In 972, Siebnen was first mentioned in documents from the Einsiedeln monastery . Buttikon is named as Butinchouen in 1045, the Schänis monastery owns large estates in the area. Only in 1184 is the village of Schübelbach in the document of Pope Lucius III. mentioned as Subelnebach . In the middle of the 19th century, Yenish families were naturalized on the basis of the law to combat homelessness . Schübelbach used to be on the Tuggnersee . This lake was firmly connected to Lake Zurich and Lake Walen , but today it is silted up. So it happened that the people of Schübelbach, who previously did not have their own church , had to take the ship to Tuggen to attend church services.
