history
Courtyard of the Murbach monastery
The history of Buchrain is over 1000 years old. At the beginning, Buchrain was a dinghof (agricultural property for lease with landlord officials who, among other things, also collected the interest and exercised jurisdiction ) of the Benedictine monastery of St. Leodegar in Lucerne . In 840 the monastery lost its independence and became a provost of the Murbach monastery in Alsace . In 1178, «Buorren» was first mentioned as a village.
Austrian rule
In 1291 the abbot von Murbach ran into great financial difficulties and had to sell his dinghouses to King Rudolf von Habsburg . So Buchrain came under Austrian rule and was assigned to the Vogtei Rothenburg. In 1332 Lucerne joined the Confederation, many Buchrainers sympathized with the Lucerne and fought on the side of the Confederates at the Battle of Sempach in 1386. Buchrain then went to Lucerne together with the Rothenburg Bailiwick.
Trade routes, place of pilgrimage and restaurant
In the Middle Ages, Buchrain was on one of the most important trade routes through Switzerland, which led from the Grimsel and Brünig passes to Lucerne and as far as the Rhine . The castles of Nünegg, Richensee, Hallwil and Lenzburg bear witness to the importance of this trade route . In 1455 the consecration of the Buchrainer church was mentioned in a document, this led to various cloisters in the neighborhood. The patron saint against conflagration, Saint Agatha, was venerated . In 1759 the established restaurant "Adler" was opened with business rights. From 1807 to 1811 a room in the "Adler" was even used as a classroom for lessons . The school chronicle reports that Buchrain owned one of the oldest village schools in the canton of Lucerne.
Industrial development
August Bell, machine manufacturer, started an industrial development in Buchrain in 1862 with the construction of the Reuss Canal and the Perlen power station . Factories were built, a wood pulp mill and the Perlen paper mill, which is still very important today, were built . In 1883 the factory was finally connected to the rail network with the Gisikon train station .
In 1907 the first bridge was built over the Reuss and the ferry service, which had been so important up to now, could be stopped. The bus connection from Lucerne via Buchrain to Perlen, which started operating in 1928 , finally eased traffic .
