history
Today's Hauptstrasse 236 is part of the historical road connection Bern - Aarberg (- Neuchâtel / - Nidau), which is part of the IVS - inventory of historical traffic routes in Switzerland - and had regular mail traffic with stagecoaches as early as the second half of the 18th century.
The extension of the Aarberg - Bern route to a road constructed according to the state of the art of engineering at the time - an artificial road, then known as Berner Chausée - took place in the years 1740–1745. The route was one of the first modes of transport that was planned and implemented in the Bernese Republic as part of the extensive road network.
The route of Hauptstrasse 236 is largely identical to this historical road connection from the 18th century, with the exception of the Aare crossing. The roots of this route, however, go back even further, at least as far back as the high medieval period of the Frienisberg Monastery , as its connection route to Aarberg and Bern. - Until the opening of the Halen Bridge in 1913, the Aare crossing led over the 800 m upstream Neubrügg for almost 450 years .
The IVS - inventory of historical traffic routes in Switzerland - is kept by FEDRO .
