Strättligen

Strättligen is a former municipality of the Swiss Canton of Bern , since 1920 incorporated into the municipality of Thun . Its area accounts for roughly the southern half of the territory of present-day Thun municipality, including the districts of Scherzligen, Dürrenast, Neufeld, Allmendingen, Buchholz, Schoren, Gwatt.
The municipality consisted of a group of villages in the possession of the von Strättligen noble family, named for their home castle of Strättligburg, who during the 13th century ruled over much of the western Bernese Oberland. Strättligburg was destroyed by the Bernese in 1332, and the Strättligen possessions passed to Bern in 1594, administered by the Oberhofen reeve from 1662. The site of the ruined castle is now marked by the Strättligturm, a tower constructed in 1699. The municipality became destitute in the early 20th century and was forced to request its incorporation into Thun in 1920.
