ROMA – Enact a community law that requires banks and financial institutions to be transparent about their dealings with the arms trade; report adverse impacts and initiate binding processes for those who wish to declare Net Zero, about zero global net emissions of carbon dioxide from human activities.

The place in the Bernese Oberland was called Aarmühle. But this name had no appeal, especially not to potential guests from all over the world. That’s why Aarmühl gave itself the new name Interlaken in 1891 – and thus became an internationally attractive travel destination.

The area between Lake Thun and Brienz has always been a sought-after place for settlement, and one would expect a long history of 1,000 years or more. But the official name of the municipality of Interlaken is just 133 years old. How did that happen?

At first the place was called Matten. In 1837, today’s Interlaken separated from the community of Matten and became an independent community under the name Aarmühle, named after the former monastery mill on the Aare. Then more and more over the course of the 19th century Guests As people flocked to the area, among other things, to climb the Jungfrau or at least marvel at it, the local community of Aarmühle wanted to rename itself, especially since the locals used to pronounce the word Aarmühle as “Rameli”. Instead of Aarmühle or “Rameli” the name Interlaken is preferred.

This new name was not an invention of a spa office or an advertising agency, but rather referred to the medieval Augustinian Priory of Interlaken, which was mentioned in a document as early as 1133 “among the lakes of Madon” was called. You have to know: The former monastery was closed during the Reformation and has not existed since 1528!

The “Rameli” officially becomes Interlaken

The use of the monastery name seemed somewhat coincidental. But of course, Interlaken was also “common” back then, as the residents’ council explained, because the district was already called that. Even the German poet laureate Johann Wolfgang von Goethe With his sense of well-sounding names, he mentioned the town of Interlaken after a trip in 1779, and the Englishman did the same in 1816 Lord Byron even.

In addition, Interlaken sounded much more cosmopolitan, more international and therefore more attractive to tourists than Aarmühle. Therefore, after the approval of the residents’ assembly, the community of Aarmühle submitted an official request to the canton of Bern on March 4, 1891 to be allowed to rename itself Interlaken.

The government of the canton of Bern then asked its governor Jakob Ritschard von Unterseen for a statement. But he took his time – or he couldn’t decide. In any case, he was warned on October 13th, whereupon the governor promised his report “in the near future,” saying that he would have to look into the story in detail and obtain further opinions.

But the government council did not want to wait any longer and demanded the report within eight days. The governor then managed to make a statement: He requested that the name change be rejected because it had not been agreed upon with the neighboring communities of Matten and Unterseen. But the government council was not impressed and approved the renaming on December 5, 1891.

The government council emphasized: “The leaders of the public books in particular must take note of this name change and use the new name Interlaken in the future.” Since then, the former Aarmühle has been called Interlaken. And the town subsequently emerged from the shadow of neighboring Unterseen and developed into the region’s leading tourism destination.

In Interlaken they did not regret the name change because it created more than just a community name, namely an actual brand. In 2016, “125 years of the municipal name Interlaken” was celebrated, with keynote speaker Peter Hollinger, former member of the Interlaken Municipal Council and Speaker of Parliament, saying: “In national and international competition, Aarmühle drew the right conclusions from this development at the time, nam
