Mogelsberg: A Former Swiss Municipality

Mogelsberg was once an independent municipality. This means it had its own local government and managed its own affairs. It was a separate community within the canton of St. Gallen.

Joining Other Communities

On January 1, 2009, Mogelsberg joined with two other nearby municipalities. These were Brunnadern and St. Peterzell. Together, they formed a new, larger municipality called Neckertal. This merger helped the communities work together more closely.
