Nesslau is a municipality in the Toggenburg district of the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. The current municipality was formed in 2013 and includes the villages of Nesslau, Krummenau and Stein. ==History== The area was incorporated into the domains of the counts of Toggenburg and the Abbey of St. Gall from the 12th century. Nesslau is first mentioned in 1178 as ''Mezellouo''. In 1261 it was mentioned as ''Nesselove'' and ''ze dem Wassere''. In 912 the hamlet of Lutenwil was mentioned as ''Lutherraheimara''. Krummenau is first mentioned in 1266 as ''Crumbenowe''. Sidwald developed into a regional cattle market from the 16th century. After a series of fires in the benedictine abbey of St. John's in the upper Toggenburg, the monastery was moved to ''Neu St. Johann'' near Sidwald in 1626. From 1831 to 2002, Nesslau was the administrative center of the constituency of ''Obertoggenburg''. The railway connecting Ebnat-Kappel to Nesslau-Neu St. Johann was opened in 1912, resulting in development of tourism in the region. The former municipality of Nesslau was merged with Krummenau into ''Nesslau-Krummenau'' in 2005. A further merger with Stein in 2013 resulted in the current municipality of Nesslau.〔(Amtliches Gemeindeverzeichnis der Schweiz ) published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office accessed 14 January 2010〕〔(Amtliches Gemeindeverzeichnis der Schweiz ) published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office accessed 2 January 2013〕 The pre-2005 Nesslau had a different Community Identification Number (SFOS) (3355) and was smaller than the current municipality of Nesslau. 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「Nesslau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
