Oberrüti
Oberrüti is a municipality in the district of Muri in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
Oberrüti is first mentioned in 1236 as Ruty. In wasn't until the creation of the Canton of Aargau in 1803 that the name became Oberrüti.
Oberrüti was part of the Habsburgs high court district of Meienberg. After the conquest of the Aargau in 1415, it became part of Lucerne. From 1425 until 1798 it was part of the Freie Ämter, which were governed as "subject lands" by all or some of the Confederates. The Twingherrschaft belonged to the Lords of Hünenberg. The Lords of Hünenberg also founded the village church of St. Ruprecht, which is first mentioned in 1275. After 1415 they sold the whole property to Ulrich Hertenstein, a citizen of Lucerne. He, then, ceded the rights to Kappel Abbey in 1448. From 1498 to 1798 the village government and church Jus patronatus or patronage rights were held by the city of Zug. In 1803 the Canton of Aargau was formed and Oberrüti became part of it. The ferry over the Reuss river was originally a Habsburg fief. It was in operation from 1413 until 1884.
Oberrüti has an area, as of 2009[update], of 5.37 square kilometers (2.07 sq mi).
