Güttingen is a municipality in the district of Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland. ==History== The earliest traces of human settlement in the area now occupied by the municipality is the Stone Age settlement at ''Rotfarb/Moosburg'' which dates from the 4th millennium BC. During the Early Middle Ages there was an Alamanni grave yard in the area. The modern village of Güttingen is first mentioned in 799 as ''Cutaningin'' though this comes from a 9th Century copy of the earlier record. In 1155 it was mentioned as ''Guthingen''.〔 The major landlords in Güttingen were the Bishop of Constance and the Abbey of St. Gall. Between 1159 and 1357 the Freiherr of Güttingen were mentioned as landlords and owner of Vogtei In 1359, it became part of the bailiwick of the Lords of Breitenlandenberg. The Bishop of Constance reacquired the Diocese's rights and property in the village in 1452. He held onto these rights until 1798. The bishop appointed a chief bailiff who ruled and held the low court for the village in the castle.〔 By 1275 there was a church in Güttingen. The right to appoint the church's priest was probably held by the Freiherr of Güttingen. During the Protestant Reformation, the majority in the village converted to the new faith. However, from 1554 to 1848, Kreuzlingen Abbey held the right to appoint the priest. The village church became a shared church, and has remained shared by Catholics and Protestants.〔 Agriculture, shipping and fishing were traditionally the main economic activities in Güttingen. In the 19th century cattle and dairy farming replaced some of the traditional agriculture. A dairy cooperative opened in 1861. Vineyards were replaced with fruit orchards in the early 20th century. In 1920, the agricultural cooperative was founded.〔 Neither the ''Seestrasse'' (Lake Road, built in 1840) or the Seetalbahn (Lake Valley Railroad, opened in 1870) produced any economic growth in the village. In 1835, a ''Türkisch Rotgarn'' (an Alizarin red color) dye-works opened in the village. By 1900, an embroidery factory had also moved into Güttingen. In addition to large scale agriculture and a fruit trading company in the late 20th century, most of jobs in the village are in medium commercial and industrial businesses.〔 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「Güttingen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
