history
In 1218, the Counts of Kyburg received the Thun City Court and the external office with Steffisburg and Sigriswil from Zähringen property. After the Burgdorf War in 1384, the area fell to Bern. With the takeover of the counties on the left and right of the Aare , the entire area became the Thun mayor's office.
During the Helvetic Republic , 1798 to 1803, with the canton of Oberland , the office consisted only of the municipalities of Thun, Oberhofen and Sigriswil, the other municipalities remained with the canton of Bern. This situation lasted until the collapse of the Helvetic Republic , after which the entire area fell back to the Canton of Bern. The administrative district had the above municipal stock from 1863, when the municipalities of Buchholterberg and Wachseldorn were incorporated into the administrative district.
