geography

Reformed Church in Schlatt

The community lies between Frauenfeld and Schaffhausen in Schlattertal on the eastern slope of the Cholfirst . It is the westernmost municipality in the canton of Thurgau and borders the area of ​​the canton of Zurich. The local community of Mett-Oberschlatt and the local community of Unterschlatt form a spatial and cultural-historical unit. It was restored in 1999 through the merger of the two local parishes after the old Schlatt had been divided up at the beginning of the 19th century.

In addition to the village of Unterschlatt, the former community of Unterschlatt includes the districts of Dickihof in the south-east, Altparadies with the former Paradies monastery and the industrial estate Neuparadies, which emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries . The former local community Mett-Oberschlatt was made up of the districts Mettschlatt, Oberschlatt and Fallentor.

The former gravel pit in the Gishalde is now used as a training track for off-road vehicles.

Schlatt has an international border with the exclave Büsingen am Hochrhein (Germany).

Dickihof

Dickihof

A burial mound suggests that the hamlet of Dickihof was probably inhabited as early as the Hallstatt period. The settlement is described as belonging to the Ittingen Charterhouse in 1162 , and the church prince Ticchi is said to have resided in this place. This rural hamlet , the oldest structure of which probably dates back to the 18th century, is still roughly the same today as on the Siegfried map from 1883. The hamlet of Dickihof is listed in the inventory of places worthy of protection in Switzerland .
