Gangolfswil
Gangolfwil is the name of a former farm on Lake Zug in what is now the municipality of Risch in Switzerland . Mentioned for the first time in 1150, from 1486 the land in what is now the northern municipality of Risch became the Vogtei Gangolfswil . The Bailiwick continued to exist until 1798 and was then combined with the rule of Buona and some smaller monastery properties to form today's municipality of Risch. With the construction of Freudenberg Castle and the creation of the park in 1929, the now insignificant name Gangolfswil disappeared.
Location and demarcation
The original location of the Gangolfswil farm is assumed to be on the shores of Lake Zug near the hamlet of Zweieren on the grounds of Freudenberg Castle . Until 1486, Gangolfwil was only understood to mean the lands of the Gangolfswil farm in what is now the northern municipality of Risch. With the proclamation of the bailiwick in 1486, the entire area, which was subordinate to the city of Zug, was named the farm. The bailiwick extended around the rule of Buona over the northern, western and southern parts of today's municipality of Risch. The center of the Vogtei was the hamlet of Holzhäusern , further hamlets in Gangolfswil were, besides Berchtwil and Risch, the three upper neighborhoods Ibikon, Küntwil and Waldeten. The Church of St. Verena Risch , which still exists today, was an important building object . The parish boundaries of the Vogtei Gangolfswil have been preserved to this day.
history
Before the founding of the Bailiwick (until 1486)
Through the oldest Habsburg counts, the northern areas of today's municipality of Risch came to the Muri monastery, founded in 1027, with the Gangolfswil farm between 1096 and 1111 . Pope Hadrian IV placed the Muri monastery under his protection in a document issued in the Lateran in Rome on March 28, 1159, in which the Risch church is mentioned for the first time as ecclesia Rishe . The monastery received the land through a donation and purchase. Her rights also included fishing rights in Lake Zug, and it was also the judge for the area. The income of the monastery comes from the fields and their grain, which was planted by the farmers. The area was called " Ennetsee " due to its location on the other side of Lake Zug , and the name is still in use today. Around 1298 the right of patronage changed from the Muri monastery to the von Hertenstein family, who lived in Hertenstein Castle (now Buonas Castle) . The city of Zug took over essential basic rights in Gangolfswil from the Muri monastery in 1410 and finally bought the farm on September 5, 1486. Thus Gangolfswil became a zugerische bailiwick .
Gangolfswil Bailiwick (1486–1798)
With the establishment of the Vogtei Gangolfswil in 1486, the city of Zug acquired essential basic rights in the area, but not the fish interest due. The rule of Buona , located within the Bailiwick, and the associated collature of the Risch parish church remained independent. Initially annually, from 1594 every two years from 1594, an Obervogt living in Zug was elected for the Vogtei Gangolfswil, without the citizens having a say. He supervised the entire life of the Vogteil people and had to ensure order and peace and lived in Zug. The subordinate helped in court and administration . The sub-governors were elected at irregular intervals. The community center was wooden houses in the 18th century , which was reflected in the construction of the first rifle and community center in 1709. The community meetings were held there. Civil families from 1633 included Sidler, Schwerzmann, Knüsel, Müller, Bossard, Stuber, Gügler and Schmid. From 1726 school lessons were held in Gangolfswil .
In addition to fishing, the bailiwick was mainly characterized by agriculture, but also viticulture. Although the Gangolfswil farm together with Waldeten, Küntwil and Ibikon formed the Gangolfswil Vogtei, the old medieval borders of the Gangolfswil farm remained in the parish boundaries between Risch and Meierskappel into the 21st century. On February 7, 1798, the staff leaders, the councilors and the citizens of the city of Zug wrote to the bailiwicks in which the Zug bailiffs, including the bailiwick of Gangolfswil, were to be repealed. At an extraordinary rural community on Sunday, February 11, 1798, all “newly established citizens” were granted citizenship and the subject relationship in the Zug bailiwicks was revoked.
Zugerischer Ennetsee
One of the farmers from Ennetsee was Hartmann Lutinger, the progenitor of today's Luthiger family. This farmer of two appeared in public between 1400 and 1435. In the first year he acted in a petition by leading church members from Risch to the episcopal curia in Constance against the people priest Werner von Hertenstein, in 1429 again in a shop in this parish church. A number of well-known and elderly men, from their own knowledge and from the tradition of their ancestors, filed sworn customers about the obligation to maintain the church roof. Hartmann Lutinger remembered more than fifty years, i.e. until at least 1379, which assumes a year of birth around 1365. In 1408 at the latest, he was also named by an income sledge from the Gangolfswil court, in which the rights of the von Hünenberg gentlemen against Muri were recorded. The Lutherans were thus attested for almost exactly six hundred years as traditional farmers on the farms of two. The former hearing people around Muri died out early, but their descendants made themselves at home in the Ennetsee in Zurich.
Shortly after 1400, individuals took civic citizenship, in 1402 Hänsli Lutinger von Zweieren in Lucerne, in 1416 Heinrich via Hünenberg in Zug. As a farmer there, Heinrich was there when the people of Hünenberg took possession of the goods of the run-down gentlemen at the castle and founded their own twin cooperative under the protection of the city of Zug. A little later, the municipal Vogtgemeinde appointed Weibel as a jury member in the court, i.e. appointed to the authority. Since 1435, Hartmann Lutinger with his sons Heini and Hänsli and his presumed brother Ueli were among the people of Zweiern and Dersbach in the Zug register of citizens. Hänsli Lutinger, Hartmann's son, was again entrusted with the office of Kirchmeiers in Risch in 1476. A court of such Lutinger met that of the Walcher in wooden houses as early as 1501.
In large numbers, further recordings in the Zuerich citizenship followed. For the time being, of course, a branch moved into the Hertenstein jurisdiction of Buenas (Buonas), with Lieutenant Josef on this line in 1763 to Cham and Zug, and shortly after 1600 Oswald von Dersbach to St. Wolfgang. It included the most famous Lutheran, Ammann Johann Kaspar (1710–1797) from the Brüggli in Zug. Even today, the Lutherans are still among the oldest civil families in the communities of Zug, Cham, Hünenberg and Risch. Among these, the old Rischer line should still be kept with special care! "
Gangolfswil in the municipality of Risch (after 1798)
The Gangolfswil farm was on the banks of Lake Zug until the 19th century, but the farm lost its importance and the name was forgotten. With the construction of Freudenberg Castle and the creation of a park from 1929, the courtyard and name disappeared for good.
