Trubschachen (High Alemannic: Truebschache) is a municipality in the administrative district of Emmental in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

[3] The municipality grew out of a cluster of six farms along the banks of the Ilfis river during the Middle Ages.

The parishes of Langnau im Emmental and Trub both claimed the farm houses.

In 1727 the farms began to exercise limited self-government, passing laws regarding the poor and citizenship.

An einwohnergemeinde or citizen's community was founded in 1852, though it was called Innerer Lauperswilviertel until 1867.

[3] Traditionally the residents of the area raised crops on the valley floor.

In the 18th century they began weaving canvas and processing milk into cheese.

In 1875, the Bern-Lucerne railroad connected Trubschachen to the growing Swiss rail network and brought industry into the municipality.

Today tourism is a small, but significant part of the local economy and since 1964 painting exhibitions draw many tourists to the municipality.

Of the agricultural land, 5.6% is used for growing crops and 29.3% is pasturage and 15.4% is used for alpine pastures.

It consists of the village of Trubschachen and scattered farm houses along the river and up the Blapbach.
