Malters is a municipality in the Lucerne-Land constituency in the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland .

geography

Malters is located 10 km west of the city ​​of Lucerne . From the Kleine Emme the municipal boundary leads along the Ränggbach to Renggloch . There it swings to the west - along the heavily wooded northern slope of the Blattenberg . The largest forest areas on this northern slope are the Blattenwald , Sitenwald , Gspanwald and further west the Vogelwald . As far as the Rümlig , the municipal boundary then runs in a south-westerly direction. It then follows northwards to the confluence of the Rümlig in the Kleine Emme its stream. In the Kleine Emme it goes westwards for a short time before it leaves the river at Muffenhus and after a short north twist turns east along the Hinteren Emmenberg . At the Holzhubelhöhe ( 763  m above sea level ) it turns to the Hellbühler Rotbach in a northerly direction. After a short border line along this body of water, it goes southeast to the Thorenberg Canal west of the Thorenberg power station . Then to the Kleine Emme in the southwest and in this westwards back to the confluence of the Renggbach in the Kleine Emme.

The village of Malters is located south of the Kleine Emme on the Lucerne-Wolhusen road and has merged with the former hamlets of Feld and Schachen . The district of Blatten ( 479  m above sea level ) is 3 km east of the village. The hamlet of Rengg (4.2 km; 539  m above sea level ) is located even further to the east .

In the west of the village, on the road to Wolhusen , there are the hamlets Ettisbühl (1.5 km; 507  m above sea level ; flowed through by the Kesselbach ), Ennigen (2.3 km; 513  m above sea level ) and directly east of the Rümligbach Zil (3 km from the village; 520  m above sea level ).

A not insignificant part of the municipality is located north of the Kleine Emme. For a short time (1798–1803) this formed the independent municipality of Brunau . It consists of dozens of hamlets, groups of houses and individual farms. Except for the large Buggenringerwald and the smaller forest areas Gischwald and Brüschwald , the area has been cleared. The three largest settlements are Zinggen (2.7 km north-north-east of the village; 654  m above sea level ), Buggenringen (3.7 km north-east; 562  m above sea level ) and Brunauerhof (2.3 km north-east; 478  m above sea level) . M. ).

64.7% of the community area is used for agriculture. Around a quarter (24.7%) is covered by forest and almost a tenth (9.5%) is settlement area.

Malters borders on Entlebuch , Kriens , Lucerne , Neuenkirch , Ruswil , Schwarzenberg and Werthenstein .

population

Between 1798 and 1850 the population increased very sharply (1798–1850: +72.5%). In 1850, Malters was the third largest municipality in the canton of Lucerne after the city of Lucerne and Ruswil. In the wake of the general rural exodus due to industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, Malters lost a significant part of its population by 1888 (1850–1888: −16.6%). By 1970, there was an increase in the number of inhabitants with several strong growth phases between 1888 and 1910, the 1920s and 1950 to 1970 (1888–1970: +73.5%). The population decreased in the 1970s. The number of residents has been growing steadily since 1980 (1980–2016: + 45.1%). This growth is based on the affiliation to the Lucerne region with its strong economic growth.

languages

The population uses a highly Alemannic dialect as their everyday language. In the last census in 2000, 93.16% said German, 2.79% Albanian and 0.82% Serbo-Croatian as their main language.

Religions - denominations

The entire population used to be members of the Roman Catholic Church. This has changed as a result of leaving the church and immigration from other regions in Switzerland and abroad.

In addition, there are 4.98% non-denominational, 3.84% Muslim and 1.01% members of other non-Christian denominations. Apart from a few Bosniaks, the Muslims are Albanians from Kosovo and Macedonia. The members of other non-Christian denominations are Hindus of Tamil origin.

At the end of 2016, 6244 of the 7,108 inhabitants were Swiss and 864 (= 12.16%) were foreigners. At the end of 2016, the ten most important migration groups came from Germany (228 people; 3.21%), Macedonia (97 people; 1.36%), Kosovo (93 people; 1.31%), Portugal (56 people; 0.79%) ), Italy (54 people; 0.76%), Eritrea (50 people; 0.70%), Serbia (32 people; 0.45%), Sri Lanka (31 people; 0.44%) and Austria (18 People; 0.25%).

history

Malters is first mentioned historically around 840 in a document from the Benedictine monastery in the courtyard in Lucerne under the Latin name Maltrensi marcha (Mark Malters). In a document written in the second half of the 8th century, two nobles donated their goods in Malters to the Benedictine monastery in Lucerne. Later - before 1135 - it became the property of the Murbach Monastery in Alsace together with the Lucerne Monastery . In 1291 the Habsburgs acquired the community and assigned it to the Rothenburg office. After the Battle of Sempach , Habsburg lost control. The von Moos and later Mantzet families ruled the community. In 1477 the city of Lucerne acquired the place. Together with Littau, Malters was a bailiff from 1481 to 1798. It has belonged to the Lucerne Office since 1803 . The Lucerne government troops defeated the fleeing troops of the Freischaren on the night of March 30th to 31st, 1845 (see battle at Malters ). Since Malters, located in the valley floor, was conservative and the upper part of the village was liberal, the latter was made an independent municipality of Schwarzenberg by parliamentary resolution and separated from Malters. The Swiss family name Bucheli originally comes from Malters.
