History

Lampenberg was first mentioned in writing in 1226. The place is considered a late Alemannic settlement dating from the 6th or 7th century. Traces of a Neolithic flint mine were discovered in Stälzler Forest in 1989. Flint from Stälzler was used to make axes, blades, arrowheads, scrapers, burins and drills.

In the Middle Ages, Lampenberg had a chapel dedicated to Saint Verena; in 1532, it was converted into a residential building.
