Diepflingen

Diepflingen is a small municipality in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland. It has a population of about 546 and lies in the Homburger Valley.

[edit] History

Diepflingen gained some fame during the separation of Basel-Country from Basel-City by putting itself directly under federal rule, thus proclaiming the Republic Diepflingen. The Swiss Diet (de:Tagsatzung), however, didn't accept this, and after only 9 days the Republic was renounced and Diepflingen joined Basel-Country.
