Switzerland federal republic in Central Europe

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a country situated in western, central, and southern Europe. It consists of 26 cantons, and the city of Bern is the seat of the federal authorities. The sovereign state is a federal republic bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning a total area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8.5 million people is concentrated mostly on the plateau, where the largest cities are to be found: among them are the two global cities and economic centres Zürich and Geneva.

It was first recorded in 827 as Marinwilare.

The municipality also contained the villages Breite, Ghürst, Himmenreich and Langnau. It had 357 inhabitants in 1850, which decreased to 274 in 1900. It then increased to 461 in 1950, 579 in 1970 and 622 in 1990.

In 1995 the municipality was incorporated into the larger, neighboring municipality Affeltrangen.
