Deisswil bei Münchenbuchsee is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
History
Deisswil bei Münchenbuchsee is first mentioned in 1263 as Teiswile.
Some Roman era bricks and what might be a Roman road were discovered in a meadow outside the village. During the Middle Ages it was part of the court, parish and Commandry of Münchenbuchsee. In 1528, after the Commandery was secularized, the village became part of the Bernese district of Münchenbuchsee. In 1803 it became part of the Fraubrunnen district.
Deisswil and Wiggiswil formed a single school district in 1802 and have continued sharing a school since that time. Between 1832 and 1847 the two villages were combined into a single political municipality. The border between the two municipalities was finally, after centuries of conflict, determined in 1882. The village has remained rural and the only industry in the village is a gravel pit.
