The village grew up around scattered farms in the marshy land near the Urtenen river. By the 13th century, Fraubrunnen Abbey had acquired rights over the land and the right to hold a low court. The Abbey continued to expand its power in the village and in 1513 became the only landlord and had full jurisdiction. However, in 1528, Bern adopted the Protestant Reformation and secularized the catholic monasteries, including Fraubrunnen Abbey. When they secularized the Abbey, they acquired all the lands that the Abbey had owned. Under Bernese control, Zauggenried became part of the bailiwick of Fraubrunnen. It remained part of the bailiwick, until the Act of Mediation in 1803 dissolved all the old bailiwicks and Zauggenried became part of the new District of Fraubrunnen. [2]
