history

Herdern in 1970

Located near the Roman road between Ad fines ( Pfyn ) and Tasgetium ( Eschenz ), the place was already populated in the first centuries after the birth of Christ, as excavations have shown. An Erinfrid von Harderin is mentioned for the first time in a document in 1094 . The jurisdiction at that time was under the abbot city of Wil . After Herdern belonged to the rulership of the Ittingen Charterhouse , in 1501 the Herdern Lower Court was combined with the Herdern Castle (also called Barbenstein), which had been the ancestral seat of the Bettler family until 1403, to form the Herdern rule. After the structural expansion around 1601, the palace and the lordship came to the Lucerne St. Urban Monastery in 1683 , which until 1798 had the Lower Court of Herdern administered by a governor who lived in the palace. The castle belonged to the St. Urban Monastery until 1848 and was acquired by the Herdern Workers' Colonies Association after several changes of ownership. In 1895 the association opened the Herdern workers' colony in the castle for unemployed men and those who had been released from prison, as well as for so-called vagabonds . Since 1995, Herdern Castle has housed a home for people with psychological and social problems. In 2003 it had 75 residents.

The parish of Herdern was closely linked to the government. In 1331 the church set came to the Kalchrain monastery . Since the judge von Herdern remained with the old faith in 1529 after the Reformation , Kalchrain reinstated a priest in 1533. From then on the parish remained Catholic.

In the 19th century, in addition to arable farming, viticulture and fruit growing, a synthetic wool factory and a glue boiler were operated in Herdern and lignite was mined. Livestock and dairy farming emerged towards the end of the 19th century. Around 1900 there was an embroidery factory in Herdern. The castle and the more recently built single-family houses characterize the rural community today.

coat of arms

Herdern parish

Blazon : In blue with a white stake , topped with a grooved blue castle tower .

The castle tower was added to the coat of arms of the former jurisdiction of Herdern.

Herdern political community

Blazon : split from blue with a white pole, topped with a jointed blue castle tower with an onion roof and from red with a white wing ( eagle flight).

Initially, the Herdern political community had a logo instead of a coat of arms. In 2012, the local council designed a coat of arms that unites the coat of arms of Herdern and Lanzenneunforn . The new coat of arms violates the heraldic color rule . At that time, the community attached great importance to the fact that the logo or the two coats of arms of the former local communities were used in everyday life.
