geography

The villages of Salen and Reutenen as well as numerous hamlets, u. a. Götschenhäusli, Sassenloo and Uhwilen are located on a slightly sloping plateau on the ridge south of Steckborn.

history

The two villages were first mentioned in 1272 as Sala and 1634 as Rütinen . In the late Middle Ages , the monasteries Feldbach (Sassenloo, Tägermoos and Uhwilen) and Reichenau as well as the Kreuzlingen monastery were the most important landlords in Salen-Reutenen. The Feldbach monastery also owned the lower court at the aforementioned courts . As so-called high courts, Salen and some houses in Reutenen were directly subordinate to the Thurgau governor, while Hinter-Reutenen belonged partly to the Klingenberg rule and partly to the Feldbach court.

Church-wise, Salen-Reutenen (apart from Götschenhäusli and Hinter-Reutenen) shared the fate of the Steckborn parish, but after the Reformation it formed a kind of Catholic refuge in the reformed Steckborn. In 1862 the Catholics in Reutenen built the St. Antonius Chapel.

In Salen and Reutenen, arable and fruit growing as well as cattle breeding has always been practiced; some weaving in the 19th century. Agriculture also shaped the character of the villages at the beginning of the 21st century.
