Andeer is a municipality in the district of Hinterrhein in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

Andeer lies in the Schams valley (in Romansch: "Val Schons") and is therefore very shady. Tourism is an important source of income for the municipality.

Language

Earlier, Andeer was largely Romansh-speaking, but now the majority of the population speaks German, and this is the only language for conducting official business.

History

Roman coins discovered near Andeer indicate that there was a Roman presence in the area during the time of the Roman province of Raetia (from 15 BC). The name of the settlement was presumably Lapidaria, and it would have already been an important stop on the road from Italy.

Around 1820, roads were built over the Splügen Pass und the San Bernardino Pass. When the railroad tunnels through the Alps were completed near the end of the 19th century, they greatly reduced traffic through the region. Since the opening of the San Bernardino road tunnel (A 13) in 1967, Andeer has once again been on a major thoroughfare.
