Salmsach
Salmsach is a municipality in the district of Arbon in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
Salmsach is first mentioned in 1155 as Salmasa. Salmsach was probably founded by the Bishop of Constance Salomo I who founded a religious community there. It was placed under the Abbey of St. Stephen in Constance by Salomo III in 910. In 1155 the abbey owned a farm, five Schupposen, some tithe rights and half the church treasure in Salmsach. In 1380 it acquired at least the low justice rights as well. The Abbot of St. Gall, Ulrich Rösch, acquired Salmsach and the church treasure in 1471 and united it with the court of Romanshorn. They remained united until 1798. (to 1798). The Knights of the Churchyard of Arbon, who had entered into a contract in 1201 with provost and the Abbey of St. Stephen, were allowed to appoint the pastor and had other rights in the village. During the Protestant Reformation, Salmsach converted to the new religion. After 1588, the pastor of Salmsach also held services in Romanshorn. In 1917, Salmsach merged with the parish of Romanshorn.
In 1742 a school was founded in both Salmsach and Hungerbüel. The village of Hungerbüel merged with Salmsach in 1812.
The main economic activity in the village included fruit production, horticulture and agriculture, though in the 19th Century two mills opened. A factory opened in 1860 in Amelung to manufacture starch. Between 1878-92 an embroidery factory operated and between 1889-1931 a steam sawmill was running. In 1987, a plastic factory opened. While it has retained the character of a little country hamlet, it is a residential community for the nearby town of Romanshorn. In 2005, the agriculture accounts for about 29% of jobs in the community.
Salmsach has an area, as of 2009[update], of 2.7 square kilometers (1.0 sq mi). Of this area, 1.85 km2 (0.71 sq mi) or 68.5% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.22 km2 (0.085 sq mi) or 8.1% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.54 km2 (0.21 sq mi) or 20.0% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.4% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.4% is unproductive land.
Of the built up area, industrial buildings made up 12.2% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 3.7% and transportation infrastructure made up 0.4%. while parks, green belts and sports fields made up 3.3%. Out of the forested land, 5.9% of the total land area is heavily forested and 2.2% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 50.7% is used for growing crops, while 17.8% is used for orchards or vine crops. All the water in the municipality is flowing water.
The municipality is located in the Arbon district, south of Romanshorn. It consists of the village of Salmsach and the hamlets of Buerüüti, Fälwis and Hungerbüel.
Salmsach has a population (as of December 2020[update]) of 1,481. As of 2008[update], 22.1% of the population are foreign nationals. Over the last 10 years (1997–2007) the population has changed at a rate of 1.6%. Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (86.2%), with Turkish being second most common ( 3.2%) and Albanian being third ( 3.1%).
