Siglistorf ( Swiss German : ˈsɪgliʃˌtɔrf ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Zurzach district and lies on the border with the canton of Zurich and just under three kilometers south of the border with Germany .

geography

The village lies in a valley that is bordered by gravel terraces typical of the Central Plateau , which were created in the early Pleistocene by means of medium moraine material . This is traversed from southeast to north by the Tägerbach, which flows into the Upper Rhine near Mellikon . The hills that flank the valley are very steep in the lower area and merge into extensive plateaus. The hill in the east is called simply mountain and reaches a height of 603 meters, in the west the fire rises ( 588  m above sea level ). In the center of the village, a short side valley branches off towards the southwest. The Buechstock ( 596  m above sea level ) rises between the two valleys in the south .

The area of ​​the municipality is 551 hectares , of which 285 hectares are forested and 38 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 601 meters on the mountain plateau, the lowest at 420 meters on the Tägerbach. Neighboring communities are Wislikofen in the northwest, Fisibach in the northeast, Bachs and Oberweningen in the southeast, Schleinikon and Niederweningen in the south and Schneisingen in the southwest.

history

Siglistorf was first mentioned in a document in 1113. At that time, the nobles von Waldhausen donated the Wislikofen priory and donated extensive property in the region to the St. Blasien monastery for this purpose. The place name comes from the Old High German Sigilinesthorf and means "village of Sigilin". The lower courts came in the 13th century Constance Diocese and the bishop's jurisdiction was Klingnau allocated. The blood jurisdiction and therefore the sovereignty lay first with the Counts of Kyburg , from 1273 at the Habsburgs .

The Swiss conquered Aargau in 1415 and Siglistorf was now part of the Ehrendingen office of the County of Baden , a common rule . The village was on an important trade route at the time, which led from southern Germany via Schaffhausen , Kaiserstuhl and Baden to Geneva . This connection was particularly important for the transport of salt from the Salzkammergut . In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Schneisingen was initially a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden , since 1803 it has belonged to the canton of Aargau.

Siglistorf remained an agricultural village until well into the 20th century, supplemented by forestry. Until 1970 the population fluctuated between 250 and 300. The settlement of small businesses was also associated with an increase in population. Within the next forty years, the population increased by almost two and a half times. This also involved a significant expansion of the infrastructure.
