Mountain shank
Bergschaft refers to an alpine corporation in Switzerland, especially in the canton of Bern .
Mountain communities as corporate communities for the management of alpine pastures exist in the communities of Grindelwald , Gündlischwand and Habkern . The area of the mountain communities does not coincide with the fairytales of the local communities. The Alpine Council or Alpine President exercises the chairmanship, the mountain clerk assumes the duties of a manager , and the treasurer carries out the financial management.
In 1404, Propst Niklaus laid down the alpine pasture conditions in the Grindelwald valley for the first time in writing in the Einunge und statunge zegrund and at the Alps Bach, Grindel, Holzmatten, Scheidegge, Wergistal, Intremen and zu Gletscher . The Bussalp Alp was excluded from this, as it was owned by the Habsburgs. In 1538, the valley people summarized existing regulations in the valley unification . The mining rights were tied from then on (until now) to the land in the valley and were not allowed to be sold to local residents. The existing seven mountain regions of Itramen, Wärgistal, Scheidegg, Grindel, Bach, Holzmatten and Bussalp were given a communal character in the early modern period, were called a municipality and paid the so-called land costs to the valley every year, and today exist as corporations under the law on the introduction of the Swiss Civil Code of May 28, 1911 (Art. 20). The valley (valley) Grindelwald is divided into the mountain regions Bussalp, Holzmatten, Bach, Grindel, Scheidegg, Wärgistal and Itramen.
