Niedermuhlern is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

[3] The oldest trace of a settlement in the area is a prehistoric bronze ax which was discovered in Niederblacken.

The remains of what appears to be a Roman era wall were discovered at Sidenberg, and an early medieval grave was found on the Sandackerhubel.

By the 13th century, the portions of the village and surrounding farm land were owned by various citizens of Bern as well as the Münchenbuchsee Commandery and Frienisberg and Köniz Abbeys.

The rights to hold the low court over the village passed through several owners until 1600 when Bern acquired them.
