history

Archaeological finds indicate an early inspection and settlement ( Steinbeil 4000–3300 BC / Dragon Hole, Rotzberg 1800–800 BC). The first (wooden) buildings on Rotzberg have been documented for the 11th century, later a castle followed, which can now be visited as the Rotzberg castle ruins . In the land register of the Muri monastery and the Engelberg monastery , goods in the municipality are mentioned (around 1150 and 1190). In 1389 the place was first mentioned as Ürte Ennetmoos.

In 1798, Ennetmoos was the battlefield of the French army's war against Nidwalden , with the chapels of St. Jakob, St. Leonhard (built 1616, 1717) and St. Magnus (built 1672) as well as numerous houses and stables being destroyed. The churches were rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century.

1941-43 took place the amelioration 1946-47 the Dragon Ried level that had been drawn in 1919 as a reservoir consider a merger goods.

population

Population development

The population did not grow in the second half of the 19th century despite a high birth surplus . Migration to more industrialized communities was the main reason. Between 1900 and 1970 there was a steady increase in the population (1900–1970: + 41.5%), but at a moderate pace. Since 1970 the population has grown rapidly. It doubled in less than forty years (1970–2010: +110.3%). However, the number of inhabitants has only grown slightly since 2010. The reason for the rapid population growth was the improvement in public transport and, above all, the construction of the A2 . The community also became attractive for commuters because of its proximity to the Nidwalden capital, Stans, and the low building land prices.

languages

The population speaks a highly Alemannic dialect. Nidwalden German is still widely spoken. Almost the entire population speaks German as the everyday language. At the last census in 2000, 94.8% said German, 1.4% Serbo-Croatian and 1.1% Italian as their main language.

Religions - denominations

The population used to be fully members of the Roman Catholic Church. The denominational relationships in 2000 still show the original structure despite the mixture. 1,458 people were Catholic (77.76%). There were also 11.63% Protestant and 0.53% other Christians, 2.19% Muslims and 5.12% non-denominational. 50 people (2.67%) did not provide any information about their creed. Until a few decades ago, almost the entire population was Catholic. The secularization of the church and the strong immigration from other parishes and abroad has led to a rapid increase in other confessional groups in Ennetmoos.

Origin - nationality

At the end of 2017, 1,941 (90.41%) of the residents were Swiss nationals. Most of the immigrants come from Central and Western Europe (Germany 74, Austria and Great Britain 8 people each), Southern Europe (Italy 24 and Portugal 10 people), Turkey (14 people), Ukraine (8 people), Eritrea (13 people) , Sri Lanka (6 people) and the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina 5 and Kosovo 4 people). At the 2000 census, 1,756 people (93.07%) were Swiss citizens; 56 of them had dual citizenship.

age structure

The church has a high proportion of middle-aged people. While the proportion of people under the age of twenty makes up 21.24% of the local population, 21.70% are seniors (60 years and older). The largest age group is now between 45 and 59 years. In 2000 it was still in the 30 to 44 age group. The reason for this is the aging of the baby boomer generation (born up to 1965). For every 100 people of working age (20–64 years; 1365 people) there are 33 young people (456 people) and 24 people (326 people) of retirement age.

The current age distribution is shown in the following table:

Age 0–6 years 7-15 years 16-19 years 20-29 years 30–44 years 45–59 years 60–79 years 80 years and more Residents

The aging increases. A comparison with the year 2000 proves this. The last census in 2000 showed the following age structure:

Age 0–6 years 7-15 years 16-19 years 20-29 years 30–44 years 45–59 years 60–79 years 80 years and more Residents
number 185 236 121 242 490 361 209 31 1875
