Bibern was a small place in Switzerland, located in the canton of Schaffhausen. It used to be its own municipality, which is like a local government area or a small town with its own administration.
On January 1, 2009, Bibern joined up with a few other nearby places: Altdorf, Hofen, Opfertshofen, and Thayngen. Together, they all became part of the larger municipality of Thayngen. This means Bibern is no longer a separate municipality but is now a part of Thayngen.
