The fallow church field was acquired by the civic community of Bern in 1856 . The prerequisite for building development was the construction of the Kirchenfeld Bridge as a connection with Bern in the size at that time.

The Kirchenfeld developed into a district for the more affluent classes. Even today it houses many representative buildings (embassies, villas) and most of the relevant museums in the city of Bern ( Historical Museum , Natural History Museum , Alpine Museum , Art Gallery , Museum for Communication Bern ...).
