important historical secular buildings are in Risch the Kaplanen- and schoolhouse , which Sigristen-Pfrundhaus and the Hotel Waldheim to name, in Upper Risch The new house , in Buonas the inn for Wilden Mann , the Luthigerhaus , the servants house , the house Rossli , the Seehof with cheese dairy and the local museum .

The rifle house was demolished in 1962, the Gasthaus Engel in 1980 due to road construction. In Rotkreuz, the following private buildings are considered to be historically valuable: The chalets in the local style Binzmühlestrasse 2 & 4 ; the milk processing cooperative , today Landi, the structure of which has been disfigured by additions; the Waldhof ; the Rotkreuzhof ; as well as the buildings of the former branch of the Sauer- und Hydrogenwerke Luzern , of which the warehouse I and the warehouse II were renovated through the construction of the Suurstoffi district, the residential building, the hall, the wood shed and the compressor were demolished in 2008. The Gasthaus Kreuz, which opened in 1810 (burned down and rebuilt in 1989), was converted into an office building and disfigured in 2012. In Küntwil, the house with a sawmill is considered to be of historical value, in Waldeten a farm with a semi-detached house and a house.

Outside the villages, various groups of courtyards and individual courtyards form a historical ensemble: The homestead in the Alznach; a house in Auleten; a timber - Ständerbau in Upper Bachtalen; including Stuberhof, Schultheissenhof, Wagnerhof a semi-detached house and a residential building in Berchtwil; Mill, main building and south extension of Binzmühle, demolition of the remise is planned; Residential building in the Bodenhof; Upper widths ; a house in Breitfeld; a house and Stuberhof in Dersbach; Residential house as a late medieval log building on the Feldhof; a house in Ober Freudenberg; Dense building group with residential houses in Unter Freudenberg; a house on the Haldenhof; among others Oberhof , Kapelle , Unterhof in Ibikon; Katrinenhof (converted into the golf course clubhouse); a house in Moos; a house in Neuhaus; a house on the Rütihof; Schlumpfenhof; a house in Steintobel; three houses in the Stockeri; a house in Walshüsli; and a picturesque group of buildings, including Jesuitenhof in Zweiern.

The Dorfmatt center , which opened in 1986, forms the core of the new municipality of Risch. The original plan for a closed downtown complex with the extension of the train station and the retirement home was never realized. In the hall Dorfmatt repeatedly national and international personalities occur, such as the American gospel group Golden Gate Quartet , the Swiss pop band plush and the Swiss rapper Stress .

The Rotkreuz school complex was expanded in various stages in 1987, 1998, 2002 and 2005 by architects such as Ammann and Baumann and Jauch-Stolz .

In 2011, the Roche Tower was opened at the Roche Diagnostics headquarters. Until the Park Tower in Zug is completed, it will be the tallest building in the Canton of Zug . The remaining buildings on the Roche site, built in the modern style, are also considered architecturally worth seeing.

More buildings

The adventure tree in the Sijentalwald in Rotkreuz was opened as a natural construction in 2000 . It consisted of a frame made of wood, which was built around a fir tree. On each floor of the adventure tree there were information boards about different tree sections. The view of Zugerland and Lake Zug was made possible from the top floor . It was demolished due to rotten wood, but rebuilding is planned.
