History
Ramlinsburg is first mentioned in 1367 as Remlisperg. It was located near the Bubendorf courthouse and belonged to the Salland.
In the 15th century, Henman Sevogel, Lord of the Castle Wildenstein (located between Bubendorf and Ziefen), was the owner of the Salland region. He passed the ownership of Ramlinsburg to the Basel Bishops.
For many years, the town consisted of just two independent farms, Ober- (upper) and Niederramlisberg (lower Ramlisberg). Today, these are called Oberhof and Niderhof. In the 16th century, a town began to develop around these two farms.
The two regions remained independent until 1926, when they were merged to create the community of Ramlinsburg.
