history

Hillside settlement north of the Solothurn-Bern cantonal road. First mentioned in 1261 under Amalzeich. Finds in junk wood, Roman coin find. The landgrave rights of the Counts of Kyburg acquired in 1261 passed to Bern in 1406 , which they ceded to the city of Solothurn in 1516 . As part of the Biberist court, Ammannsegg belonged to the Vogtei Kriegstetten . The St. Ursenstift in Solothurn owned Twing und Bann . In 1478 it was partially sold to the city of Solothurn. According to Biberist, both denominations have always been ecclesiastical. Ammannsegg remained a rural village until 1950 (agrarian reform 1785: abolition of fallow grazing). Since then it has developed into a commuter and residential community in the Solothurn agglomeration with high growth rates (1950–60: 50%) and a greatly changed employment structure (1950 14% in the 3rd sector, 1990 78%). Even before the merger, various facilities were shared with wages (school building since 1812, Reformed church since 1963, Catholic church since 1971). The former Bad Ammannsegg, a mansion converted for healing purposes (former summer residence of the governor), has served as a retirement home since 1980.
