Triesenberg


Triesenberg is a municipality in Liechtenstein with a population of 2,636. Its area of 30 square kilometres (12 sq mi) makes it the largest municipality in Liechtenstein. The center of the municipality rests at an elevation of 884-1,000 metres (2,900-3,281 ft).

Triesenberg is noted for its distinct dialect, dating from the influence of Walser migrants in the Middle Ages, who arrived in the region early in the 14th century. This dialect is actively promoted by the municipality. The existence of this dialect is one evidence of remarkable linguistic diversity within the small Principality, as it is spoken alongside the Standard German and Alemannic dialect common to the country.
