Rohrdorf is a former political municipality in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland . It existed from 1805 to 1854 and was a temporary amalgamation of the villages of Busslingen , Niederrohrdorf , Oberrohrdorf , Remetschwil and Staretschwil .

history

The much larger office Rohrdorf (almost congruent with the parish Rohrdorf ) was initially a Habsburg administrative unit and from 1415 belonged to the County of Baden , a common rule of the Confederates . After the founding of the Helvetic Republic in 1798, the three communities Niederrohrdorf (with Staretschwil), Oberrohrdorf (with Busslingen) and Remetschwil emerged in the short-lived canton of Baden . This situation initially remained unchanged in 1803 after the canton of Aargau was founded.

A year later, the Holzrüti, Sennhof and Vogelrüti farms were not yet assigned to a municipality, which is why the residents there had to buy into the local citizenship rights of a municipality. On the advice of District Administrator Johann Ludwig Baldinger and Justice of the Peace Johann Vogler, Vogelrüti Niederrohrdorf joined the Sennhof Remetschwil. The residents of Holzrüti asked on December 29, 1804 to be allowed to found their own political community. The cantonal government rejected the request, whereupon Niederrohrdorf offered the timber rangers local citizenship on favorable terms. Three days before, Baldinger wrote to the government that he had a letter stating that the villages of Busslingen, Niederrohrdorf, Oberrohrdorf, Staretschwil and Remetschwil would like to merge together with the farms to form a large municipality of Rohrdorf. The corresponding document was available to the government on January 5, 1805, whereupon the government ratified the association two days later. The exact circumstances of the merger are unclear, as the sources do not describe the process in detail. Baldinger and Vogler presumably had made some decisions autocratically and disregarded the democratic right of co-determination.

The five parts of the community each sent a representative to the local council, whose meetings were held in the “zum Roten Löwen” inn in Oberrohrdorf. There was no community assembly or central administration for the whole community, but local community assemblies for the five villages, which continued to enjoy a high degree of autonomy. The cooperation did not work smoothly in organizational and financial matters. The residents of the community complained repeatedly that their concerns received too little support from local councils in the other villages.

There have been repeated efforts by the village communities to separate the Rohrdorf community again. The cantonal government rejected such requests in 1813, 1816, 1832, 1842 and 1850. Remetschwil was the driving force behind all the requests, while Staretschwil and Busslingen mostly did not support them. In 1853 all the villages except Staretschwil supported another request for separation, in which the merger was described as an undemocratic act by the district official at the time. The Grand Council passed the request on to the government, which again rejected it. Dissatisfied with this decision, the legislature set up a commission. In March 1854 this recommended the division of Rohrdorf into two or three communities. After the Grand Council approved this recommendation, the government had no choice but to approve the separation. On May 22, 1854, the separation decree came into force and three new communities were created: Niederrohrdorf, Oberrohrdorf (with Staretschwil) and Remetschwil (with Busslingen).
