Tysnes (Urban East Norwegian:[ˈtŷːsneːs]) is amunicipality inVestlandcounty,Norway. It is located in thetraditional district ofSunnhordland. Theadministrative centre is the village ofUggdal. Other population centres in Tysnes include the villages ofVåge andOnarheim. The island municipality is located in a group of islands near the mouth of theHardangerfjorden. The majority of the municipal population lives on the island ofTysnesøya, the largest island in the municipality.[4]

The 255-square-kilometre (98 sq mi) municipality is the 283rd largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Tysnes is the 232nd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 2,910. The municipality'spopulation density is 11.9 inhabitants per square kilometre (31/sq mi) and its population has increased by 6.4% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

[edit]

The historicparish ofTysnæs was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (seeformannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1907, the small portion of Tysnes located on the mainland (population: 67) was transferred to the neighboring municipality ofKvinnherad. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.[7]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the oldTysnes farm (Old Norse:Týsnes) since the firstTysnes Church was built there. The first element is thegenitive case of the name of theOld Norse godTýr. The last element isnes which means "headland".[8]

This is probably the only place inNorway named after the god Týr. Several place names around the farm also have sacred meanings:Ve (holy place),Helgastein (holy rock),Godøy (the god's island), andVevatnet (theholy lake). The old name of the big island of Tysnesøy wasNjarðarlǫg (the district of the godNjord). Recently, a sun phenomenon connected to the original Tysnes headland has been discovered, and this seems to be the starting-point of the sacral name complex.[8]

Coat of arms

[edit]
Old arms in use from 1971 until 2020.
Coat of arms in use starting in 2020.

The firstcoat of arms for Tysnes was adopted on 28 October 1971 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when a new coat of arms replaced it. The officialblazon is"Azure, under achevron two crossed axesargent" (Norwegian:På blå grunn to sølvfarga kryssede økser med sparre over). This means the arms have a bluefield (background) and thecharge is two crossedaxes under achevron. The charge has atincture ofargent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms were derived from the seal of the medievalOnarheimguild (Olavsgildet). Onarheim is a village on the island ofTysnesøya which was historically aViking Age center of power in theSunnhordland region. Thechevron above the axes was added to the municipal arms to distinguish it from the medieval arms and the arms for the oldHordaland county. The arms were designed by Magnus Hardeland. The municipal flag had the same design as the coat of arms.[9][10][11]

The old coat of arms was never formally adopted because it was too similar to the coat of arms forHordaland county and the government refused to approve it. AfterHordaland county became part of the newVestland county, the Hordaland arms were no longer used. Additionally, a law was also changed, giving the municipal councils the ultimate authority to determine their own coats of arms, so Tysnes decided to review their arms. The council debated approving the old arms or choosing to adopt the arms of the old Hordaland county (with different colors). In 2020, the council adopted a new coat of arms based on the old Hordaland arms. The officialblazon is"Azure, under a royal crown two crossed axesargent" (Norwegian:På blå grunn to sølvfarga kryssede økser med krone over.). This means the arms have a bluefield (background) and thecharge is a two crossedaxes under a three pointed crown. The charge has atincture ofargent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. This design was chosen because it more closely resembled the old Onarheim arms than the previous design. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[12][13]

Churches

[edit]
