Thalwil is a municipality and town in the district of Horgen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. As of 2010 its population was of 17,189. Besides the town of Thalwil, the municipality includes the village of Gattikon. The official language of Thalwil is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect. ==History== Thalwil is first mentioned around 1030 as ''Talwile villam'', which is derived from ''Tellewilare'', Tello's Farm, and indicates the early medieval origins of Thalwil as an Alemannic farmstead. Only a few graves remain from this period. In 1133 it was mentioned as ''Telwil''.〔 The parish of Thalwil originally comprised four ''Wachten'' (hamlets): *Ludretikon, the oldest hamlet (mentioned in 915), bordering Rüschlikon *Oberdorf (Upper Village), the area around the church *Unterdorf (Lower Village), the area roughly south of the railway station *Langnau, which separated from Thalwil around 1713 In medieval times, the economy consisted mainly of farms, vineyards as well as a small amount of fishing, crafts and shipping (on the lake). This estate was once owned by the Dukes of Habsburg and held by the Barons of Eschenbach. The Abbeys of Muri and Wettingen also had significant interests and owned 12 and 3 farms respectively. Thalwil also boasts the oldest wood corporation in the Canton of Zurich, the ''Bannegg-Waldung''. It was first mentioned in 1483, when Muri Abbey granted it to the twelve beneficiaries of the Abbey farms in Thalwil. Today the corporation is owned by 16 members as well as by the Thalwil Gemeinde. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thalwil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
