history

According to a bischöflich- fürstäbtischen border treaty from the year 854, in which Rocconwilare is mentioned first documented, came Roggwil 854 to the Bishop of Constance , the jurisdiction of the mid-13th century as a hereditary fief of the of Hagenwil ceded. In 1264 the courts of Hagenwil and Roggwil came to the prince abbey of St. Gallen , which in 1364 enfeoffed the von Breitenlandenberg (1432 opening ) and from 1513 to 1684 that of Bernhausen and took over jurisdiction from 1685 to 1798 itself. Around 1420, the Mötteli von Rappenstein acquired the tower, which they expanded into a castle, which served as a patio from 1517 to 1798 . In 1578 the castle was inherited by the Studer von Winkelbach, in 1650 by the von Bernhausen family, and from 1740 to 1805 it was owned by the monastery.

In the second third of the 19th century, the two primary school communities Roggwil and Freidorf-Watt emerged. In 1860 the hamlets of Ballen and Lengwil were separated from the local and municipal parishes of Roggwil and assigned to the municipality of Egnach . In 1870, the unified municipality of Roggwil was created from the local and municipal parishes formed in 1803 and territorially congruent .

Around 900 Roggwil was part of the parish or parish of Arbon , to which the Roggwil Catholics still belonged at the beginning of the 21st century. In 1746 the reformed parish was detached, including a church building. In 1870 78%, in 1910 71% and in 2000 51% of the community population were Reformed. Until the construction of the St. Otmar Church in Roggwil in 1963, Catholics attended church services in Arbon and Berg .

In addition to the three-part farming, vegetables, flax and fruit were grown, and cattle and dairy farming was increased from the 19th century onwards. In 1900 seven cheese dairies are recorded. There were five mills and two sawmills in the municipality, as well as embroidery around 1900, most of which had ceased operations in 1923. In 1963 Alfred Vogel founded Bioforce AG, a producer of phytotherapeutics. Thanks to its convenient location, there was a brisk residential construction activity in 1980. In 2005 agriculture provided 18% and the second economic factor 46% of the jobs in the municipality.
