Mörigen is a municipality in the Biel/Bienne administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

[3] During the Bronze Age the lake shore near modern Mörigen was home to a large Urnfield culture stilt house settlement, which probably reached its peak during the 9th century BC.

Willow wickerwork, straw, grain and plants provide an insight into how they lived and what they ate.

Today there are about 1,400 bronze artifacts from Mörigen in Swiss museums along with a number in foreign countries.

The artifacts include 13 swords or fragments of weapons, tools, jewelry, horse bridles and crescent shaped razors based on a northern Italian style.

[3] During the Roman era there was a small settlement at Grens and possibly a villa at Eyacker.

[3] During the Middle Ages, the Mörigen region was part of the Herrschaft of Nidau.

It was probably administered by the ministerialis (unfree knights in the service of a feudal overlord) family of Mörigen.

In 1398 the entire Inselgau region of the Herrschaft of Nidau, including Mörigen, was acquired by Bern.

When Mörigen adopted the Protestant Reformation in 1528, along with the rest of Bern, it became part of the Täuffelen parish.

[3] For much of its history, the major industries in Mörigen were raising grain, tending vineyards and fishing.

Its population began to grow in the 1960s with the completion of a road to Biel along the lake shore.
