Laufen (French: Laufon [loːfɔ̃]; High Alemannic: Laufe) is a municipality and the capital of the district of Laufen in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland. Laufen is a principal train station for the surrounding area, connecting it to Basel. Between 58 BC and 470 AD, Laufen was part of the Roman Empire; after the empire collapsed it was part of the Alemanish area for several decades. During the early sixth century, the entire valley came into the possession of France, and from 853 until 1033 it was part of the Burgundian Kingdom. In 999 Rudolf III, the childless king of Burgundy donated most of the Laufen valley territory to the Archbishopric of Basel. More information...
