Triesen (; dialectal: Tresa) is the third largest municipality in Liechtenstein. It contains several historic churches dating from the fifteenth century. It also has a weaving mill from 1863 that is considered a historical monument. The population is around 5,275.
Geography
The municipality includes the highest point of Liechtenstein, the Grauspitz, at 2599 m above sea level. It is located between Vaduz, Triesenberg and Balzers. The municipality contains Lawena and Valüna.
History
The settlements of Triesen, as the state archaeologists have found during excavations, were destroyed in natural disasters. The detailed picture of the place Triesen shows that all settlement phases were terminated by the forces of nature. It has been demonstrated that the settlements of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age were repeatedly destroyed by floods and landslides.
The coat of arms of the municipality Triesen consists of a shield with three superimposed silver scythes on a blue background.
Politics
Triesen is locally administered by the mayor and a 10-person municipal council, elected every four years since 1975. The incumbent mayor is Daniela Erne, since 2019.
