440:.For a long time, the municipality at the foot of the Hardwald forest led a rather sleepy existence. Dietlikon's foundation can be deduced from its name: Settlements with endings in "-ikon" are of Alemannic origin. The clan leader Dietilo, perhaps also called Dietelo or Dieto ("son of the people"), may have been persuaded to settle in the area of today's old part of the village by the presence of water. The name first appears in 1124 as "Dietlinchoven". Hard work awaited the pioneers. Field names such as Rüti, Rütenen, Brand, Blüttler and Stockwiesen give an idea of how space for meadows and fields was wrested from the forest. Some viticulture was also practiced early on and the rather bitter wine was used together with grain to pay tithes. Dietlikon was owned by the Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen, among others, and the church tax went to Wettingen monastery. Local historiography also mentions Count Adalbert von Mörsburg (around 1100), the Counts of Kyburg and, in connection with the castle and bailiwick of Dübelstein, the Zurich mayor Hans Waldmann.
