history
It is the former area of Bümpliz , to which Bethlehem and Oberbottigen as dependent places and later also the settlement of Stöckacker belonged. The incorporation into Bern was decided at the ballot box on October 5 and 6, 1918. Bern approved the merger with 7559 yes to 2901 no, the heavily indebted municipality of Bümpliz with 631 yes to 17 no.
Bern agreed to the merger mainly because there was a lot of space for settlement development. A modernization and the connection to the infrastructure of the city was accomplished quickly. As a result, larger housing estates were built in Stöckacker, Bümpliz and Bethlehem - also with high-rise buildings and prefabricated buildings. In 1958, the then school director Paul Dübi (FDP) noted: "The indigenous population of Bümpliz is likely to perceive the development that has taken place in their area in such a short time with divided feelings. They will have to strive for the change from the cozy village settlement to the sober, matter-of-fact city. " This process is still ongoing.

Whereas the “workers' quarter” used to be shaped by social democrats , today the SVP scores two and a half times as strong as the urban average and other bourgeois-conservative, right-wing and regal parties are above average, while the left-green parties and the FDP achieve below average results.
