history
The area of Bickigen (1261/63 Bicchingen) in the Wyniger dry valley with Schwanden in an elevated position on the hill, located in the political municipality of Wynigen , belonged to the Burgundian royal court and parish of Kirchberg , which came to the Selz monastery in Alsace in 994 . In the 13th and 14th centuries, Bickigen-Schwanden was part of the Kyburg district of Gutisberg. In 1402, the city of Burgdorf acquired lower court and goods in Bickigen and Bickigenmoos from Kyburg, and later subordinated Bickigen as part of the Heimiswil court to its bailiwick of Grasswil (high court part of the Bernese bailiff of Burgdorf). The Meierhof Bickigen (after 1555 municipal Lehenhof) received grazing and timber usage rights in the neighboring forests of Burgdorf in 1482, but had to tolerate his cattle on the Bickigen pasture. In 1550 Bickigen was "no longer a hoff", but in 1764 it grew to 106 inhabitants with Schwanden. In 1688 Bickigen-Schwanden, Hofholz and until 1704 Gutisberg formed a poor tax community, and from 1832–1910 the political community of Bickigen-Schwanden. This was ecclesiastically and politically united with Wynigen in 1911 (147 inhabitants). The Bickigen substation of BKW has been a hub in the Swiss-European network since 1928.
