The population of Corminboeuf was 335 in 1850 and 414 in 1900. During the 20th century, the population fluctuated between 410 and 470 people. Only since 1960 (413 inhabitants) has there been rapid population growth combined with a four-fold increase in the number of inhabitants within 40 years. Today, the settlement and industrial areas of Corminboeuf have almost completely merged with those of Belfaux and Givisiez.

economy

Corminboeuf was a predominantly agricultural village until the second half of the 20th century . Much cultivated land was gained in 1850 through the drainage of the marshy valley plain of the Ruisseau du Tiguelet. Today, arable farming , fruit growing , dairy farming and cattle breeding only play a marginal role in the income structure of the population.

Numerous other jobs are available in local small businesses and in the service sector. Since the 1960s, Corminboeuf gradually came into the agglomeration of the city of Freiburg. A large industrial area, most of which is on the Givisiez soil, was created in the Ruisseau du Tiguelet valley. Today, companies from the construction and transport industry, information technology, electrical and packaging industries as well as precision engineering workshops are represented in the village. In 1990 the distribution center of the Office du Livre was founded. Corminboeuf also has an equestrian center.

In the past few decades, the village on the outer western edge of Freiburg has developed into a residential community. Extensive new residential quarters were built on the Champs de la Croix. Most of the employed are therefore commuters who work mainly in Freiburg and the suburbs.

traffic

The community is well developed in terms of transport, although it is located off the main thoroughfares on a road connecting Avry to Belfaux . The closest connection to the A12 motorway (Bern-Vevey) is around 4 km from the town center. Corminboeuf is connected to the public transport network by a bus from the Transports publics Fribourgeois , which runs from Freiburg to Chésopelloz .

history

The municipality of Corminboeuf was populated very early. During construction work in 1909 a tumulus was discovered in the Bois Murat east of Nonan, which was laid out in the Hallstatt period around 550 to 520 BC and furnished with rich grave goods, including 19 bronze plates and a solid bronze leg. There was also a villa near Nonan during Roman times . The finds that were excavated here (bricks, mosaic pieces, ceramic fragments) are dated to the period between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1142 under the name Cormenbo . Later the names Corminbou (1173), Cormembu (in the 12th century), Cormenbou (1445), Karmanbow (1449), Cormenbouf (1470), Cormimbau (1665) and Cormenbeuf (1668). The place name probably originated from the words Curtis Menbaldi , meaning Hof des Menbald / Maginbald .

Since the 13th century, the Freiburg Hospital had extensive land holdings in the Corminboeuf area. In 1442 at the latest, the village came under the rule of Freiburg and was assigned to the Old Landscape (Spitalpanner). After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Corminboeuf belonged to the Friborg district during the Helvetic and the following period, before it was incorporated into the Saane district in 1848 with the new cantonal constitution. The previously independent community Nonan was incorporated into Corminboeuf in 1831.

A merger of Granges-Paccot , Givisiez, Corminboeuf FR and Chésopelloz was in preparation until 2014 under the name "2C2G" - the new place was to be called Englisbourg (after the Englisberg family, who worked in all four places). This failed because of the rejection by the citizens of Granges-Paccot.

Attractions

The core of the Saint-Georges chapel dates back to a Romanesque building from 1354, but has since been changed and enlarged several times. Corminboeuf is part of the Belfaux parish. In the old town center, some stately farmhouses from the 17th and 18th centuries and a wooden warehouse from the 17th century have been preserved. The manor house de Weck also dates from the 17th century, while the country estates de Schaller (in the center) and de Reynold (in Nonan) were built in the 18th century.
