history

Parish before the merger in 1995

Strohwilen was first mentioned in a document in 1359 as Strubenwiler and Wulvikon as early as 1268. In the High Middle Ages, Strohwilen was mainly under the rule of Reichenau Abbey . In 1359 the Schenk von Castell owned four fiefdoms in Strohwilen . Both villages came from the Spiegelberg rule to the Griesenberg court rule in 1466 , with which they remained until 1798. Strohwilen and Wolfikon were the latest from 1275 to Lustdorf pfarrgenössig . The Reformation took place in 1529 . In 1651 the federal districts confirmed to the parish that they could remain purely reformed. In 1869, the Catholics who moved there were assigned to those of Leutmerken by the parish of Lommis . The local community belonged to the municipality of Leutmerken from 1803 to 1816 and to the municipality of Amlikon from 1816 to 1994.

Until the 19th century, Strohwilen mainly cultivated grain using the three-row system , after which the farms increasingly focused on cattle and dairy farming, supplemented by fruit growing. In 1980, 76% of the workforce was still employed in agriculture. Strohwilen is part of the primary school community Lauchetal and secondary school community Affeltrangen .
