Nendeln is a village located in the municipality of Eschen in Liechtenstein.
Prior to the establishment of the village, the Roman Empire had a presence here. There, Villas from that time period have been excavated at Nendeln. [2]
During the War of the Second Coalition in 1799, the village was burned by invading French troops. [3] It was the starting location of 1939 Liechtenstein putsch, of the approximately 40 members of the VBDL who were intended to march towards Vaduz. [4]
The village is located in north-central Liechtenstein, on the main road Schaan-Schaanwald that links the country with Buchs (Switzerland) and Feldkirch (Austria). Villages that are closer to Nendeln are Schaanwald, Mauren, Eschen and Planken. [5]
Nendeln has a railway station on the Feldkirch-Buchs line. The station is served by 22 trains per day, 11 in each direction between Switzerland and Austria. When the next station in the direction of Austria (Schaanwald) is not used, which has been the case since 2013, Nendeln is for customs purposes, a border station for passengers arriving from Austria. Liechtenstein is in a customs union with Switzerland. Customs checks may be performed in the station or on board trains by Swiss officials. Systematic passport controls were abolished when Liechtenstein joined the Schengen Area in 2011. [6]
Political identity came to the territory now occupied by the Principality of Liechtenstein in 814, with the formation of the subcountry of Lower Rhætia.

Liechtenstein's one railway line is operated by Austrian Federal Railways. As such, it represents an exception to the more usual Liechtenstein practice of cooperating closely with Switzerland, as in the case of the principality's use of the Swiss franc as its currency and its membership of a common customs area with its western neighbour. The rail line carries international services between Austria and Switzerland, most of which run non-stop through the principality. Only one local train service stops at three of the four stations located in Liechtenstein. The S2 runs 11 times in each direction a day on Workdays connecting Buchs SG to Feldkirch. In addition, there are 9 long-distance international trains that pass through Liechtenstein. The line is also used to transport freight.
