Name The name “Willisau” first appeared in records in 1101 as Willinesho˘wo; in 1234 as Willosowe; and in 1491 as Wilisow. The farmstead Gessers­ wil – Cozeriswilare – was mentioned in a deed of gift to the Fraumünster in Zurich in 893.

Early traces Humans came to Willisau in pre-historic times. In 1946 turfcutters in Ostergau unearthed a flint axe, and in 1963 a Neolithic flint axe-head was found in Rossgassmoos. Later, the Celtic Helvetii, who preceded the Romans, panned for gold in the Wigger river. Finds from the Roman era suggest that the Romans stayed in Willisau, at least for a short time while passing through. Towards the end of the fourth century the Alemanni put an end to Roman rule and settled in the floodplain between the Buch- and Enzi- wigger rivers. St Niklaus-Berg.

The use of the Willisau timber forest led to frequent arguments and acrimony between the town and those living outside the town boundaries. This contributed to the later separation of town and country. Gradually the town achieved a position of authority in the parish of Willisau. The mayor and town council exercised a kind of policing power in the name of the Lucerne authority. The town council also administered the lower courts (judgements concerning minor crimes such as assault, slander, illegal trading, gambling or carrying weapons). The town citizenry occu- pied a special position in private law. They had forestry rights, from which the farmers were excluded. The town citizenry had other eco- nomic advantages (labour laws, market rights, customs revenues) over those in the country, as well as cultural and social privileges, such as the school, hospital and infirmary.

Ortsprospekt_2015_E.indd 4 05.03.15 17:51 Markets in Willisau A document exists from 1330, in which Ursula of Hasenburg described the mortgage con- ditions of the weekly and annual markets in Willisau. In the following decades there were ever increasing problems with the market laws; either the townsfolk were not abiding by the regulations, or the lords of Lucerne were amending the laws. These disputes are recorded in various documents. One from 1642 set out new regulations concerning the weekly market. The markets were to be held on Saturday and they were permitted to trade in cereals of all kinds, cheese, butter, fresh and dried fruit, eggs and domestic and wild fowl. At first there were also two annual markets: one in August and the other in December. In the 18th century this fig- ure rose to eight. On the Saturday after Gallus (16th October) was the market for horses, cattle and pigs. On the occasion of the Lorenzi mar- ket, in August, “Knights Festivals” took place of foodstuffs and spirits. Industry still plays until 1798. These were, however, forbidden by a relatively minor role in Willisau’s economy, the town council “as they would only corrupt which features mainly commercial and service the youth”.

Town site The late mediaeval small town of Willisau forms a rectangle some 250 metres long, from the Schlosshügel (castle hill) in the south to the Enziwigger river in the north. The east and west ends are bounded by the tower gates.

Late Romanesque bell tower Dating from the early 13th century, the tower is the oldest building in Willisau. It actually predates the establishment of the town, and shows that the town settlement developed from the original site of the parish village. The roof of the tower has undergone many alterations. It was originally a low pyramidal shape, then a “Welsche Spitzhaube” (a pointed cupola), and since 1647 the tower has had a so-called “Welsche Haube” (bulbous cupola). The tower is the best preserved and most richly decorated Romanesque tower in the Canton of Lucerne.

Ortsprospekt_2015_E.indd 27 05.03.15 17:53 Travel with BLS to the Herzroute.

Explore the Willisau region with BLS. BLS takes you right to the starting point of your hike or to the start of the Herzroute (a signposted e-bike trail). Riding a FLYER e-bike through the hilly, pre-Alpine landscape is a very special experience.

Tips for excursions by train, bus and boat are available at www.bls.ch/excursion
