Möhlin ((:ˈmøːlin)) is a municipality in the district of Rheinfelden in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. ==History== The area around Möhlin was prehistorically settled. A neolithic settlement has been discovered at ''Chleizelgli'', while scattered Bronze Age items were discovered around the municipality. There was a Roman era estate as well as three watchtowers along the Rhine river. During the Early to High Middle Ages it was the site of fortified refuge. The modern village of Möhlin is first mentioned in 794 as ''Melina''.〔 In the 13th Century a knight in the service of the House of Zähringen and a 15th Century Rheinfeld ''Schultheiss'' (mayor) both had the name von Meli, which is derived from Möhlin. The municipality of Möhlin came into being when eight hamlets merged over the course of the 15th Century. Jurors (a group of men of good character that were used to investigate crimes and/or judge the accused) from Möhlin are first mentioned in 1473. From 1135 until 1797, the village was under Habsburg-Austrian rule. It was a part of the region of Möhlinbach in the Rheinfelden district. Both the high and low courts over the district were under Austrian control. In 1803 the entire ''Fricktal'', including Möhlin, joined the newly founded Canton of Aargau. The settlement of Rappershausen was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.〔 The church appears in the 8th Century with Germanus as its patron saint. In the 10th Century it is again mentioned, but this time the patron is Saint Leodegar. The original building was replaced with a new church in 1609. In 1314 the patronage of the church was granted by the Abbey of Ettenheim in Breisgau to James of Wart. A few years later, in 1327, it was granted to the Teutonic Knights Order House in Beuggen. Between 1803-63 the patronage was held by the Canton of Aargau. The two chapels in Obermöhlin and Riburg date from the 17th and the early 18th Century. The Christian Catholic parish was established in 1873, and took over the church at that time. The church was renovated in 1954. In the 1940s, a Catholic and a Reformed church were built.〔 In 1932, the Bata Shoes company opened its factory in Möhlin. The factory buildings and the surrounding residential areas were modeled on the original urban design of the city of Zlín, Czechoslovakia. 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「Möhlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
