Tegerfelden ( Swiss German : ˈtægərˌfæld ) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau . It belongs to the Zurzach district and is located in the Surbtal , around three kilometers south of the border with Germany .

geography

The southern part of the village lies in the narrow valley of the Surb , the northern part in a hollow which is bordered on three sides by hills of the Table Jura . These are the Belchen ( 468  m above sea level ) in the west, the Hörndli ( 521  m above sea level ) in the north and the Imberg ( 532  m above sea level ) in the east. Extensive vineyards extend on the steep south and south-west slopes of these hills . To the south of the Surb lies the Ruckfeld, an extensive plateau, which is limited at its edges by very steep slopes up to 40 meters high.

The area of ​​the municipality is 711 hectares , of which 268 hectares are forested and 73 hectares are built over. The highest point is at 532 meters on the Imberg, the lowest at 337 meters on the Surb. Neighboring communities are Bad Zurzach in the north, Rekingen in the northeast, Baldingen in the east, Endingen in the south and Döttingen in the west.

history

The area around Tegerfelden was already settled during the Neolithic Age between 3,500 and 5,000 years ago, as various tool finds prove. Other finds come from the Romans , the Alemanni and the Franks . Tegerfelt was first mentioned in a document in 851. The place name comes from the Old High German (ze demo) tegarin field and means "near the large field". Towards the end of the 11th century, the barons of Tegerfelden had a castle built on a rocky promontory of the Ruckfeld. From the Castle Tegerfelden a few remains of walls have been preserved.

In 1150 a Luitoldus de Tegeruelt appears in a document from the St. Blasien monastery . Well-known representatives of the Barons of Tegerfelden were Ulrich von Tegerfelden , abbot of the St. Gallen Monastery from 1167 to 1199 and at the same time Bishop of Chur between 1171 and 1179 and his nephew Konrad II of Tegerfelden , who was Bishop of Constance from 1209 to 1233 . Konrad's brother Waltherus III. died in 1254 without male descendants. His daughter Ita brought the inheritance to Ulrich von Klingen , the founder of the small town of Klingnau, through marriage . In 1276 the former property of the Tegerfeld family was transferred to the St. Blasien monastery. The Habsburgs also owned some goods and also exercised blood jurisdiction .

The Swiss conquered Aargau in 1415 and Tegerfelden now belonged to the Siggenamt in the county of Baden , a common rule . In 1529 a large part of the population converted to the Reformation . In contrast to numerous neighboring villages, the new denomination was able to assert itself here even after the Second Kappel War of 1531. Until 1661, Catholics and Reformed people shared the chapel. Then the Catholics consecrated their own church in Unterendingen , while the Reformed church expanded the chapel into a church by 1664 .

In March 1798 the French took Switzerland and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Tegerfelden was initially a municipality in the short-lived canton of Baden , since 1803 it has belonged to the canton of Aargau. After the opening of the Turgi – Waldshut railway lines in 1859 and Dielsdorf – Niederweningen in 1891, the Surbtal communities submitted a concession for the construction of a connecting line between Niederweningen and Döttingen . But the First World War prevented the construction of the Surb Valley Railway and the project was finally written off in 1937.

Around 1880 around 47 hectares were planted with vines . In the early 20th century, the once dominant fell viticulture into a deep crisis, caused by cheap wine imports by rail, the mildew and from North America entrained phylloxera . The acreage continued to decrease and reached its lowest point in the 1960s. Since 1970, however, an upward trend has been discernible again, the area under cultivation has been growing since then and has almost reached the old level again.

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In blue with a red and white border, a white eagle." The community seals of 1811 and 1872 showed an illustration that was based on a misinterpretation of the place name. The outstretched arm protruding from the right edge of the shield with a sword in hand should represent the term "sword field". Around 1930 the community took over the coat of arms of the Free von Tegerfelden . The red and white border, however, had three rows, which made the eagle appear extremely small. Since 1953 the shelf has only been in a single row.
