History
Falisolle was one of the possessions which were ceded around 650 CE to the monastery of Fosses by Itta, the widow of the Mayor of the Pepin of Landen Palace. The locality remained in the hands of the group until the end of the Ancien Régime and designated a dependency of Liège. The advowson rights belonged to the lord of Morialmé. This advow protected and defended the community, especially religious institutions, which in turn provided the advow with a portion of their property or estate rights.
In 1219 CE, Arnold of Morialmé consolidated his privileges in Falisolle, Vitrival and Auvelais-le-Voisin in his position as advow; At the time representing one-third of the fees paid if he was called upon to collect. A 15th century record states that the Falisolle advow also benefited from the assize'staille, although he did not have a judicial role. Of those who lived in Falisolle, the Count retained right of tax and property, municipal duties and horse charges. During the creation of new bishoprics in 1559, Falisolle remained part of Liege. Henceforth, it was attached to the Diocese of Namur.

Instead, it has amalgamated both regional and provincial functions into a single "Capital Region" administration.

The Bürgergemeinde is a statutory corporation in public law in Switzerland. It includes all individuals who are citizens of the Bürgergemeinde, usually by having inherited the Bourgeoisie (citizenship), regardless of where they were born or where they may currently live. Membership of the Bürgergemeinde of a municipality is not to be confused with holding the municipality's citizenship, which, in certain cantons such as Valais, are two distinct legal concepts. Instead of the place of birth, Swiss legal documents, e.g. passports, contain the Heimatort. It is, however, possible for a person to not possess bourgeoisie of the municipality from which they originate; laws relating to these matters vary depending on the canton in which the Bürgergemeinde is located. The Bürgergemeinde also often holds and administers the common property which had been bequeathed or otherwise given to the members of the bourgeoisie. The political communes or municipalities, the parish and the Bürgergemeinde often include the same area but may be separate depending on the relevant cantonal law. With the increase in mobility since the first half of the 19th century, the Bürgergemeinde and the rights associated with citizenship in the municipality have lost most of their meaning. Today, in Switzerland there are nearly 2000 Bürgergemeinden and corporations.
