Islisberg is a municipality in the district of Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
History
Islisberg is first mentioned in 1185 as Nidolperhc. In 1305 it was mentioned as Isbolzberg. In the 13th century it was a Habsburg bailiwick. The main landholders in the village were Muri Abbey, Frauenthal Abbey and the Monastery of St. Leodegar in Lucerne. In 1414 Bremgarten gained the right to low justice in the village, a right that it held until 1797. After 1415, Zurich exerted the rights to high justice over the Kelleramt, including Islisberg.
Between 1360 and 1370 a chapel is mentioned in the village. This chapel was dedicated in 1937 to St. Anthony of Padua. The Catholic residents belong to the parish of Lunkhofen while the Reformed residents belong to the Bremgarten-Mutschellen parish.
Starting in 1811 there was a winter school in the dairy, and in 1869 the schoolhouse opened. A new school building opened in 2000. While the village was originally a farming village, at the beginning of the 21st century there were only four farms left. It is increasingly developing into a residential extension of the agglomeration of Zurich. [3]
From 1803 until 1982 it was part of the municipality of Arni-Islisberg. In 1983 it split into two separate municipalities. [4]
