Laupen District


Laupen District is one of the 26 administrative districts in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Its capital, while having administrative power, was the municipality of Laupen.
From 1 January 2010, the district lost its administrative power while being replaced by the Bern-Mittelland (administrative district), whose administrative centre is Ostermundigen.
Since 2010, it remains therefore a fully recognised district under the law and the Constitution of the Canton of Berne.
The district has an area of 88 km2 and consisted of 11 municipalities:
