Today's area was populated by humans early on; The first evidence is found in Celtic graves that were excavated on today's Morgenstrasse. The recently discovered manor, which came to light during renovations, dates from Roman days. The name of the village is first recorded in 1016 as Pimpenymgis and 1235 as Bimplitz . A church dedicated to Saint Mauritius has existed there since the 7th century, and from the 9th century onwards a high Burgundian royal court with a wooden fortification was built in the vicinity, where the old Bümpliz Castle now stands. In 1742 the new Bümpliz Castle was built next to it . In the 19th century, this housed a boys' education institution, which earned the whole village the Bern German nickname " öffelschlyffi " (spoon grinding). The castle now serves as the registry office for the district of Bern.

In 1860 Bümpliz received a train station (today: Bern Bümpliz Süd) on the Bern-Balliswil line (1862 to Lausanne ) opened in the same year and a second on the Bern-Neuchatel line (today: Bern Bümpliz Nord) in 1901 . Between 1900 and 1910 the population grew from 3323 to 5286. The village ran into financial difficulties and in 1907 negotiations began to incorporate it into the city of Bern, where many of the new residents worked. The events at that time were described by Carl Albert Loosli , the "Philosopher of Bümpliz", in the novel A village died .

In 1919 the incorporation was completed. In the following years, numerous industrial and commercial enterprises settled in Bümpliz, and several high-rise quarters have been built here since the 1950s, for example the Neuhaus, Tscharnergut , Schwabgut or Gäbelbach developments , which shape the image of the district and are unique in the Swiss architectural landscape. The site of today's Bümpliz cemetery, laid out at the end of the 19th century, was expanded from 1987 to 1994 with the assistance of the artist Schang Hutter and, since 2003, has been the last of the three cemeteries in Bern to have its own abdication hall and an aesthetic urn wall.

For the first time the name Bümpliz was included in the song Bümpliz – Casablanca (1989) by the band Züri West in the music world. Since 1996 the district has become known nationwide through the song W. Nuss vo Bümpliz by Patent Ochsner .

Development

Bümpliz, together with neighboring Bethlehem, has one of the most important architectural landscapes of post-war Switzerland. When Bern had over 100,000 inhabitants for the first time after the Second World War, new living space urgently had to be created, and so building consortia and the city of Bern bought many of the large Bernburg country estates in what is now district VI, in order to initially build large single and multi-family houses such as z. B. the Bethlehemacker and the Meienegg , later also large-scale residential developments such. B. the Tscharnergut or the Kleefeld to build.

The expansion of Bern (17,000 new residents are planned by 2030) is also to take place in the west, by building more apartments "on the greenfield" in addition to densification. Niederbottigen seems intended for this , which belongs to Bümpliz in the western part. The good transport links from Brünnen on the adjacent Bethlehem side of the railway line seem to be an argument for this.

population

In 1990 there were 17,216 people living in Bümpliz (33,509 in the entire VI district), in 2009 it was only 15,832 (or 31,380), whereby in 2010 the population increased again to 16,057 (32,405 ) has increased.

With 28.9% of the population being foreigners, there is great cultural and ethnic diversity. In terms of numbers, Italy (816 people) are most strongly represented, followed by Germany (392) and Macedonia (390).

38% of all Spaniards living in Bern also live in district VI. They form the third largest foreign nation in the city. The majorities of the four next largest nations Portugal (54.0%), Kosovo (63.0%), Macedonia (79.1%) and Turkey (59.2%) are also at home here, as are the largest groups of people from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Poland, Serbia as well as the Slovak and Czech Republic.

Transport links

The district is very well developed in terms of transport. The BLS connects the Bümpliz Nord (Bern-Neuchâtel line) and Bümpliz Süd (Bern-Friborg line) stations with Bern. The stations themselves are connected to each other by bus route 27.

Bümpliz is directly connected to Bern train station and the Ostring by line 7 of the Bern tram . Bus route 27 also connects Niederwangen with the Weyermannshaus bathing establishment . This line runs right through Bümpliz and thus provides good access to the district itself and to the neighboring district of Bern-Bethlehem .

With the motorway connection Bern-Bümpliz / Köniz , the quarter is connected to the Swiss motorway network with the A12 .

Sports

The football club SC Bümpliz 78 has already had some successes in Switzerland. The biggest was in 1991/92 when the club in the National League B played. He currently plays in the 2nd division .

In hockey had EHC Red-Blue Bern-Bümpliz his greatest success in 1975/76 when he was in the National League B played. He currently plays in the Regio League .

Churches

The reformed church was originally built around the year 1000. After a fire in 1666, it was brought into its current form and expanded in 1678 by Abraham Dünz . The Catholic St. Antonius Church on Morgenstrasse was inaugurated in 1961. It is the successor to the church from 1927, which was demolished in 1959.

Old and new lock

The old castle dates back to a high Burgundian royal court built as a wooden fortification from the 9th century . The city of Bern bought it in 1954 and had it renovated from 1979–1980. Today the castle houses a restaurant and the Bümpliz local archive. The New Castle was built in 1742 next to the now so-called Old Castle. Today it is used as a so called special external ceremonial room.
