Schwende Honors Schnetzler Family with New Street Name in 2026

A new street in Schwende municipality will soon bear the name Schnetzlers. The decision comes from the Schwende-Rüte District Council, following discussions with local groups. The change will take effect in early 2026, applying to both the newly built road and existing properties in the area. The street, part of a developing news area in the Steinegg district, was named to honor the Schnetzler family, a local legacy recognized for historical importance. The Schwende-Rüte District Council worked alongside the Cantonal Nomenclature Commission to finalize the decision. From 2026, the street's new name will appear on maps, postal services, and official records. Residents and businesses in the Steinegg district will need to update their addresses accordingly. The council's decision ensures the Schnetzler name remains part of the community's identity.
