Risch-Rotkreuz

[citation needed] The change was made because the village Rotkreuz has become much bigger than Risch.

The municipality historically consists of the four villages of Risch, Buonas and Holzhäusern and Rotkreuz.

Of the rest of the land, 21.3% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (2.4%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (84.3%), with Serbo-Croatian being second most common (3.3%) and Italian being third (2.7%).

[4] In the 2007 federal election the most popular party was the SVP which received 34.1% of the vote.

[4] The largest firm in Risch-Rotkreuz is Roche Diagnostics International AG.
