Meiringen, Administrative district in Interlaken-Oberhasli, Switzerland.
Meiringen sits at the intersection of mountain passes in the eastern Bernese Oberland region, surrounded by settlements including Balm and Brünigen.
The settlement, first documented in 1234 as Magiringin, developed into a regional trade center due to its position along mountain pass routes.
The Church of St. Michael, constructed in the 15th century after a flood destroyed its predecessor, represents the religious heritage of Meiringen.
The Meiringen-Interlaken Ost railway line provides direct connections to major Swiss cities, with service resuming in November 2024.
The municipal coat of arms displays a black eagle against a yellow background, reflecting its historical connection to the imperial heraldry.
