New Bümpliz Castle

The New Bümpliz Castle is a castle in Bümpliz , a suburb of Bern , Switzerland .

It was built for Daniel Tschiffeli in 1742 next to the now so-called Old Bümpliz Castle . After his death, the two castles went to his son-in-law Karl Stürler, and when he died in 1777 in Venlo , the Netherlands , they were sold to Abraham Samuel Lombach .

Just one year later, however, he also passed away and the castles came to Johann Rudolf von Graffenried through his wife's second marriage in 1783 . After the fall of Old Bern, he sold the New Palace in 1799 to the businessman and court governor Gottlieb Haag, who later also acquired the Old Palace. In 1825 the two castles were bought by Ludwig Friedrich von Steiger, in 1837 by Franz Karl von Tavel and in 1839 by Johann Friedrich Albrecht Tribolet , who set up an institution for the mentally ill there.

In 1848 Jakob Allemann, a pupil of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi , took over the institution and, together with his brother Benedikt, set up the Institut des Frères Alleman , a boys' education institute that existed until 1882 and earned the whole village the Bernese nickname Löffuschlyffi (spoon grinding).

After the old castle had already been turned into a non-profit parish hall in 1919 and bought by the city of Bern in 1954, the new castle was finally transferred to the city in 1977 after several changes of ownership.

From February 1, 2005, the New Palace was the seat of the registry office for the district of Bern . Less than five years later - on January 1, 2010 - the canton implemented a district reform, whereby the Bern district was replaced by the Bern-Mittelland administrative district . As a result, the previous 23 civil registry offices were merged into a new 7 and the castle no longer had the capacity to contain the grown office, which subsequently returned to the center of Bern. The new Bümpliz Palace is still used as a so-called special external ceremony room.
