Planken
Planken (German pronunciation: [ˈplaŋkn̩] ⓘ; dialectal: Planka) is a municipality in Oberland, Liechtenstein. It has four exclaves, two enclaves and a population of 473. Thus it is the least populous municipality of Liechtenstein.
The Romanic population from Schaan and Vaduz had already cleared the area of the village before the Walser migrated there in the 13th century and started clearing the upper parts of the municipality. The first documented naming was in the year 1361. The village was looted twice, first by the Swiss in 1499 when they campaigned against Frastanz (Battle of Frastanz)[citation needed] and in 1799 by the French when they ousted the Austrian forces during the Napoleonic Wars.
In 1868 the village was connected to the rest of Liechtenstein via road, making it reachable for bigger carriages. After a great conflagration in 1869 an exodus hit the village; in 1901 just 56 inhabitants remained. The situation improved due to a land reform from 1961 to 1981 and an enlargement of infrastructure.
Planken is locally administered by the mayor and a 6-person municipal council, elected every four years since 1975. The incumbent mayor is Rainer Beck, since 2007.
It is located on the western slope of Drei Schwestern. The center of the main village is on 786m a.s.l.. Additionally the plateau of Oberplanken belongs to the municipality. It borders on Gamprin's exclave Nendler Berg, the Vaduz' exclave Dachsegg and Eschen in the North, on the Austrian municipality of Frastanz in the East and on Schaan in the South and in the West.
The exclave Plankner Garselli is a former alp in the Samina valley. The Plankner Neugrütt is a cliffy forest north of the village, separated from it by a stripe of 20m of land and surrounded by an exclave of Schaan with the same name. The other two exclaves are in the Rhine Valley: Wes is a small meadow and Riet-Äscher is a marsh, both are surrounded by territory of Schaan.
Furthermore, there are two enclaves consisting of woods: Rüttistein, which belongs to Vaduz, and Schaan's Brunnenegg.
There are four alps in the municipality:
