history
The Lords of Schlatt originally belonged to the baron class before they descended to become ministerials of the Counts of Kyburg , whose banner they were.
A deed of gift to the St. Gallen Abbey already mentions the place Slâte in 754 (Alemannic for reeds, subsidence or swampy forest). Baron Hesso von Slâte documented it in 1094 . Albrecht von Schlatt appears by name in 1180. The Lords of Schlatt administered this village in monastic ownership and lived in the castle above the church until 1361. The church is mentioned in 1241 as the property of the knight Konrad von Schlatt. Perhaps Konrad's son or grandson was the knight Konrad von Schlatt, the 1289 one of Austria lehenbaren farm to Dickbuch in favor of the monastery Töss aufsandte. That Konrad appeared in 1300 together with knight Heinrich von Schlatt as a witness to a letter issued by the district judge in Aargau . Heinrich von Schlatt donated a farm and associated goods to Wettingen Abbey in 1301, which his son Werner renounced.
In the " night of murder of Zurich " in the years 1336 to 1355 called feud John lost Schlatt his partisanship for the Zurich patrician with death by the wheel , and in 1407 was Burkhard Schlatt citizens of Zurich . The middle-class Schlatter family in Zurich may be his descendants.
The current coat of arms of Schlatt goes back to the barons of Schlatt: in silver, a blue double-headed eagle with red fangs.
