Location of the municipality

Hildisrieden ( Swiss German Höudisriede ) is a municipality in the constituency of Sursee in the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland .

geography

As a neighboring village of Sempach , Hildisrieden is located above the memorial to the battle of Sempach . Because Hildisrieden is elevated on the southern roof of the Erlosen range of hills , the foothills of the Alps with Mount Pilatus are visible from many parts of the village.

Hildisrieden-Dorf belongs to Hildisrieden . The hamlets of Breite (southwest) and Mühlacker ( 660  m above sea level ; southeast) have grown together with this . The (Seetaler-) Ron rises in the moss north of the village and flows through the village. Three other hamlets belong to the municipality: Gimmermeh ( 622  m above sea level ; 600 m south-southwest), Ohmelingen ( 656  m above sea level ; 1 km east -south- east) and Traselingen ( 680  m above sea level ; 1.5 km east) . There are also numerous homesteads that belong to the community. The highest point of the municipality is on a hill in the middle of the golf course ( 726  m above sea level ), the lowest is on the border with Rain near Gundolingen ( 588  m above sea level ).

There are only smaller pieces of forest. The Dannwald lies southeast of Ohmelingen, the Traselingerwald north of Traselingen, the Hildisriederwald borders the village to the north and the Meierholz is west of Gimmermeh.

78.0% of the municipal area of ​​699 ha is agricultural land. 11.9% are covered with forest and wood and 10.8% are settlement areas.

Hildisrieden borders on Beromünster , Neuenkirch , Rain , Römerswil and Sempach .

The population grew rapidly from 1798 to 1816 (1798–1816: + 25.2%). This was followed by a slight population decline until 1850. From 1860 to 1888 there was then a large wave of emigration towards industrialized areas (1860–1888: −23.4%). From then until the Second World War, the population grew steadily by more than half (1888–1941: +52.2%). After that there was a final, small population decline (1941–1960: −8.7%). Since then, the number of residents has grown massively (1960–2004: +145.1%). The location on a ridge and the proximity to the nearest motorway junction have brought many new immigrants.

history

Aerial photo (1953)

As tombs from the La Tène period show, the area was settled early on. It appears under the name Hiltegesrein in the oldest annual book of the Beromünster canon monastery from the years 1077/1101. The community belonged to the Habsburgs as part of the Rothenburg district . They lost control of the place on December 28, 1385 when the soldiers of the city of Lucerne burned down the city and fortress of Rothenburg. Nominally, the Habsburgs did not recognize the sovereignty of the city of Lucerne until July 16, 1394 in the so-called "Twenty Years of Peace". Lucerne only gained full control in 1415. Incidentally, Hildisrieden was not an independent municipality at that time, but formed the Berghof together with Rain and Römerswil . All these places belonged to the Landvogtei Rothenburg until 1798. Afterwards it was part of the Helvetic district of Sempach before it came to the then newly created Sursee Office in 1803 . The Berghof was dissolved by a resolution of the cantonal parliament in 1836. This resulted in the communities Hildisrieden, Rain and Römerswil in 1838 .
