Burgdorf (fr. Berthoud) is the largest city in the Emmental, Canton of Berne, Switzerland and is the capital of the district of the same name.
In 1175 the town was first known as "Burtorf" from Burg Bertolfs (Berchtolds) in connection with a deed of duke Berchtolds IV of Zähringer. In 1384, the city of Berne purchased Burgdorf.
In the city, several engine works and a professional school for technology and architecture have their seat.
