Diepflingen is a municipality in the district of Sissach in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland.
It has a population of about 546 and lies in the Homburger Valley.
[edit] History
Diepflingen gained some fame during the separation of Basel-Country from Basel-City by putting itself directly under federal rule, thus proclaiming the Republic Diepflingen. The Swiss Diet (de:Tagsatzung), however, didn't accept this, and after only 9 days the Republic was renounced and Diepflingen joined Basel-Country.
