Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Oberburg

The municipality of Oberburg is located at the transition from the hilly lower Emmental to the lower Central Plateau. The main settlement area is concentrated in the western valley floor of the Emme and at the entrance of the Unterbergental. The earlier floods of the Emme shaped the structure of the village into the 19th century. Oberburg is first mentioned by name in 1240. The name comes from the fact that, in contrast to the upper castle (Oberburg), there was still a lower castle (Burgdorf). The location of the old village center on the gently sloping slope of a foothill of the Rothöhe enabled a spatially exciting staggering of the individual buildings. With this original church village, which is not affected by the new buildings that have emerged in recent times, Oberburg was able to preserve a remarkable ensemble with a building structure that dates back to the 15th century. The church was built in 1497 and decorated inside with beautiful frescoes from 1517. The Oberburger were free farmers until the post-Middle Ages. The Zähringer and after them the Kyburger were for a short time the lords of Oberburg. Following the Kyburg Wars, Oberburg and Burgdorf were transferred to Bern. Up until the 17th century, Oberburg's relationship with Burgdorf and Bern was more or less in order. The constant disadvantage of the small upper castle was expressed in 1653 in an uprising against Burgdorf, which however failed. Industry found its way into Oberburg as early as 1672 with the establishment of the hammer forge. In the 18th century, other businesses were established. The 19th century brought the big boost: the founding of a weaving mill, three foundries, three wood processing companies, a factory for agricultural machinery and a brickworks. Some of these still exist today.
