Rümlingen [ ˈrymlɪŋən ] ( Swiss German : Rümlige , [ ˈrymlikə ]) is a municipality in the district of Sissach in the canton of Basel-Landschaft in Switzerland . Not to be confused with the Bernese municipality of Rümligen .
geography
Rümlingen is located in the Homburgertal, in the southeast of the canton of Basel-Country. The community borders in the north on Gelterkinden , in the east on Rünenberg , in the south-east on Häfelfingen , in the south-west on Buckten and in the west on Wittinsburg .
history
In the early Middle Ages, a St. Georgs chapel was built in Rümlingen , which was subordinate to the parish of Sissach. As part of the Homburg rule, the village became episcopal in 1305 and Basler in 1400. In 1501 Rümlingen became more important when it became an independent parish with the attachment of the villages of Buckten, Häfelfingen, Känerkinden and Wittinsburg; The late Gothic parish church of St. Georg today also dates from this period . The rectory was built in 1667. In 1803 Rümlingen came to the Sissach district.
coat of arms
The coat of arms shows the knight St. George with a red halo and in blue armor on a golden background . He stabs a black dragon with the red spear.
St. George is the church patron and reminds with the colors gold and black of the former belonging to the Counts of Homburg.
Surname
The name Rümlingen, which is first reliably recorded as Rúmlikon (1358) and Rimlikon (1359), is made up of a name such as Romolus , Rumali or * Rumilo , the place name suffix -ing- (for example, 'among the people named') and the Old high German noun hof 'Hof, possession' together. The locative used dative singularis * -ikovun (<* - ing-hovun) became - (i) kôn under the secondary tone of the common form in neighboring Aargau and in the cantons of Zurich and Lucerne , which leads to the current dialect pronunciation; the current spelling Rümlingen has probably only appeared recently.
traffic
The community has a train station on the old Hauenstein line from Sissach via Läufelfingen to Olten . Rümlingen is also connected to Sissach via the main road and to Olten via the Untere Hauenstein .
