Stettlen is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
Stettlen is first mentioned in 1146 as Stetelon.
Archeological excavations have found evidence of several prehistoric settlements in the Stettlen area. The earliest is several La Tène era graves which contain skeletons and some items of jewelry from near the modern Bleichestrasse. Traces of a Roman era settlement were found at Deisswil. During the High Middle Ages there was a small castle at Schwandiholz, of which no records remain.
Stettlen was the smallest of the four parishes on the city of Bern. After 1300, it was considered part of the extended city and until 1798 residents of Stettlen were considered citizens of Bern.
The village church of St. Blaise was first built in the 9th century. It was rebuilt during the 12th century and rebuilt again around 1400. No records remain of the first two churches but the foundations have been archeologically explored. The current church was built in 1729-30.
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
My sweet Elaine
Sweet Elaine
Here we go again,
Making new arrangements
A wedding with some strangers,
It's a fantasy
Drink the rain,
Before the weather changes,
New years and new faces,
Lost of celebrations,
For no reason.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
My sweet Elaine.
Why slow down?
We've always moved around,
Strangers and acquaintances,
This conversations crazy,
What am I to do?
Sweet Elaine,
Help me to ease this pain.
'fore the book starts over,
I found a four leaf clover,
On your front step.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I was never one to stay,
But I'm holding on
I'm holding on,
I'm holding on,
I work so hard for you,
Please help me see this through,
Please help me see this through,
