Hasliberg is a Swiss municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern.
Hasliberg is situated on a south-west facing terrace above the valley of the river Aare.
The four villages spread out along this terrace are, from west to east, Hohfluh, Wasserwendi, Goldern and Reuti.
[3] A few, scattered Roman coins were found in the municipality, but the earliest known settlement dates back to the Middle Ages.
During the Middle Ages Hasliberg was part of the Vogtei of Oberhasli and the parish of Meiringen.
Beginning in the 14th century they began to mine iron ore from the surrounding hills and mountains.
[3] In 1528 the municipality, along with the entire Canton of Bern, adopted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation and the chapel in Wasserwendi was demolished.
The oldest Bäuert charter dates from 1555 and defines obligations and work assignments as well as meadow borders and grazing schedules.
The current municipality was created in 1834 by combining the land and residents of several Bäuerten.
However, limited arable land forced many residents to take up cottage industries such as silk or linen weaving or wood carving.
Construction of the Brünig railway line in 1888 and the road over to Meiringen in 1890 provided an influx of money and tourists.
The Health Spa Brünig-Hasliberg opened in Hohfluh and by 1912 there were over 600 hotel rooms in the municipality.
The Schweizer Glaubensmission (Swiss Faith Mission) acquired the Bellevue in Hohfluh.
Today tourism revenue provides the majority of the municipal income.
[3] The main inhabited area of Hasliberg is situated on a south-west facing terrace above the valley of the river Aare, at an approximate altitude of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
[7] The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Or four Mullets Gules in cross over a Mount of 5 Coupeaux Sable.
[10] Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (1,146 or 89.8%) as their first language, English is the second most common (45 or 3.5%) and Albanian is the third (16 or 1.3%).
In 2011, single family homes made up 43.5% of the total housing in the municipality.
The number of jobs in the primary sector was 82, of which 75 were in agriculture and 8 were in forestry or lumber production.
In the tertiary sector; 20 or 4.5% were in wholesale or retail sales or the repair of motor vehicles, 62 or 13.9% were in the movement and storage of goods, 138 or 30.9% were in a hotel or restaurant, 5 or 1.1% were technical professionals or scientists, 67 or 15.0% were in education and 120 or 26.9% were in health care.
[24] From the 2000 census[update], 920 or 72.1% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church, while 150 or 11.8% were Roman Catholic.
