history

The former Hölziger Ofen estate , between Sandrain and Mon Repos , at the current address at Holzikofenweg 1, owes its name to a piece of furniture that can be transformed, a desk in the shape of a fireplace . The convertible furniture had a functioning counterpart in its original location, a fireplace with a tiled top. The officer Niklaus Wyttenbach (1698–1768) came into the possession of the Campagne in 1742 and is therefore likely to be the client of the furniture and fireplace dated 1743.

The Holzikofenweg in Bern, laid out in 1875, is named after the "Campagne Hölziger Ofen". The name, artificially created in 1882, is an anachronism to Alemannic place names such as Etzelkofen, Zollikofen etc.
