The beginnings of the community of Sutz-Lattrigen go back to the pile dwelling period. Numerous finds of all kinds of objects testify that large pile dwellings already existed in early times . Little is known about Sutz-Lattrigen from Roman times and the early Middle Ages. The place name first appears in a document at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 13./14. In the 19th century, the noblemen von Sutz were among the first ministerials of the Counts of Neuchâtel-Nidau. 1388-1393 Sutz-Lattrigen was slammed with Nidau ​​to Bern. The two settlements of Sutz and Lattrigen maintained close contacts with the villages on the north shore of Lake Biel until the new traffic routes were built in the 19th century and traded with them. The port of Lattrigen was a considerable transshipment point for the wine that was shipped to Bern.
