middle Ages

In 1173 the name "Hünenberg" was first put on record with Walter (Waltherus) von Hunberg . In the 13th and above all in the first half of the 14th century , the Hünenberg knight dynasty developed into the most important ministerial nobility in the canton of Zug, with possessions and fiefs not only on Zug territory , but also in Lucerne, Aargau and Lake Zurich . The noble von Hünenberg built their ancestral castle on a previous building in the castle forest at the south-western entrance to the village.

In 1388 a Habsburg retribution raid struck the area around Hünenberg and the surrounding area. Homesteads were looted and went up in flames. The people of Zug under their Ammann Hans von Hospental wanted to take the looted property from the Habsburgs.

In 1402 Knight Göpf II was named as the last resident of Hünenberg Castle . Soon afterwards he must have left it. On January 17, 1414, Junker Hartmann VIII von Bremgarten sold Burgstall, Land, Wald and Recht to the brothers Jenni, Uli and Heini Bütler, as well as to their cousin Welti Bütler from Stadelmatt . In 1416 Hartmann and Götz II's possessions were sold to 50 Hünenberg farmers . These forefathers of the community of Hünenberg are called "comrades". On Sebastianstag they concluded a castle rights agreement with the city of Zug , which remained the main basis of political community life until the French Revolution . The «comrades» recognized the people of Zug as their masters while maintaining their previous freedoms, rights and customs, but also had the right to request a Zug citizen of their own choice to act as governor . Together with him they determined the fate of the community. Hünenberg was therefore a preferred bailiwick of the city of Zug. Later in Hünenberg residence participants were designated as sojourners that no voting and voting rights possessed. This order was valid until 1798.
