Gruet, Allenwinden
bei Baar
Notes from booklet "Die Korporationsbuerger von Baar", Ph.
Andermatt, Baar, 1908:
P 61: Die
Korporation Grueth
(my comments in brackets)
This Korporation is different from the other ones in Baar. Gruet has
personal exploitation rights: it's not necessary to have property's in
Gruet, if you are Buerger of Gruet. This is similar to the rights in Zug,
Ober/Unteraegeri and Walchwil.
At Habsburg times Grueth was forest. Soon hunters of this lineage
cleared an area and built a house. Later nobles of Schnabelburg (on Albis
mountain), Huenenberg (In western part of Kanton Zug), Esch (?) were using
the fertile soil and were building homes and estates.
The knights of Grueth were residing in the citadel Bohlgutsch in Zug.
Obviously Grueth extended as far down as Zug. Part of Gruether's Catholics
belonged
to the parish of St. Michael in Zug (1965 Allenwinden became an
independent parish). The Grueth knights were citizen of Zug town, where they also had the right of exploiting forest and fields.
Zug and Grueth, in the Middle Ages Aegeri Zug and Aegeri, were exploiting land and
forest in common. There is a Hofrecht of Aegeri dated 1387. After the
struggles in Austria early 15th century, Zug Grueth and Aegeri
achieved full freedom.
Early 16th century there were some quarrels between Zug and
Grueth. The solution was: the citizen and "good people" of
Grueth received the right for using the Alp Brunegg (Unteraegeri) for
their cattle's and horses. Both party's should jointly observe the correct
use of their rights. A judgment for a quarrel in 1518 was based on this
compromise.
Later there was again a dispute between Zug and the Gruether's. The
Grueter's argued that Zug was mismanaging the joint housekeeping. Two
Gruether were imprisoned in Zug. A serious row followed, the forest was
destroyed, due to deliberate overuse, for 50 years. Baar, Aegeri and Menzingen were
involved in the dispute too. Since 1846 Grueth is independent. Between
1874 and 1879 there were some tough negotiations between
Einwohnergemeinde, Buergergemeinde and Korporation. Who would get which
rights/responsibilities and which properties and assets. Especially in Baar
emotions run high.
According to an article in "Heimatbuch Baar: Ursprung und
Entwicklung der Zuger Gemeinden..." by Josef Wyss,
the
"Libell" of Dec 4th 1604 shows Baar as having four
Korporationen, and "Grüt was added later".

Notes from Crest book:
Gruet, Allenwinden (Kanton Zug, Switzerland)
On the following page a extract from the local Crest-Book.
I've substituted ae.oe, ue for the Umlaut-characters
Summary:
Gruet used to be a fief from the Habsburg House. Around 1380 a
Peter V. Storch paid interest to a foundation in Zug. Documents in
Baar mention a lot of such sources off Gruet.
From the 14. Century a family name can be understood. Until after
1560 "Grueter" are named.
It can be assumed that a noble lineage in Zuerich, appearing
1363, came from here. 1711 there were 18 persons of the Zuerich families
living.
Last connections were between the Zuerich families of old faith
and the monastery Taenikon, with Diessenhofen and Schaffhausen.

In den Bergguetern Gruet um Allenwinden
besaßen die Herren von Huenenberg seit 1283 Lehen von
Habsburg. Von solchen leistete Peter V. Storch um 1380 den
Zins einer Jahrzeitstiftung nach Zug. Das Baarer Jahrzeitbuch
nennt eine außerordentlich große Zahl dieser Herkunft von
Gruet, wenige auch das von Zug, so daß sie fuer das 14.
Jahrhundert als Familiennamen aufzufassen sind. Bis nach 1560
sind sodann Grueter genannt.
Daß das seit 1363 in Zuerich erscheinende
Edelgeschlecht von hier stamme, wie Joachim von Gruet
ueberliefert, ist nicht von der Hand zu weisen. So nach einer
Kopie seiner Handschrift ueber das Altarssakrament, welche
durch die Hand eines Zuger Pfarrers in Diessenhofen in den
Besitz Zurlaubens gelangte. Auch seine Angabe, es habe im
Gruet ein «SchIoß» gestanden, mag durch einen Eintrag des
Zuger Jahrzeitbuchs von 1514 bestaetigt sein, wonach ein Turm
beim Steren im Außergruet stand. Nach diesen Handschriften
lebten 1711 noch 18 Personen der nachmals zuercherischen
Familie. Die letzten schweizerischen Beziehungen verbanden
diese altglaeubigen Zuercher mit dem Kloster Taenikon, mit
Diessenhofen und Schaffhausen.
