Gemeinde Planken
planken.li →Gut erhaltene, teils denkmalgeschützte alte Holzhäuser und moderne Wohnhäuser reihen sich entlang der Dorfstrasse in Planken aneinander. Sie bestimmen gemeinsam mit der 2007 renovierten und ebenfalls unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Kapelle St. Josef und dem Gemeinde- und Schulzentrum das malerische Dorfbild. Das Dorf ist vom Tal aus über eine gut ausgebaute Strasse mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ebenso unkompliziert erreichbar wie mit dem Auto. Knapp über 430 Personen bewohnten im Jahr 2012 die 172 Haushalte unserer Gemeinde. Gemeindevorsteher und Gemeinderat verwalten die Gemeinde und kümmern sich darum, Planken als interessanten und sicheren Wohnort zu erhalten. Die Menschen im Dorf arbeiten aktiv an Plankens Zukunft mit, indem sie sich in Kommissionen und Projektgruppen einbringen. Zum Plankner Gemeindegebiet gehören Oberplanken, das Maiensäss Rütti, die Alpen Gafadura und Alpzinken auf halbem Weg zu dem Dreischwesternmassiv sowie das Naturschutzgebiet Garselli im Saminatal.

Planken (; dialectal: Planka) is a municipality in Oberland, Liechtenstein. It has four exclaves, two enclaves and a population of 473. Thus it is the least populous municipality of Liechtenstein.
==History== The Romanic population from Schaan and Vaduz had already cleared the area of the village before the Walser migrated there in the 13th century and started clearing the upper parts of the municipality. The first documented naming was in the year 1361. The village was looted twice, first by the Swiss in 1499 when they campaigned against Frastanz (Battle of Frastanz) and in 1799 by the French when they ousted the Austrian forces during the Napoleonic Wars.
