Unterlunkhofen is a municipality in the district of Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

History

[edit]

Since pre-Christian times people have inhabited the areas around Unterlunkhofen. Archeological digs document a settlement of the Geisshof area since the Neolithic Age (Horgen Culture, ca 2700-2400 BC). There are other significant discoveries from the early Iron Age (ca 800-450 BC), including the Bärhau burial site which is the largest of its kind in Switzerland. The area near the municipality also included a Roman era villa. In 1890 a Roman wall with marble facing and a magnificent six-color mosaic floor was excavated.[3]

Alemannic settlement dates to the 7th century. Lunkhofen included the estates at Oberlunkhofen, Unterlunkhofen, Jonen, and Arni-Islisberg, recorded as Lunchunft in the 9th century. The ferry across the Reuss (mentioned 1160) was part of the main road connecting Zürich and Bern until the 16th century. The estates were in possession of Murbach Abbey, given as a fief to the Habsburgs in 1259 and was sold to Rudolf I of Germany in 1291. Lunkhofen remained under Habsburg control and was administered by the reeves of Trostberg until 1414, when jurisdiction was acquired by Bremgarten. After the conquest of Aargau in 1415, Lunkhofen fell to Zürich and was part of the bailiwick of Knonau until 1798. It was detached from Zürich and given to the newly formed canton of Aargau in 1803.

The Bärhau, an Iron Age burial site, which with 63 graves is the largest of its kind in Switzerland, is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance.[12] The Bärhau was discovered and explored from 1865 to 1900 in several stages.

In addition to the remains of human skeletons were found grave goods such as bronze jewelry, tools and small weapons.
