history

Traces of Roman settlements in Obertuttwil indicate that the area was already inhabited in antiquity .

Tuttwil was first mentioned in 1244 as Tuotwille . In the Middle Ages , the Kreuzlingen monastery (1244) and the Johanniterkomturei Tobel owned goods in Tuttwil. In 1282, the Konstanz Cathedral Monastery gave the Kehlhof to Fischingen Monastery . Tuttwil was under Habsburg-Austrian rule until 1460, and from 1460 to 1798 Tuttwil was part of the Tuttwilerberg High Court . Ecclesiastically, Tuttwil always shared the fate of the parish of Wängi.

Up until the 19th century, mainly arable and fruit growing was practiced, then there was a shift from grain to cattle and dairy farming. The Stieger'sche cheese dairy was established in 1862. From 1785 Obertuttwil was a changing station on the old Zurich - St. Gallen road , which led over the Tuttwilerberg until the middle of the 19th century. The prestressing services and the inns brought additional earnings. In the 19th century next to the spinning, weaving and was Ferggerei of cotton some embroidery operated. From 1960 new residential buildings were built on the outskirts of the village.

In 1969 the four local communities of Tuttwil, Anetswil , Krillberg and Wängi merged to form the unitary community of Wängi, which still exists today as a political community.
