geography
Nenzlingen lies in the Laufental at 447 m above sea level. M. on the blue south slope above the river Birs . Neighboring communities are Blauen BL , Brislach , Zwingen , Grellingen and Pfeffingen BL .
history
The area of Nenzlingen was inhabited early on, as a grave was found in the Birsmatten base grotto in 1944, which probably dates from the Mesolithic (approx. 7500-7000 BC). The oldest woman's skeleton was found in Switzerland.
The crossing over the Blattenpass between the Birstal and the Laufental above the community was already used by the Celts and Romans .
The settlement was first mentioned in a document in December 1298, when the dean of the cathedral Heinrich von Bechburg gave his son Konrad land on the Bruderholz, which touched on the property of Johannis dicti de Nenzlingen . The castle on the Kuenisberg near the Plattenpass fell apart early on , probably during the Basel earthquake in 1356.
In 1408 Messrs. Hans Ludemann von Rothberg and Messrs. Ramstein became fiefs. In 1462 the Bishop of Basel acquired the villages south of the Blauen from Emperor Friedrich III. as an imperial fief and proposed them to the Vogtei Zwingen.
In 1792 the French marched into the Laufental and Nenzlingen first belonged to the Raurachian Republic and from 1793 to the Mont-Terrible department . In 1815 the village was defeated by the decision of the Congress of Vienna federally and to the canton of Bern . On January 1, 1994, in connection with the re-establishment of the canton of Jura , the municipality decided to move to the canton of Basel-Landschaft .
