Location of the municipality | |
Lutzenberg is a municipality in the foothills of the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland .
geography
Lutzenberg is located in the Appenzeller Vorderland and is the northernmost municipality in the canton. The community is divided into two parts, the larger one lies on a northern slope above Rheineck and Thal . The second part of the community is further west, on the foothills of the Rorschacherberg . Both areas are separated by the municipalities of Thal , Heiden AR and Wolfhalden . That is why the municipality of Lutzenberg actually consists of different hamlets such as Brenden, Hof, Haufen, Tobel and Wienacht. The latter two are located in the western municipal area. The lowest point in the community and also the deepest in the canton is at the Dorfhalde at 430 meters. The highest point is at 791 meters above the Tan on the road from Wienacht to Grub SG. Due to the relatively low altitude and the southern slope near Tobel, one of the few vineyards in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden is also located here.
history
Lutzenberg was part of the Kurzenberg community until it split up in 1666 into the independent communities of Heiden, Wolfhalden and Lutzenberg.
