Birwinken
Birwinken is a municipality in the district of Weinfelden in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland. History Birwinken is probably first mentioned in 822 as ''Wirinchova''. In 1275 it was mentioned as ''Birbichon''. In the 14th Century, Birwinken and Dotnacht formed a distant part of the ''Herrschaft'' of Spiegelberg near Weingarten. Due to its location away from the rest of the ''Herrschaft'' it was sold to a number of other owners, before it was sold by the Muntprat family of Constance, in 1640, to the city of Zurich. The low court of Birrwinken became part of the property of the Vogt of Weinfelden in 1649. Through the court, the village remained tied to Weinfelden until 1798.

By 1400, the parish was under the Augustinian monastery in Constance, and until the Protestant Reformation in 1529, was overseen by a monk. The church became a Reformed parish which ...
