Lampenberg is a municipality located in the Waldenburg district of the Basel-Landschaft canton in Switzerland. The first documented mention of the village dates back to 1226, and it was part of a later Alemannic settlement period. In the 13th century, the Frohburger family, who were the lords of the village, donated several properties to the Schönthal Monastery. Lampenberg became part of the city of Basel in 1400 and had a chapel dedicated to Saint Verena, which was converted into a residential house in 1532. The municipality has used a silver plowshare on a red background as its coat of arms since 1929, symbolizing its agricultural heritage.
