Ruggell had 397 inhabitants in 1784. A bridge across the Rhine (to Salez in Sennwald, Switzerland) was built in 1929.[3]

Flora and fauna

On the north side of the Eschnerberg mountain is located the roughly 90-hectare nature reserve Ruggeller Riet, which is rich in fauna and especially in flora,[4][5] with 736 plant and 1,631 animal species occurring in the Ruggeller Riet.[6] The great biodiversity of the Ruggeller Riets includes peat moss, moor grass, Kleinseggenrieder and bogrush. At the end of May to June, the siberian iris blooms in the large parts of the nature reserve.[5] The white stork and the Eurasian curlew, which has disappeared as a breeding bird since 1997, live in the area.[6]
The Ruggeller are popularly called "Lättaknätter". The loamy soil that occurs here is called "Lätta". In the past peat was used to heat houses during cold season. This ancient tradition has increasingly disappeared in recent years.[7]
Sport
Municipality is famous for FC Ruggell, one of the best teams in the country, although it plays in the sixth division of Switzerland. In other sporting areas cycling, field hockey, skiing, and other winter sports stand out. In addition, the town of Ruggell has one of the four sports halls of Liechtenstein; the others are in Schaan, Vaduz, and Balzers.
