history

Pre-Roman times

Ceramic ensemble from the Late Bronze Age

The oldest evidence of human presence in the Seebachtal comes from the Mesolithic (9000–5500 BC) and goes back to nomadic hunters and gatherers who set up camp in the lake area. The finds are exclusively flint artifacts . On the basis of pollen-analytical investigations, already in the second half of the 5th millennium BC In the middle Neolithic , arable farming was practiced in the vicinity of Uerschhausen. The settlement is still unknown.

Decorative pearls made of glass, amber and gagat from the late Bronze Age settlement on the Horn peninsula, 8th century BC. Chr.

The oldest documented settlement is in the Nussbaumersee and belonged to the so-called Pfyner culture . The village was founded around 3840 BC. Built in BC; the last construction activities took place in 3582 BC. After a long break, the place was repopulated during the so-called Horgen culture (3300–2700 BC). A single mine house has been found from the subsequent Cord Ceramic Age. At the transition from the early to the middle Bronze Age (16th century BC) the same place was settled again. The most important settlement is on the Horn peninsula and dates to the latest Bronze Age (approx. 850–800 BC). The settlement area, which was extensively examined in the years 1985–90, covers around 10,000 m² and probably consisted of over 100 buildings. The houses examined were small buildings with a maximum length of 6 meters, which were used almost exclusively as residential buildings. There are no references to stables. The village must have been around 800 BC. BC probably because of the continuously rising water level of the Nussbaumersee, after it had been previously cleared according to plan.

In the older Iron Age , more buildings were erected on the southern edge of the late Bronze Age settlement area ( dendrodata between 660 and 635 BC).

Burial mounds from the early Middle Ages were found in the village. Uerschhausen was first mentioned in 1212 as Urreshusin . The monasteries of St. Gallen and St. Katharinental were wealthy in Uerschhausen in the Middle Ages . In 1317 Pope John XXII published a bull because Uerschhauser had seized the property of St. Katharinental. The castle Helfenberg , mentioned in 1331, was already a ruin in 1413. Uerschhausen belonged to the Ittingen rulership until 1490 , then to the so-called high courts of the Thurgau bailiff until 1798 .

The rural economy and settlement structure hardly changed in the 20th century.
