The village of Risch

The place Risch [ ˈriːʃ ] is located on Lake Zug in the municipality of the same name in the Swiss canton of Zug . Risch is the smallest of the four villages in the municipality of Risch. In 1798, Risch gave its name to the new community, which emerged from the rule of Buona and the bailiwick of Gangolfswil . The municipal administration of the municipality of Risch was never in Risch, but until 1959 in Buonas and then in the economically more important Rotkreuz , which is the main town of the municipality. On December 31, 2012, the village of Risch had 482 inhabitants.

The place

The place Risch is the southeasternmost place of the municipality and extends from the headland Buona to the southern municipality border on the Aabach. The actual village of Risch is located in the northern part between the Chilchbergwald and Lake Zug. The church of St. Verena , the school, the Hotel Wildenmann, the boat harbor and the Roche training center are located here . The southern part of Risch, which is known as Oberrisch, has only grown since 1990 and extends along the shores of Lake Zug. To the south, Oberrisch is closed by the Gut Aabach , which is owned by Daniel Vasella and Novartis . A Novartis forum based on the Roche forum is to be built on this property by 2014, which is intended to train management staff. The main road 368 runs through Risch from Sins to Küssnacht SZ . The Meierskappel-Risch station, which is located in the Stockeri , has not been in operation since 1999. The planned Risch bypass was not implemented.

history

archeology

In Oberrisch and Aabach, which are slightly south of the actual village, the remains of a Neolithic lakeside settlement of the Pfyn culture were excavated between 1995 and 1997 ; a culture layer up to 10 cm thick covered 1300 piles and extensive finds such as ceramics, casting crucibles, stone tools, tissue, etc. Dendrodatings point to the time around 3700 BC. On the Chilchberg there is an L-shaped row of stones, 240 or 60 m in length, which was repaired in 2004 and consists of around 210 larger and smaller stone blocks. Its original purpose eludes any conclusive interpretation. There is no documented archaeological evidence, the time of origin is unknown. During the repair, ceramic parts from the 17th / 18th centuries were also used. Century found.

Etymology, Middle Ages and Modern Times

The place name Risch, as a term for Riedland , is related to celtic rusco and Latin ruscus (for sedge or bulrush; besides Risch also Rusch called) and refers to the marsh plants in the marsh country like reeds , sedge and quaking grass . Pope Hadrian IV. Mentioned the Risch church as ecclesia Rishe in a letter of protection from the Muri monastery of March 28, 1159 , which is the first time it is mentioned in a document. Around 1298, the right of patronage changed from the Muri monastery to the von Hertenstein family , who lived in Hertenstein Castle (today Buonas Castle) and remained in existence until 1798. Despite numerous conflicts between the city ​​of Zug , which was transferred to the bailiwick of Gangolfswil , and the Lords of Herteinstein , Risch never came under the rule of Zug. Due to the military intervention of France in 1798, which eliminated the subordinate relationships, and which merged the Bailiwick of Gangolfswil and the rule of Buona to form the (today's) political municipality of Risch , the parish of Risch not only gave its name to the newly formed municipality, but also received its own local law. However, since 1798, Risch has never been considered the capital of the municipality, as the municipal council and chancellery always met or were in Buonas or Rotkreuz .

Church of St. Verena

The Church of St. Verena is the most important and oldest church in the municipality of Risch. In 1978 archaeological investigations were carried out on the church and the other churches were discovered. Since these are located in a lower position under today's church, they are accessible. Based on the follow-up investigation from 2005, the following construction sequence results:

Annex I (Carolingian Church), 8./9. Century

There were fourteen graves in this first church. This church consisted of a rectangular hall and a recessed, just closed choir.

Annex II, 8./9. Century

Like its predecessor, this church also consisted of a rectangular hall and a recessed, closed choir. However, this church was made of stone and already had side entrances.

Annex III (Romanesque Church), 12./13. Century

This church, with new masonry, largely took over the floor plan of its predecessor, but with a more spacious altar house.

Annex IV / V (enlargement and tower construction) and VI / VII (late medieval-early modern changes), end of 13. – 15. Century

The tower of the church was built after 1288 (Appendix IV). It is not clear whether the extension of the ship (Annex V) took place in the same train. As a result of the expansion, another altar house to the south (Annex VI) and an ossuary (Annex VII) were built.

Appendix VII, 1680-1684

In the period from 1680 to 1684 the present church was built using the old tower. In this church you can still see older building remains.

After the restoration in 1979/1980, after the archaeological investigations, the church was furnished almost the same as the church before the renovation.
