Olsberg, Aargau
Olsberg (Swiss Standard German pronunciation: [ˈɔlsbɛrɡ] ⓘ; Swiss German: Olschprg) is a municipality in the district of Rheinfelden in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
During the Neolithic era there was a small settlement near Olsberg. There was also a Roman farm in the area during the 1st century AD. The modern village of Olsberg is first mentioned in 1236 as Olsperg. The original settlement grew out from the courtyard of the convent. Until 1790, the convent held the low justice rights as well as the ownership of the land. With some interruptions, the part of Olsberg to the right of the Violenbach stream belonged to the Austrian district of Rheinfelden from 1330 until 1797. After 1797 it was a French protectorate and then went with the rest of the Fricktal to the newly formed Canton of Aargau in 1803. The left hand side of the stream belonged to the city of Basel from 1461 and later to Canton of Basel-Country (and now forms part of the municipality of Arisdorf).
The Abbey Church was renovated between 1670 and 1707. It was originally a branch church of the parish church in Kaiseraugst. After 1786 it became the parish church of its own parish. In 1872 it became the first Christian Catholic parish church in Switzerland.
Olsberg has an area, as of 2009[update], of 4.62 square kilometers (1.78 sq mi). Of this area, 1.58 km2 (0.61 sq mi) or 34.2% is used for agricultural purposes, while 2.77 km2 (1.07 sq mi) or 60.0% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.25 km2 (0.097 sq mi) or 5.4% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.2% is either rivers or lakes.
Of the built up area, housing and buildings made up 2.6% and transportation infrastructure made up 2.4%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is covered with heavy forests. Of the agricultural land, 10.6% is used for growing crops and 18.2% is pastures, while 5.4% is used for orchards or vine crops. All the water in the municipality is in rivers and streams.
The municipality is located in the Rheinfelden district, in the lower Fricktal (Frick river valley). In 1882 Olsberg merged with Arisdorf.
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Vert a Rose Argent and a Chief counter-compony Gules and Argent.
Olsberg has a population (as of December 2020[update]) of 356 As of June 2009[update], 7.7% of the population are foreign nationals. Over the last 10 years (1997–2007) the population has changed at a rate of 7.6%. Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German(96.3%), with French being second most common ( 1.6%) and Italian being third ( 0.5%).
