Raperswilen is a municipality in Kreuzlingen District in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
==History== Prehistorically, two fortifications existed within the borders of Raperswilen. Risi was a Bronze Age fort while Schanz was probably from the Iron Age. The modern village of Raperswilen is first mentioned in 1227 as Raperswilar. Büren and Müllberg hamlets belonged to the court of Klingenberg, while a part of Fischbach, Helsighausen and Raperwilen belonged to the court of Fruthwilen. Four houses in Fischbach belonged to the court of Hattenhausen and another six homes were directly under the Swiss Confederation Vogt in Thurgau. Raperswilen and Helsighausen are first mentioned together in 1616.
