Schmiedrued ( Swiss German : ˈʃmɪdˌruəd ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Kulm district , is located in the upper Ruedertal and borders the canton of Lucerne . The unofficial name of the community is Schmiedrued-Walde .

geography

The community is located in the upper part of the Ruedertal, through which the Ruederche flows. The valley floor is very narrow throughout and barely more than 50 meters wide. While the valley is limited in the lower part by steep hillsides, the adjacent hills in the upper area gradually become flatter. The eastern border to the Wynental is formed by a range of hills that gradually merges into a long flat, an average of 700 meters high. To the west, towards the Suhrental , the terrain is much steeper, but also has numerous small plateaus.

Schmiedrued is a scattered settlement and consists of several villages and hamlets. In the valley floor (seen from the north) are Schmiedrued ( 569  m above sea level ), Walde ( 607  m above sea level ) and Schiltwald ( 650  m above sea level ). To the west of Schmiedrued are the hamlets of Eggschwil ( 604  m above sea level ) and Lören ( 611  m above sea level ), and even further to the south-west are the hamlets of Hochrüti ( 678  m above sea level ) and Usefuliweid ( 693  m above sea level). ). Bodenrüti ( 656  m above sea level ) lies west of Walde, and the hamlet of Rehhag ( 710  m above sea level ) southeast of Schiltwald . The largest settlement with almost half of the population is Walde.

The area of ​​the municipality is 865 hectares , of which 238 hectares are forested and 77 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 810 meters on the Fuchshubel on the canton border, the lowest at 527 meters on the Ruederche. Neighboring communities are Moosleerau and Kirchleerau in the west, Schlossrued in the northwest, Oberkulm in the north, Gontenschwil in the east and the Lucerne communities Rickenbach in the southeast, Schlierbach in the south and Triengen in the southwest.

history

The Ruedertal was settled in the 5th and 6th centuries by the Alemanni , who cleared the dense jungle . In 1160 the "Lords of Ruoda" were first mentioned in the Acta Murensia of the Muri monastery . The place name is derived from the Old High German (ze) Ruoderahu , which means "near the Ruderbach"; a body of water that can be crossed by rowing. The Lords of Rued were a ministerial family of the Counts of Kyburg , from 1273 of the Habsburgs . Their headquarters, Schloss Rued , was in the neighboring village of Schlossrued.

In 1415 the confederates conquered Aargau. Schmiedrued now belonged to the subject area of ​​the city of Bern , the so-called Berner Aargau . The lower jurisdiction was owned by various noble families from the surrounding area. Finally, the Rued estate, which in addition to the Ruedertal also included the villages of Kirchleerau and Moosleerau , was acquired by the Lords of May, who originally came from Italy . From 1430 to 1915 there was a hammer forge , to which the community owes its second syllable in its name. In 1528 the Bernese introduced the Reformation .

In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Since then, Schlossrued has belonged to the canton of Aargau, but it was not until 1834 that the May sold their last remaining rights to the canton. In 1816 the Ruedertal was divided into the communities Schmiedrued and Schlossrued . Schmiedrued initially consisted of the semi-autonomous local citizenships Matt, Schmiedrued, Schiltwald and Walde, which only merged in 1861 due to financial problems into a single local citizenship congruent with the community. Agriculture shaped the life of the community well into the 20th century , and silk ribbon weaving was also done at home until the mid-1970s .

In 1953 there was a stylistic improvement with a shorter hammer handle.
