Stallikon (in Swiss German "Schtalike") is a municipality in the Affoltern district in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland .
geography
The political municipality of Stallikon includes a large section of the Albis ridge with the Üetliberg , the Mädikon , the Baldern and Buechenegg and the middle part of the Reppischtal with the hamlets of Tägerst , Gamlikon , Aumüli , the villages of Stallikon and Sellenbüren as well as individual farms. The highest point in the municipality of Stallikon is on the Üetliberg, the local mountain of the city of Zurich . Sellenbüren to the west is much larger than the village of Stallikon.
history
The oldest settlement in the area of today's municipality was on the summit of the Uetliberg, the Uto Kulm . Since the Neolithic Age there has been a village with an associated fortification ( Oppidum Uetliberg ). The Romans later built a watchtower there. At last there was the Uetliburg , which was built by the Alamanni . Another point that was populated early on was the Ofengüpf above Sellenbüren .
The Uetliberg was the seat of the Barons von Sellenbüren, who are said to have endowed the St. Blasien monastery with goods and farms in Stallikon in the 10th century. At the end of the 11th century, Heinrich von Sellenbüren donated land to the Muri monastery, and in the 12th century Konrad had the Engelberg monastery built on his own land and gave him goods. The three monasteries St. Blasien, Muri and Engelberg had substantial possessions in the Stallikertal. The Vogtei Wettswil-Sellenbüren-Stallikon passed from Engelberg Monastery to the Effinger family in 1466, and later to the city of Zurich. In 1538 Zurich united the bailiwick with the upper bailiwick of Bonnstetten. The Reformation contributed to the fact that the bond with Zurich grew ever closer.
coat of arms

The decision for today's official municipal coat of arms was made by the Stalliker municipal council in 1931 in order to distinguish it from the Effinger family coat of arms , which shows a rafter in the red field.
