history

Seuzach was first mentioned in a document in 1263. Ohringen was first mentioned in an imperial document in 1125. Before 1125, the landlord of the Oberohringen court was the Bishop of Constance , then the Kreuzlingen monastery . In the second half of the 1460s, the manor very probably went to the Lords of Hünenberg. The Kyburgs were superior to the manorial power of the monastery . The Hof Unterohringen was mentioned for the first time in 1264, was first named as such in 1279 and, in contrast to Oberohringen, had no shared rule. The rule was held by the Kyburger, then the House of Habsburg Austria . The farm was repeatedly mortgaged . Around 1300 the House of Habsburg Austria held the lower and the higher jurisdiction for lower and upper ears.

In the Seuzach settlement, the rulers were more complicated. The rule of the Kyburgs and later the Habsburgs was partially upstream of the Bishop of Constance, but downstream were numerous other holders of rulership rights, including places of worship, noblemen and citizens of Winterthur and Schaffhausen . The lords of Heimenstein's rulership rights associated with Heimenstein Castle cannot be proven. Little is known about the history of the lords and the castle. Some lords of Heimenstein received fiefdoms in Seuzach, the castle was again a fiefdom of the Reichenau monastery , later of the lords of Laufen. The castle was probably nothing more than the seat of a farm. The county of Kyburg, to which Seuzach and Ohringen belonged, went to Habsburg in 1264.

Upper and lower ears remained individual farms until the early modern times . Seuzach, on the other hand, experienced the evaporation process typical of the high Middle Ages in Europe as part of the then strong population growth. That is, from hamlets and individual farms is a locally closed village, the importance of the community grew over the domination relationships developed Frondienste evaded property taxes and the rural community began under Zelgenwirtschaft manage themselves.

The extent to which the sharp decline in population caused by crop failures, the plague and other factors affected Seuzach in the late Middle Ages can no longer be determined due to a lack of data. Base rate cuts from the end of the 14th to the middle of the 15th century are evidence of an agricultural crisis triggered by wars ( Sempach War , Old Zurich War ) during this period. After the end of the Old Zurich War, the situation recovered. Seuzach was also directly affected by the Old Zurich War. In 1445, 130 mercenaries from Wil attacked the village, killed seven men and captured 80 cattle and 23 horses. It should have been the entire livestock of the village.

Together with the county of Kyburg, Seuzach came back to the city of Zurich as pledge from 1424 to 1442 and 1452. Own village authorities, namely the "Dorfmeier", were mentioned for the first time in 1498, but existed earlier. In 1530 the village community took out a loan and acted as an independent legal entity for the first time. A first municipal ordinance has been handed down from 1536, followed by in 1685 and 1765. The Reformation in Seuzach was probably implemented at Easter 1525. Previously, pastor Johann Ferber, who described Luther and Zwingli as heretics , preached in the village . He was therefore arrested at short notice in 1525, fined and finally deposed. His successor was Johannes Bosshart, who also took part in the Bern disputation in 1528 .

With the establishment of the Helvetic Republic after the French invasion in 1798 , a municipal community was created in Seuzach just like elsewhere. The existing village community was converted into a civil parish under private law and dissolved in 1928. In the Second Coalition War , Seuzach was a theater of war around the battle near Winterthur . After the First Battle of Zurich , Austrian and Russian troops ruled the Canton of Zurich. In September, the French returned after the Second Battle of Zurich .
