history

Ittingen Charterhouse, behind it Warth and Weiningen, 1954

The place was first mentioned in 1420 as Wart . An opening dates from 1420. The Carthusian monastery Ittingen ruled from 1461 to 1798.

Warth belonged to the parish church of Uesslingen until it was incorporated into the provost of Ittingen in 1162 . After the prior had denied the women of Warth access to the Carthusian Church in 1461, they forced the monastery to have their own place of worship. Construction of the St. Wolfgang Chapel, later St. Martin's Church, began in 1471. After the Reformation , Warth returned to Catholicism in 1581, and in 1833 it formed its own parish.

In Warth arable, wine and fruit growing was operated. The monastery mill remained in operation until 1882. In 1979 the school communities of Warth and Weiningen united , in 1989 they built a school with a multi-purpose hall. From 1980, Warth changed to a residential community due to its proximity to Frauenfeld.
