Place name
The name " Ried " can be interpreted in two ways: from the Old High German Riod, reoth ( clearing) or from the Swiss German Ried ( overgrown with reeds and marsh grass land ). However, it should be noted for low and Oberried on Lake Brienz, that these villages are situated on steep, sunny side and dry slopes of Riedergrates. High on Harder, Rieder and Brienzergrat also provide several corridors name " Ried ": Ried im Ringgenberg mountain, vineyards north above Niederried, vineyards above the village of Upper Ried and Gäldried, a station on the Rothorn Bahn. This Ried can not be associated with reeds, but rather with certain " Riod, reoth " clearing. This suggests the importance of using the Brienz " Ried " well to clear. This low- Ried was founded on Lake Brienz in all probability once by the Alemanni in a lower and upper Ried on Lake Brienz in an upper clearing. With the many suitable for house building dry corridors of the villages on Lake Brienz, it will have been the settlers no concern to nominate their communities after the extremely rare here so flat and swampy and useless for them Moesern.
