Parish before the merger on January 1, 2007

Lieli is a village in the Hochdorf district of the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland .

geography

The village is located on the western slope of the Lindenberg - about 4.5 km north of Hochdorf in the Lucerne part of the Seetal . The village is traversed by the Scheidbach , which flows into the Baldeggersee . In addition to the main settlement, there are two groups of houses in the former municipal area, namely Burghof (720 m above sea level) and Berghof (784 m above sea level). The ruins of Nünegg Castle are just above the village . The majority of 68.6% of the village area is used for agriculture. 27.6% is covered with forest and wood and only 3.8% is settlement area.

population

Because of its location, the place has remained a small farming village to this day. The population decreased by 22.8% between 1860 and 1900 due to emigration. In the following two decades it grew and then stabilized for a long time in the order of 190-200 people. It fell sharply in the 1960s and remained at this level until 1980. Since then it has been growing again slowly.

Nünegg ruins

Lielae (from the Old High German name for the clematis) is mentioned for the first time in 893 in an interest sled from the Fraumünster Abbey . The Canons of Beromünster and the Muri Monastery in the canton of Aargau also owned property here. Later control of the place passed to the Counts of Kyburg , in whose name the Knights of Lieli ruled. When the Kyburger died out, the Habsburgs inherited their rights. Nünegg Castle was destroyed by the Lucerne in January 1386. The heirs of the Knights von Lieli, who died out in the 14th century - initially the Alsatian noble family von Schönau , then the Lords von Grünenberg - sold their property to the Heidegg lordship in 1431. The rule of Heidegg belonged to the Free Offices and only came to the Canton of Lucerne in 1803. Since then, Lieli has been part of the Hochdorf office .
