History
The oldest archaeological finds ( graves and tools) go back to the Middle Stone Age. In Ortsbebiet 2002-2005 findings of about 7,000 were made in the years to 800 BC, the Bronze Age (1800 - 800 BC ) is represented somewhat sparse, but prove ceramics, a broken carpet from Mausacker, tombs and jewels, that Reinach was inhabited even in this time. Also from the La Tène period ( 800-100 BC) were found graves and from the Roman period (from 100 BC) cremations, coins, tableware, glass vessels, and much more. A highly stylized and weathered Hallstatt grave stele from Sundgauer molasses was found in 1973 in the Hubackerstrasse.
The first written records in which Reinach is mentioned as Rinacho dates from the reign of Louis Garewart, who was from 1164 to 1176 Bishop of Basel. In 1194, it was noted that Reinach belonged to the monastery Beinwil.
At the big Basel earthquake in 1356, a large part of the village was destroyed. 1373 became the diocese of Basel in debt and Reinach was pledged to Messrs. Hannemann and Ulrich von Ramstein.
As 1501 Basel joined the Old Confederacy, Reinach remained a part of the diocese of Basel. The Reinacherstrasse had until 1511 to Pfeffingen go to church and then received their own parish with a village church. From 1525 Reinach was reformed, but returned in 1595, under the Bishop of Basel Jakob Christoph Blarer of Wartensee, back to the old faith back.
As a result of the French Revolution fled in 1792 the Bishop of Basel, and the Birseck was occupied by French troops. Under French rule Reinach was then for a short time cantonal capital of the Département du Mont Terrible. In 1800, the number of departments was reduced and the village was ruled by capital from Colmar. It was not until the Congress of Vienna of 1815, which the Birseck zusprach the Canton of Basel and the Swiss Confederation, his fate was closely linked with that of Switzerland.
While the Basel Canton separation, the dispute between the city and the countryside, the city Reinacherstrasse behaved loyal, but have been in 1833, with the rest Birseck, part of the new canton of Basel-Landschaft.
With just over 1200 inhabitants Reinach was a purely farming village even at the beginning of the 20th century. The large vineyard, which is almost completely built over today, belonged to the townscape.
Up until the 1930s, today's central campus of the community offered with the Bachmatten, the hole arable and the Weiermatt schoolhouse as wide open hallway dar. It was, as the name suggests, swampy and sometimes even passed with reeds, so that Storks also felt comfortable.
The beginning of the stormy Reinacherstrasse population development brought actually the year 1907, while the opening of the tram Basel Aesch the first time gave the lie away from the former Juratrain community rail connection to the nearby Rhine city. Reinach's population now offered on the one hand the great benefits of closer gerückten city with its diverse employment opportunities and the rich cultural offer, but on the other hand also attracted rural residential tranquility and large land reserves, more and more newcomers into Birsecker village. With the engine accelerated the pace of change from a farming village to commuter and agglomeration town even more. In 1950 the village 3'475 inhabitants, the population increased fivefold in the next three decades to more than 18,000.
