Excerpt (in translation): The Sternen, an old half-timbered house that was used as a community center from 1795, is still fairly well anchored in the collective memory of the community. To this day, many residents, especially older ones, know the venerable building, which was demolished in 1964. The importance it is considered to have is shown, for example, by the image of the building in a 1990 calendar or its symbolic mention in the inaugural speech by residents' council president Urs Schüpbach in 2023. Today, there is an information board including the old bell at its former location. 60 years after demolition, the question arises whether this piece of historical and architectural heritage could not be used profitably.(Submitted on August 29, 2024.)
