history

Jakob Samuel Weibel: Church and rectory Stettlen in the 1820s

Aerial photo from 200 m by Walter Mittelholzer (1925)

The place name Stettlen is to be understood as a diminutive of the Old High German noun "Stat" and means "small place", "cookie". The place name Deisswil probably hides the personal name of a clan chief who, also in the 1st millennium, had gained new farmland with clearing and Schwenden.

Stettlen was first mentioned in 1146 as Stetelon , and before 1200 the place came under the castle rights of the young city of Bern.

A schoolmaster in Stettlen is mentioned for the first time in 1620 and a school building was built in 1728. The number of pupils in 1780 is given as 80 to 90. In the second half of the 18th century, most families lived directly on the yield of the land. Crafts and trades were given little attention. A new development and a profound change in the livelihood structure of the village was initiated in 1876 with the establishment of the cardboard factory in Deisswil, and the Worblentalbahn , which opened in 1913, contributed to the fact that Stettlen moved even closer to the city.
