Hendschiken
Hendschiken is a municipality in the district of Lenzburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. History Hendschiken is first mentioned in 1160 as ''Hentschikon''. During the Middle Ages, the major landowners in Hendschiken included Muri Abbey, Säckingen Abbey and St. Urban Abbey as well as the Counts of Lenzburg and Habsburg. In the 14th century most of the land went to the Habsburg owned Königsfelden Abbey. The right to administer low justice was acquired between 1264-1273 by the Lords of Hallwyl, who held it until 1798. In 1415 the village came under the control of Bern and became part of the Lenzburg district (german: Oberamt Lenzburg).

With the Act of Mediation in 1803, Hendschiken joined the newly created Canton of Aargau and became part of the Lenzburg district. Initially it belonged to the Staufberg par ...
