[4] During the High Middle Ages the major landholders in village included Regensberg, the Bishop of Constance, the Freiherr of Tegerfelden and the lords of Endingen.

After the conquest of the Aargau in 1415 by the Swiss Confederation it was part of the high court of the bailiff of Baden.

The low court rights lay with Sankt Blasien Abbey in the Black Forest.

In accordance with the resolution of the Tagsatzung in 1678, Jews were allowed to settle in the communities of the Surb valley.

[6] The Jewish population was fairly well tolerated (except for the Zwetschgenkrieg or "plum war" riots in 1802), self-managed and maintained its own school.

[4] However, even though they were nearly a majority in Endingen, the Jewish residents were only allowed to enter a few professions, such as trade.

[6] They were under the high and low courts of the Baden bailiff and had to buy "protection and safety" letters from the authorities.

[4] It wasn't until 1876 that Jews were granted full equality in civil rights and allowed to travel.

Napoleon Bonaparte lacked the troops to bring peace to Switzerland, and also he needed the Swiss regiments for his campaigns.
