Gamprin (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a municipality of Liechtenstein, on the Rhine on the border with the municipality of Sennwald, in Switzerland. It had 1,690 inhabitants in 2019. The municipality contains the village of Bendern and scattered hamlets and the Liechtenstein Institute and LGT Group.
History
Evidence of human settlement from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages have been found in Gamprin. Within the territory of the parish there is the archaeological site of Lutzengüetle (Lotzagüetle).[1]
The name's toponymy is derived from Old Romansh camp Rin ("field on the Rhine"). It was first mentioned in about 1150 as Camporin, and in 1253 it was mentioned as Gamperin.[2]
The church, dedicated to Mother Mary, was built in 1481, but has antecedents dating back to 1045. In 1499, the village was pillaged by the Swiss Confederates. The oldest preserved village charter from 1643 describes the rights and duties of the villagers to use pastures and forests. Lower Country men swore allegiance to the Prince in 1699 at Bendern.[citation needed]
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Bendern ran one of the five ferries in the Liechtenstein section of the Rhine and connected it with Haag on the opposite side of the river, now in the Swiss municipality of Sennwald. A wooden bridge was built across the river in 1867–68.[2]
Politics
Gamprin is locally administered by the mayor and a 8-person municipal council, elected every four years since 1975. The incumbent mayor is Johannes Hasler, since 2019.[3]

Geography
Gamprin, with an area of 6.188 km2, lies in the hilly landscape west of Eschnerberg and consists of the villages Gamprin and Bendern.[2] It is a scattered settlement, and contains the old hamlets of Au, Bühl, Badäl, Salums and Gölla.[2] To the south, Gamprin borders on the Rheinau-Tentscha exclave of the municipality of Eschen as well as on Vaduz and Schaan, to the east lies the municipality of Eschen, and to the north Schellenberg and Ruggell.[4] In the west, the Rhine forms the border with the municipality of Sennwald in Switzerland.[5][6]
Gamprin has an exclave with the so-called Nendler Berg western slope of the Dreischwestern Massif.[2] It is 72.38 ha of communal forest above Nendeln and Schaanwald. Another communal forest of 40.52 ha is located on the Eschnerberg.[citation needed]
The municipality contains the 2.6 ha (6.4 acres) Gampriner Seele, the only lake in Liechtenstein.[7] It was created by a flood of the Rhine with enormous erosion in 1927.[8]
Coat of arms
Until 1950 the municipality of Gamprin didn't have a coat of arms nor an official flag. The council of Gamprin established a committee to design a flag and a coat of arms for the municipality. The yellow ribbon symbolises the Rhine and the roses were from the coat of arms of the knight Rüdiger von Limpach, who owned property in Gamprin in the Middle Ages. In 1958 the new flag and coat of arms were adopted by the municipality of Gamprin.[2][9]
Landmarks
The municipality contains the Liechtenstein Institute and LGT Group.[6] There is a winery in the municipality named Zaungässler Weine.[10]
