Parish before the merger on January 1, 2010

Aeschlen bei Oberdiessbach (official municipality name: Aeschlen ) was a political municipality in the Konolfingen district of the canton of Bern in Switzerland .

On January 1, 2010, the municipality of Aeschlen merged with Oberdiessbach to form the new municipality of Oberdiessbach .

geography

The former community is a typical scattered settlement on a north-west exposed slope. It has no actual village center. Aeschlen described itself as a "small, pretty mountain community at the gateway to the Emmental". The main road from Oberdiessbach towards Linden and on to Röthenbach leads through the community, which extends over a wide area from the hamlet of Unterhaus to the heights of the Aeschlenalp .

Aeschlen-Oberdiessbach merger

The municipality of Aeschlen has had to take on many of the canton's earlier tasks since 1980, which placed a heavy burden on the municipality's finances. The precarious financial situation prompted the community to publicly call for help, which resulted in great media coverage and, as a result, significant donations. This brought the balance sheet deficit below the critical level that would have forced the canton of Bern to take control of the municipal finances. This was reason enough to clarify a possible merger of the communities of Aeschlen and Oberdiessbach . The Bernese government council supported the merger project by assuming part of the costs and providing advice.
