Gurbrü
Gurbrü (French: Corbruil) is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
Gurbrü is first mentioned in 1214 as Gurbru.
During the Middle Ages Gurbrü village was part of the Herrschaft of Oltigen. In 1410/12, the city of Bern absorbed the entire Herrschaft, including Gurbrü. The village was always part of the parish of Kerzers. During the Protestant Reformation, in 1528, both municipalities converted to the new faith and Gurbrü remained part of the Kerzers parish. In 1793, it fought with the neighboring communities, in the Canton of Fribourg, over the Gurbrümoos moor. The Gurbrümoos is now part of the Bernese municipality of Kallnach. After the 1798 French invasion, Golaten remained part of the Canton of Bern, despite attempts by the Canton of Fribourg to annex it. In 1901, the Bern–Neuchâtel railway built a station in the municipality.
Gurbrü has an area of 1.86 km2 (0.72 sq mi). As of 2012, a total of 1.3 km2 (0.50 sq mi) or 70.7% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.18 km2 (0.069 sq mi) or 9.8% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.35 km2 (0.14 sq mi) or 19.0% is settled (buildings or roads).
During the same year, housing and buildings made up 7.1% and transportation infrastructure made up 11.4%. Out of the forested land, 8.2% of the total land area is heavily forested and 1.6% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 54.3% is used for growing crops and 13.6% is pastures, while 2.7% is used for orchards or vine crops.
Gurbrü lies in the Swiss plateau on the edge of the Grosses Moos. It includes the village of Gurbrü and the hamlet of Stämpflerei. Stämpflerei, until 1854, belonged to Ried bei Kerzers in the Canton of Fribourg.
Gurbrü lies on the A13; however there is not an on-ramp in the municipality. The Kerzers–Gümmenen railroad runs through Gurbrü; however, the nearest station is in Ferenbalm. From Ferenbalm it is possible, via Bern Flamatt or Bern Bümplitz, to get to Bern. Normally travellers are recommended to use the good railway connections in four directions from Kerzers.
From 1963 to 1981 there was a land improvement program to enlarge the land parcels used in agriculture.
