History and economy
The history of Baggwil is likely to be closely related to the Frienisberg Monastery, 1 km to the southeast as the crow flies . The right to exercise the lower court in Baggwil, following the general development of the Cistercian monasteries in the High Middle Ages towards the pension economy , was acquired after 1250 by the Frienisberg monastery. A little later, in 1267, the Frienisberg monastery also bought the village of Baggwil from Count Rudolf von Thierstein, along with others. Finally, almost 100 years later, in 1380, the monastery sold Baggwil to the city of Bern.
It is very likely that in the Middle Ages in Baggwil, in addition to agriculture and livestock - the primary economic sector - over time, a flour mill - the secondary economic sector - was also operated. There is a sealed document from 1507 about a land sale by the miller in Baggwil to the Frienisberg monastery. Disputes about the medieval water rights for the mill in Baggwil and the decision of the court of arbitration in 1557 are also notarized. Today there is still a former flour mill from 1825.
Otherwise nothing is known about the history of Baggwil or its inhabitants in the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the 20th century, Baggwil had around 40 houses and over 200 residents.
Today Baggwil's economy consists of agriculture and commerce . A flour mill is no longer in operation.
Baggwil has had its own school since the first half of the 19th century. The village of Frienisberg also belonged to the Baggwil school district. Today, in addition to the lower level, Baggwil also houses the central upper level of the secondary school in the community of Seedorf.
