geography
The village (424 m above sea level) is located on the southern slope of the Cholfirst in the Zürcher Weinland . The municipality of Trüllikon also includes the two districts Trüllikon and Wildensbuch . In the north Rudolfingen borders on Wildensbuch, in the east on Trüllikon, in the south on Oerlingen (municipality of Kleinandelfingen ) and in the west on the municipal offices of Marthalen and Benken .
Rudolfingen is still a closed arable farming settlement today with viticulture on the slopes and arable farming on the plain.
history
On the Schlossberg near Rudolfingen there is evidence of a Neolithic settlement with pit houses and a rampart from the Bronze Age (beginning 1000 BC). Manors on the Cholfirst are documented from Roman times . Alemanni colonized the region after the final Roman retreat in 454.
Thanks to a donation from the Alemannic nobleman Wolvene, the three places of today's municipality were first mentioned in documents in 858: the Rheinau monastery received property in Ruadolvinga , Trullinchiva and Willigisbuoh . Rudolfingen got its name as a settlement of the people of a Rudolf. Rudolfingen was later sold to the Reichenau Abbey and then to the St. Katharinental Monastery , while Trüllikon and Wildensbuch remained with the Rheinau Monastery. Until 1798 Rudolfingen formed its own, lower judiciary with a village court from the villagers, after this existed until the early 15th century with Basadingen , five kilometers away . The high level of jurisdiction lay with the Landvogtei Kyburg , which increasingly interfered with the judicial rights of the monastery. With the takeover of the county in 1452, the rights came to the city of Zurich .
In the Middle Ages , the residents of the village lived in church to Laufen and since 1529 to Trüllikon.
Until 1798 Rudolfingen belonged to the extra office of the Landvogtei. With the formation of political communities as a product of the Helvetic Republic , the community came from the Benken district to the Winterthur district and in 1831 to the Andelfingen district. The three places each formed their own civil parish . For Rudolfingen this applied until 2007, for the other two districts until it was abolished by the new cantonal constitution in 2010.
