History & geography

History

Gurbrü is first mentioned in 1214 as Gurbru. During the Middle Ages Gurbrü village was part of the Herrschaft of Oltigen. In 1410/12, the city of Bern absorbed the entire Herrschaft, including Gurbrü. The village was always part of the parish of Kerzers. During the Protestant Reformation, in 1528, both municipalities converted to the new faith and Gurbrü remained part of the Kerzers parish. In 1793, it fought with the neighboring communities, in the Canton of Fribourg, over the Gurbrümoos moor. The Gurbrümoos is now part of the Bernese municipality of Kallnach. After the 1798 French invasion, Golaten remained part of the Canton of Bern, despite attempts by the Canton of Fribourg to annex it. In 1901, the Bern–Neuchâtel railway built a station in the municipality.
