Dagmersellen ( Swiss German Dammerselle [ˈdamːərseɫːə] ,) is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Lucerne . It is in the constituency of Willisau .

The old municipality of Dagmersellen was territorially distinctive on January 1, 2006 through the merger with the former municipalities of Buchs and Uffikon, increasing its population by around a third.

geography

Dagmersellen is located in the Swiss plateau on the banks of the Wigger . The community borders in the west and north on Reiden , in the east on Triengen , in the north-east on Knutwil , in the south-east on Mauensee , in the south on Wauwil , Egolzwil and Nebikon and in the south-west on Altishofen .

history

The place name Dagmersellen is a combination of the Old High German male personal name Dagemar, Tagemar with the Old High German generic word salida "Herberge , Behausung " and means "with the dwellings of Dagemar" - which referred to an early Alemannic settler. The oldest forms recorded in writing are several centuries younger and are Tagmarsellen (1070-1090, later copy), in Tagemarsseldon (1173) and Tagemarsselidon (1223).

Dagmersellen entered history in 1076. At that time the greater part of the village belonged to the barons of Wolhusen , who had other possessions in the Wiggertal. Together with other nobles, they secured the border against the Burgundian Empire with castles. During this time, a wooden castle was probably built on the Gäitschiflüeli. Baron Seliger entered Einsiedeln as a monk and bequeathed his estates in Dagmersellen, Ettiswil, Wauwil and Egolzwil to the monastery in the Dark Forest.

At the hermit Dinghof , the abbot, or his deputy, held court twice a year. In 1334, Hans Waldmann, Zurich's mayor, served as a hermit canon in Tagmarsellen.

In 1262 Abbot Heinrich granted the bailiwick of the Dinghof to the nobles of Trostberg. They also owned some estates and a moated castle in the community (today the Steiner family's farm on Kreuzbergstrasse, where the former moat can still be seen on the east side). This castle must have been destroyed in the time before the Sempach War. On May 18, 1679, the reclusive goods came to Lucerne. This rounded off the Lucerne possessions in the northwestern part of the canton. In August 1798 Dagmersellen was occupied by the French army.

The 19th century is the time of industrialization. In 1858 Hermann and Carl Senn von Zofingen opened a silk ribbon weaving mill with 96 looms in Sagen . An art mill followed in 1865, and three years later a cotton weaving mill was built on the municipal boundary.

The direct main road Dagmersellen – Reiden was laid out in 1849. The construction of the Centralbahn in 1855 brought about a big change for the village. In 1980 the A2 motorway was opened and brought the village a noticeable relief from through traffic.

On January 1, 2006, the neighboring communities of Uffikon and Buchs were incorporated into Dagmersellen. At the end of November 2004, the electorate in the three municipalities clearly approved this step: In Dagmersellen with 960: 263 votes (participation 56.4%), in Uffikon with 306: 52 (73.3%) and in Buchs with 196: 16 ( 78.9%).
