languages
The population uses a highly Alemannic dialect as their everyday language. However, the differences between the local dialect and that of the city of Lucerne are considerable. In the last census in 2000 , 95.04% gave German, 1.73% Albanian and 0.96% Serbo-Croatian as their main language.
Religions - denominations
In the past, the entire population was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. This has changed less through leaving the church - in Entlebuch, which is still very religious today - than through immigration from other regions of Switzerland and abroad. Today (as of 2000) there are 78.41% Roman Catholic, 10.96% Evangelical Reformed, 0.93% Orthodox and 0.53% Free Church Christians. In addition, there are 2.45% Muslims, 1.64% non-religious and 1.15% members of other non-Christian denominations (mostly Hindus). The Muslims are Albanians from Kosovo and a few Bosniaks; the Orthodox Serbs and Montenegrins and the Hindus Tamils from Sri Lanka.
Origin - nationality
At the end of 2014, of the 4,323 inhabitants, 4,071 were Swiss and 252 (= 5.8%) were foreigners. The population consisted of 94.2% Swiss citizens. At the end of 2014, the foreign residents came from Serbia including Kosovo (23.4%), Germany (19.0%), Portugal (5.6%), Turkey (1.6%) and Italy (1.2%). 17.1% came from the rest of Europe and 32.1 % came from outside Europe.
history
From Escholzmatt
The settlement of the Entlebuch office took place relatively late compared to other regions. The oldest documented mention of the place name as askolvismatten dates back to 1160.
The former municipal coat of arms shows a tower on a green three-mountain with flanking crosses. It is reminiscent of the former Habsburg rule and is based on a castle fortress that stood either on the Hinderchnubel or in Wiggen . The crosses make the reference to the German Knights of Sumiswald .
When the economy collapsed after the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Entlebuchers resisted the strict urban rule. In this peasant war of 1653 the Escholzmatter Christian Schybi was the military leader. When the uprising in Entlebuch and Emmental failed miserably, Schybi paid for his leadership role with his life. A memorial on the village square keeps alive the memory of Christian Schybi and Hans Emmenegger , one of his colleagues.
Another monument, which is located on the watershed of the Kleine and Grosse Emme, commemorates Franz Joseph Stalder (1757–1833), a former pastor of Escholzmatt. He is considered an important figure in Swiss cultural history and the founder of German-Swiss dialectology .
From Marbach
Around 1290 Marbach came under the rule of the Habsburgs , while it had previously been owned by the Barons of Wolhusen. The lower jurisdiction exercised the Benedictine Abbey Trub for a long time . The village is first mentioned by name in the Habsburg land register in 1306 as Marpach . Because of the dependence on Habsburg bailiffs, the Entlebuch tried to buy itself out. The bailiff Peter von Thorberg in particular made himself unpopular with freedom-loving farmers. The Entlebuchers verburgrechted each other a first time in 1385 and a second time on March 13, 1396 with the city of Lucerne . With the exception of the communities of Escholzmatt and Marbach, the Entlebuch finally came under Lucerne rule in 1405. Marbach, Escholzmatt and Trub belonged to the Ranflüh district court. Since the city of Bern had acquired jurisdiction over the Ranflüh regional court in 1408, both Lucerne and Bern insisted on their right of ownership to Marbach. Both cities only settled their dispute with the Treaty of Complete Direction in 1470. Trub fell to Bern - Escholzmatt and Marbach to Entlebuch and thus to Lucerne. Until 1798, the latter communities formed the so-called upper Entlebuch. From 1798 to 1803 the community belonged to the district of Schüpfheim, since then to the then newly created Entlebuch office .
