Gertrud von Egerdon , née von Bubenberg , sold parts of her goods in Zimmerwald in 1296 to the Bernese Burger Ruf Isenhut. This in turn bequeathed his entire property in 1323 to the Johanniterkommende Münchenbuchsee . One half of the tithe to Zimmerwald was bought in 1333 from Niklaus von Lindenach to the Teutonic Order House in Köniz . The Kommende Münchenbuchsee and all of its property passed to the city ​​of Bern in 1529 . From then on, Zimmerwald and Obermuhlern were possibly under city court.

Ulrich Glanzmann owned a farmstead with tithes in Zimmerwald in 1583, which included a mat with a stick (permanent house). In 1599 this property went to Peter Tribolet , Mr. zu La Lance and Kastlan zu Wimmis . After his death in 1622, Bern took the manor house and sold it in 1639 to the master tanner Abraham von Werdt , Mr. zu Toffen . Abraham von Werdt, who was third in marriage to Elisabeth Andreae, granddaughter of the Palatinate Bible translator Johannes Piscator , had the cane expanded. In 1671, Werdt's daughter Elisabeth Jenner inherited the Zimmerwald estate and acquired additional fields and rights. After her death, Zimmerwald went to her son-in-law Johann Friedrich Steck , bailiff of Frienisberg, in 1717 to his son of the same name and in 1726 to Abraham Steck, building authority clerk. He bequeathed the property to his grandson Daniel Wyttenbach . Wyttenbach's widow took the Zimmerwald estate to her second husband Friedrich Bernhard Indermühle in 1861. Indermühle built the villa and guest house Beau Séjour next to the Schlössli, but in 1864 he had to pledge the Schlössli. Friedrich Berger bought the estate in 1895 to separate the Schlössli and the estate. The Schlössli often changed hands again, several times as a result of bankruptcy. Various parties now acquired the house, in 1917 the landlords Robert Streit and Rudolf Guggisberg took over it alone. The latter's daughter received the entire property in 1951/57 and bequeathed it to her children.

construction

The so-called Schlössli is likely to have been built in its present form in the second half of the 16th century. This is indicated by the door walls and preserved boll friezes on the first floor. The hexagonal stair tower was added in 1641, possibly at the same time as the perimeter wall south of the house. The house underwent renovations in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially inside, which has a pilaster panel in a room on the first floor from around 1730. The east facade includes an 18th century dovecote.
