Täuffelen is a municipality in the Seeland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

In addition, prehistoric artifacts have been found in the Täuffelenmoos bogs near the modern village.

[4] During the Middle Ages Täuffelen village was initially probably part of the Barony of Walperswil.

The Counts held it for about a century and a half, until 1398, when Bern acquired the entire Inselgau, including Täuffelen.

Following the 1798 French invasion, Sutz-Lattrigen became part of the Helvetic Republic district of Seeland.

In 1528 Bern adopted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation as did all of its lands, including Täuffelen.

Today the parish includes the villages of Epsach, Hagneck, Hermrigen and Mörigen.

[3] Gerolfingen village had a harbor on the lake and was a local trading and fishing center.

The residents of Täuffelen grew crops, cared for vineyards on the hill below the church and fished in the lake.

The first industrial factory opened in Täuffelen in 1846 and began to change the character of the village.

The Jura water correction projects and the construction of the Aarberg-Hagneck Canal between 1868 and 1880 opened up new land around the villages and removed the threat of flooding.

While industry grew in the village, cherry orchards flourished in the farm land around it.

In 1950 a secondary school opened in the municipality, which brought in students from surrounding communities.

[7] The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure a Cypher TF Argent and a Border Or.

This is followed by three years of obligatory lower Secondary school where the students are separated according to ability and aptitude.
