After the extinction of Zähringen line, Burgdorf passed to the Counts of <a href="/wiki/House_of_Kyburg" class="mw-redirect" title="House of Kyburg">Kyburg</a>. They expanded the city in 1278 with the upper-east section and between 1278 and 1300 absorbed the Holzbrunnen settlement which became the lower town. By 1300 the city had expanded to fill the town walls. Starting in 1323 there was a ban on construction within the walls, which marked the border of the city until 1800. Under the Kyburg or Neu-Kyburg Counts, Burgdorf Castle was the capital of the county, and the Counts were the mayors of Burgdorf town. </p><p>In the 14th century, the Neu-Kyburgs became increasingly indebted. On 11 November 1382, Count Rudolf II of Neu-Kyburg, launched a raid against the city of <a href="/wiki/Solothurn" title="Solothurn">Solothurn</a> to try and force the city to forgive his debts. For the city of Bern, this attack on an allied city represented an excellent opportunity for the city to break its ties with the Neu-Kyburgs. In March 1383 the Bernese-Solothurn army marched on Burgdorf. This army was supported with troops from the <a href="/wiki/Forest_Cantons" class="mw-redirect" title="Forest Cantons">Forest Cantons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lucerne" title="Lucerne">Lucerne</a>, <a href="/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich" class="mw-redirect" title="Zürich">Zürich</a>, <a href="/wiki/Neuch%C3%A2tel" title="Neuchâtel">Neuchâtel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Savoy" title="Savoy">Savoy</a> and were armed with <a href="/wiki/Catapults" class="mw-redirect" title="Catapults">catapults</a> and primitive guns. Because Count Rudolf II had died before the war began, Burgdorf was defended by Rudolf's uncle, Berchtold I. Under Berchtold, Burgdorf withstood a 45-day siege. An attempt to negotiate a cease-fire on 21 April 1383, between Bern and the citizens of Burgdorf against the Neu-Kyburgs was also unsuccessful. Beset by enormous burdens of war and civil unrest at home, the Bernese Council sought Confederation mediation to end the war. On 5 April 1384, the Neu-Kyburgs agreed to sell the towns and castles of Burgdorf and Thun to Bern for 37,800 guilders.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_Burgdorferkrieg_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS_Burgdorferkrieg-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Coloured version of Burgdorff by Merian 1650"><img alt="Coloured version of Burgdorff by Merian 1650" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg/120px-Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="78" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg/180px-Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg/240px-Burghoff_Matthaeus_Merian_1650.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1044" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Coloured version of Burgdorff by Merian 1650</div> </li> </ul> <p>As part of the peace treaty, Bern acknowledged the rights and privileges that the Kyburgs had granted to Burgdorf. Burgdorf enjoyed a unique amount of autonomy compared to the other cities in the Bernese city-state. The town had its own mayor, council and <a href="/wiki/High,_middle_and_low_justice" title="High, middle and low justice">high and low courts</a>. Starting in 1394 the town began to buy courts, land and forests from the impoverished nobility. It began to acquire the surrounding villages and towns as well. In 1394 <a href="/wiki/R%C3%BCtschelen" title="Rütschelen">Rütschelen</a> came under Burgdorf's authority. This was followed in 1395 by Grasswil, 1400 by Wil (now part of Rütschelen), 1402 by <a href="/wiki/Inkwil" title="Inkwil">Inkwil</a> (until 1720), 1423 by <a href="/wiki/Nieder%C3%B6sch" title="Niederösch">Niederösch</a>, 1429 by <a href="/wiki/Bettenhausen,_Switzerland" title="Bettenhausen, Switzerland">Bettenhausen</a>, 1429 and 1509/10 <a href="/wiki/Th%C3%B6rigen" title="Thörigen">Thörigen</a>, 1431 by <a href="/wiki/Gutenburg,_Switzerland" title="Gutenburg, Switzerland">Gutenburg</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lotzwil" title="Lotzwil">Lotzwil</a>, 1435 by <a href="/wiki/Kleindietwil" title="Kleindietwil">Kleindietwil</a> and at the start of the 16th century <a href="/wiki/Ober%C3%B6sch" title="Oberösch">Oberösch</a>. The city created the <a href="/wiki/Bailiwick" title="Bailiwick">bailiwicks</a> of Grasswil (Grasswil, Ösch, Heimiswil) and Lotzwil (Thörigen, Lotzwil) under the administration of an alderman.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The city government consisted of a small council (12 members) and a large council (32 members) Starting in 1384 the <i><a href="/wiki/Schultheiss" class="mw-redirect" title="Schultheiss">Schultheiss</a></i> was chosen by Bern. The small council was proposed by Burgdorf and approved by Bern, while the large council was appointed by the small council. By the 15th century, Burgdorf had about 900 residents which made it larger than most of the surrounding towns. The main industry remained agriculture until about 1798. Trade remained mostly regional and the products of the local industry (tannery, wool and linen weaving) only sold in the nearby region. Until the late 15th century, the town had a few <a href="/wiki/Guild" title="Guild">guilds</a> which remained without political or social power. They were mostly responsible for a few city obligations including supervising the fire and security watches. There were five guild houses in the upper city (blacksmiths-carpenters, butchers-shoemakers, bakers, weavers and tailors), one in the lower town (tanners). Each guild consisted of several trades, for example the blacksmiths-carpenters, allowed craftsmen working in 22 different jobs involving iron, stone and wood processing to join.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The economic growth in the 15th century enabled the city to build municipal buildings and maintain the fortifications and public areas. The city hall, church and market were all built or expanded during this time. However, starting in the 1460s and 1470s the economy began to stagnate. The guilds gradually became more powerful and began to choke the economy. In the 16th century, the economies of the surrounding villages began to grow unfettered by guild rules. The guild controlled markets of Burgdorf attempted to compete with these small markets by banning the import of goods from the surrounding countryside. These bans (in 1619 and again in 1666–74) only served to undermined Burgdorf's position as a regional market and service center. Burgdorf remained hostile to new businesses and in some cases drove them to settle in neighboring towns.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>With the construction of the road on Kirchberg (1756–64) Burgdorf was no longer on any regional trade routes. The devastating fires (1706 upper town and in 1715 in the lower town) forced the city council to rebuild much of the city. Overall, the population stagnated and after 1655 it became increasing hard to gain citizenship in Burgdorf. The percentage of non-citizen residents who could become citizens was less than 40% in 1764. As the number of artisans had declined, there were fewer and fewer families for that could serve on the town councils. At times, the large council only had 27 members instead of 32, due to a lack of candidates. During the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_peasant_war_of_1653" title="Swiss peasant war of 1653">Swiss peasant war of 1653</a> the city remained loyal to Bern. While they feared an attack by the peasant armies, Burgdorf was bypassed.
