Interlaken
Between Two Lakes
The name is a description: the town lies between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. The Bureau has no amendment to propose. It was entered in 1133 as inter lacus Madon, the house of Augustinian canons that gave the place its name and its first register. The house lasted until 1528 and was then secularised. The name outlived the institution, which the Bureau considers the usual order of events and has ceased to find remarkable.
