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

[2] The village grew up around scattered farms in the marshy land near the Urtenen river.

The Abbey continued to expand its power in the village and in 1513 became the only landlord and had full jurisdiction.

However, in 1528, Bern adopted the Protestant Reformation and secularized the catholic monasteries, including Fraubrunnen Abbey.

In 1850 the Käsereigenossenschaft Kernenried-Zauggenried was established to buy local milk and produce cheese.
