Peter Stirnimann ⁷⁰

  General Notes:

Origin of the name Stirnimann? (FROM DR. JOSEPH STIRNIMANN)

The Mosluet were the people who inhabited the far region southeast of today's main station by the lake in Luzern, bordered by Tribschen and Geissenstein and by most, the region was considered abundant. This area today to a large extent goes under the name Moos. Like many people of the tax rolls from well-known locations of this area (e.g. in Horw ) they are designated: Ueli von Winkel, Heini von Langensand; in Tribschen: Werne ze Geissenstein, Ueli von Schönenbül. Then the name of the Ueli von Stirnrüti is also derived from the name of the community in Horw, which has been kept until today. Stirnrüti was a free region, and a recently revived farm, at the southwest slope of the Bireggwaldes above today's Blindenlieim. The German name researcher Guntram Saladin assumed, the family name Stirnimann occurred for the first time in Horw which was developed from the Horw name Stirnrüti. "The Stirne - as written - is the upper, forest-free edge of the Hügelhanges." Ueli von Stirnrüti no longer lived in Horw in 1352 but Heini Stirnimann a child, lived in the neighboring Moos or perhaps in Tribschen.

In the year 1385 we meet a Uelli Stirnemann in the oldest census book of Luzern. He is sponsor for a Heini Seiler in Littau, who took residence in the Luzern city walls. This Uelli Stirnemann already possessed the citizen right of Luzern, i.e. he was an established "Burger". Whether he is the same as the previously mentioned Ueli von Stirnrüti, naturally cannot be determined any longer.
