Overview

Until December 31, 2013, Büren zum Hof was a political municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district of the canton of Bern in Switzerland . On January 1, 2014, Büren zum Hof ​​merged with the municipalities of Etzelkofen , Grafenried , Limpach , Mülchi , Schalunen and Zauggenried to form the municipality of Fraubrunnen .

geography

Büren zum Hof ​​is at 510  m above sea level. M. , ten kilometers west-northwest of the city of Burgdorf (linear distance ). The scattered village stretches in the northeastern part of the Rapperswil plateau, west of the alluvial plain of the Emme , in the Swiss Plateau .

The area of ​​the 3.4 km², former municipal area comprised a section of the central Bernese plateau. The plateau of Büren (at an average of 505  m above sea level ), which drops to the east over an approximately 20 m high terrain step to the level of the Emme with the Fraubrunnenmoos , belong to the weakly reliefed, agriculturally intensively used area . The western edge of this level also forms the eastern municipal boundary. To the north, the plateau gradually sinks to the hollow of the Schallmatt , which is drained from the Chrümmlisbach to the Limpach . In the west, the community area extended over the gently undulating landscape of the Rapperswil plateau, which was shaped by the Ice Age Rhone glacier , to the heights of Wachthaus ( 535  m above sea level ) and Buechhubel (at 552  m above sea level, the highest elevation of Büren zum Hof) and into the valley of Schattholen . In a narrow corner, the area reached west to Schöniberg ( 549  m above sea level ). In 1997, 10% of the municipal area was accounted for by settlements, 18% for forests and woodlands and 72% for agriculture.

The house groups Chapf , Speichhüsli and Dorzenmatten belonged to Büren zum Hof . Neighboring communities from Büren to Hof were Schalunen , Fraubrunnen , Etzelkofen , Mülchi and Limpach .

With 463 inhabitants (as of 2007), Büren zum Hof ​​was one of the small communities in the canton of Bern. 97.7% of the residents were German-speaking, 0.7% French-speaking and 0.7% spoke Serbo-Croatian (as of 2000). The population of Büren zum Hof ​​was 457 in 1850, compared to 319 in 1900. In the course of the 20th century, the population always fluctuated between 280 and 340 people. Since 1970 (345 inhabitants) there has been a significant increase in population.

economy

Up until the second half of the 20th century, Büren zum Hof ​​was a predominantly agricultural village. Even today, have agriculture and livestock an important role in the employment structure of the population. The Chrümmlisbach is greatly with pesticides loaded. Further jobs are available in the local small business and in the service sector, including in a carpenter's workshop, in a horticultural company and in a graphic studio. In the last few decades the village has developed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work mainly in the Solothurn and Burgdorf regions and in the Bern agglomeration .

traffic

The village is located away from the larger thoroughfares on a connecting road from Fraubrunnen to Limpach . The nearest connection to the A1 motorway (Bern-Zurich) is around 7 km from the town center. On April 10, 1916, the Zollikofen-Solothurn section, which is now operated by the local transport company Regionalverkehr Bern-Solothurn , was put into operation with a train station in Büren zum Hof.

history

Remains of burial mounds from the Hallstatt period on the Buechhubel indicate an early settlement in the municipality of Büren zum Hof. The first written mention of the place took place in 1249 under the name Burron . The spellings Buron (1266) and Bürron (1275) appeared later . The place name goes back to the Old High German word bur (house, building, apartment) and means for the houses, in the village . The addition to the courtyard has only recently been used in order to ensure a better distinguishability with towns of the same name.

At first Büren belonged to the court of the knights of Schüpfen, but as early as 1255 a large part of the area came to the Fraubrunnen monastery . The further local history is closely linked to that of Fraubrunnen. In 1375 the village was affected by the Gugler raids . From 1406 Büren zum Hof ​​was under the rule of Bern and in 1528, after the secularization of the Fraubrunnen Abbey, it was assigned to the Fraubrunnen Landvogtei in the Zollikofen Regional Court . After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Büren belonged to the court during the Helvetic Republic of the Zollikofen district and from 1803 to the Oberamt Fraubrunnen, which received the status of an official district with the new cantonal constitution of 1831.

Attractions

In the town center there are numerous stately farmhouses in the Bernese country style from the 17th to 19th centuries, which is why Büren zum Hof ​​has a place of national importance that is worth protecting. The village does not have its own church, it belongs to the parish Limpach (reformed) and the parish Utzenstorf (catholic). Two memorials commemorate the armed conflicts in the region: the memorial for the expulsion of the Guglers after the attack on the Fraubrunnen monastery (erected in 1824) and a memorial stone from 1898 for those who fell in the battle against the French troops (1798).

Alpenzeiger: To the north of the village, on the hill facing Limpach, there is a large linden tree with a hand-painted panorama from 1926. When the weather is nice, the Alps and the Jura can be seen from here.
