Location of the municipality

Tobel-Tägerschen is a municipality in the Münchwilen district of the Swiss canton of Thurgau . It was created in 1999 through the union of the two local communities Tägerschen and Tobel . At the same time the local community of Braunau separated from the municipal community of Tobel and has since formed its own political community.

geography

Tobel-Tägerschen is located on the southern edge of the Lauchetal on the main road Märstetten - Wil SG . The community consists of the now seamlessly assembled districts of Tobel and Tägerschen, the hamlets of Erikon, Karlishub and Thürn, as well as numerous small settlements and individual farms.

With Tobel- Affeltrangen and Tägerschen, the community has two train stations on the Weinfelden – Wil railway line .

history

Johanniterkomturei Tobel between 1706 and 1724

The Executive Council requested in 1998 in the Grand Council of the Canton of Thurgau approved in 1998 the merger of the existing local churches and Tobel Tägerschen to a unified community that the double name was given at the request of the population Tobel-Tägerschen. Since January 1, 1999, the two villages with their common settlement area have now formed a political municipality.

The history of Tobel and Tägerschen is closely linked to the Johanniterkomturei of that time , which was founded between 1226 and 1228. By the end of the 15th century, the Commandery built the Tobel rule through systematic acquisitions . In 1807 the canton of Thurgau took over the commandery and in 1811 set up a work center for men and women there. In 1973 the cantonal penal institution in the former Tobel Commandery was dissolved.

coat of arms

Ravine

Tagerschen

Tobel-Tägerschen

Blazon : Diagonally to the left divided by red with a white cross and by yellow with a red cross, both crosses with clipped legs against the dividing line so that they only touch the corner points.

Until 2012, the political community used the coats of arms of the two former local communities. At the request of the cantonal government , the municipality had the two coats of arms of Tägerschen and Tobel merged into a new municipal coat of arms in 2012. It shows the St. John's Cross and thus refers to the Coming Tobel of the Order of St. John or Maltese, which existed from 1228 to 1809.
