Hüttwilen

Hüttwilen is a municipality in Frauenfeld District in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.

Archeological sites and scattered, individual items indicate that there was a mesolithic settlement in the Seebachtal near Hüttwilen.

In 1928, a Roman-era estate was discovered in Stutheien which proves that there was a Roman settlement in the area.

The monastery held the majority of the lower court authority over the village until 1798.

Starting in 1551 the chapel in Uesslingen has been a branch of the Hüttwilen Reformed parish.

For most of the village's history, the main economic activities were wine production, farming and fruit growing.

Agriculture was a significant source of income until 1960 when it began to decline in importance and was increasingly replaced by commercial companies.

The largest employer is the structure and scaffolding Nussli Group.,[4] (2011: 350 employees in Hüttwilen and worldwide).

In 1966 the natural and cultural landscape of the Seebach was put under protection which limited development.
