Fünflibertal
There are various explanations for the origin of the nickname Fünflibertal . As a five-franc coin in Switzerland is five-franc piece called. The Swiss Idioticon gives the following explanation:
«The Reigoldswyler Valley in BsL. was called Fünflibertal because of BsStdt with five francs against the new government of BsL. should have been stirred up. "
In contrast, there is also an explanation that the name comes from the time of silk ribbon weaving in the 19th century. At that time, a large part of the valley's population earned their living by weaving silk ribbons. These were sold to Basel . Since the valley population was skeptical of the paper banknotes, they only accepted five-layered pieces from the Basel silk gentlemen, from which the valley name was derived. Today the name Fünflibertal is used for tourism.
