Historic wooden bridge, Büren on the Aare
Highlight • Bridge
In the course of the Jurassic conflict, Büren, as the capital of the then still existing administrative district of Büren, was the scene several times. In November 1987, alleged Béliers carried out an arson attack on the wooden bridge, which however failed.
Another arson attack led to the complete destruction of the bridge on April 5, 1989. Shortly after 4 a.m., the historic river crossing was in full fire. In order to delay the fire brigade, strangers glued the locks in the fire brigade magazine with glue. 150 emergency services from Büren and the surrounding communities fought the full fire, but were ultimately only able to save the soil structure, so that at least a footbridge could be built over the destroyed bridge shortly after the fire. The arsonists were never caught, but due to the similarity to the attack in 1987, they are most likely also to be assigned to the Béliers. In 1991 the new building, the ninth bridge, was opened to traffic

The weir, where the Aare Brügg measuring point is located, is controlled from the control center in the water and energy management office in Bern. It regulates the outflow of the water stored in the Jura border lakes, which fluctuates mainly because of the floods in the Alpine tributaries. According to an agreement between the cantons of Bern, Solothurn and Aargau, the Aare should only carry so much water that at Murgenthal a specified maximum flow rate is not exceeded, which does not yet lead to flooding in the lower reaches of the Aare. With extraordinarily heavy rainfall in the catchment area of the Aare and especially the Emme, which flows in below Solothurn, regulation is not always possible without conflict and in a timely manner, as was shown by a flood on August 8, 2007, when parts of the city of Aarau and the shore zones of several villages in were flooded in the cantons of Solothurn and Aargau.
