  • Things Are Moving Forward at Trachselwald Castle: Swiss Mennonite Conference Concludes an Agreement with the Canton of Bern
    Things are moving forward at Trachselwald Castle: Swiss Mennonite Conference concludes an agreement with the canton of Bern For a long time the castle was the seat of the regional administration of the Trachselwald district. Since the merging of the Bernese administrative districts in 2009, however, the former official rooms and offices in Trachselwald Castle have stood empty. Figure 1: Trachselwald Castle The Conference of Mennonites in Switzerland (CMS) has, from the beginning of the discussions about the future of Trachselwald Castle (as of 2008), expressed its interest in a further use of the castle in the area of the history of the Bernese Anabaptists. At first Martin Hunziker represented the Mennonites as the then pastor of the Langnau Mennonite Church, assisted by a small CMS commission (Ernest Geiser, Hanspeter Jecker, Michel Ummel, Daniel Engel). Later, this track group itself represented the position of the CMS in various official discussions and working groups over many years: Within the framework of its available possibilities and existing competencies, the CMS has always expressed interest and willingness to cooperate. Figure 2: Door lock to one of the old prison cells in the donjon. CMS focused on three topics: a) The accessibility of the donjon (tower) with the old prison cells should remain guaranteed for the public, b) Faith and life, history and present of Anabaptism in its regional and international dimensions, but also in its relevance to contemperary challenges, should be presented to visitors to the castle in an attractive permanent exhibition (with possible sporadic accompanying events), (c) The existing Anabaptist history panels in German should be translated into French and English.

  • Hunziker: Moosleerau, Leimbach, Gontenschwil
    Hunziker: Moosleerau, Leimbach, Gontenschwil by Peter Steiner The Hunzikers from Leimbach and Gontenschwil are of one lineage. The assumption in «History of old Gontenschwiler Families», that the Hunziker progenitor of Geisshof (hamlet near Gontenschwil) came directly from Leerau to Gontenschwil, is erroneous and must be corrected. But lets start at the beginning. The place of origin of this widely branched surname Hunziker is known to be the hamlet named Hunziken, situated above Geuensee in the Luzerner Suhrental. Earlier, as far back as the Middle Ages, numerous Hunziker descendants left their small village. Travelling down the valley, they settled in Reitnau, Attelwil, Leerau, Staffelbach, Schöftland, Muhen, and yes, even in the city of Aarau. Kirchleerau and Moosleerau became a virtual Hunziker center; especially the latter. Here Hunziker rapidly developed as the main surname. After 1600 the two Leerau already counted 20 families bearing the Hunziker name. One of them was the family of Melchior Hunziker in Moosleerau. Coat of arms of the Hunziker from Notably, he was known in his village by two added surnames, as Moosleerau «Hentzman» and as «Hegi’s son». Only the second name, Hegi, was used by his descendants. Aside from this, he is the key figure in our brief Hunziker history. He appears in a Leimbach house register of 1647, alongside five other homeowners, as «Melcher Huntzigker called Heggi from Lerauw». He is identical with the above Melchior. A crucial document in the Community Archive in Schlossrued proves the precise connection between the Hegi-Hunziker branch of Moosleerau and the Hunziker lineage in Leimbach. And why is it in Schlossrued? The explanation is simple: The lords of the Schloss [castle] Rued had jurisdiction not only over Ruedertal, but also over Leerau.
