Address

Company description and purpose of company Gemeinde Eriswil

The name "Erolzwile" was first mentioned in a document in 1256. The church and the Eriswil area originally belonged to the Oberaargau possessions of the St. Gallen monastery around the Meierhof Rohrbach. When the city of Bern acquired Rohrbach in 1504, they separated the area and assigned Eriswil to the Emmentaler Landvogtei Trachselwald. In the 13th and 14th centuries, a knightly family of the nobles of Eriswil is attested. Heinrich von Eriswil was Schulthess von Burgdorf in 1336, Niklaus from the same sex in 1393 Abbot of the Trub Monastery. The neighboring Wyssachen valley also belonged to the municipality of Eriswil for a long time. In 1847 Wyssachen and Eriswil were divided into two political communities, in 1894 Wyssachen ceded the two exclaves Schwende and Neuligen to its neighboring community. In 1966 the two parishes were also ecclesiastically separated after Wyssachen had had its own church since 1947. Until the 18th century, Eriswil was a purely farming community. From 1750 the linen industry gained a foothold, first as home work, later also in mechanized factories. The trading companies of the Schmid family from Eriswil are known as the origin of the linen trade in the Emmental. In the 19th century, hand knitting was added on the initiative of Pastor Maria Gerster-Wiegsam. The Wirz company originated in Basel, buying knitwear. With the structural change in the textile industry, the canvas that used to dominate has practically disappeared from the economic life of the municipality of Eriswil. The stately former commercial buildings of the Schmid and Wirz families still characterize the town center today. Around 1900 there was a project for a rail tunnel through the Fritzenfluh, but it was never realized. In 1915, a rail link replaced the stagecoach operation. Electrification took place in 1946. For economic reasons, the bus service was switched to in 1978 and the road from Huttwil to Eriswil was simultaneously widened. In 1962, today's parish hall was rebuilt and expanded, which has meanwhile undergone some contemporary adjustments. The Leimatt retirement home was opened in 1931. The first water supply was established around 1900, which has been steadily expanded and, since 1987, completed with a groundwater well in Tschäppel. The Eriswil coat of arms: It shows a green six-mountain floating in red. The coat of arms is derived from the Barons von Grünenberg, to whom Eriswil once belonged. It has been used as a local coat of arms since the 18th century.
