twintowns = |St. Margrethen (Saint Margrethen/Sankt Margrethen) is a municipality in the "Wahlkreis" (constituency) of Rheintal in the canton of St. Gallen in
Switzerland .It has 5300 inhabitants.
It is close to
Austria andGermany and acts as a border town with Austria.Currently only a normal road links St. Margrethen with Austria. As a result the town is at times clogged up with traffic before the customs posts. A motorway link has long been projected, to link the pathways to
Zurich andMunich .It is also where the A1 motorway becomes the A13 motorway.
