Article
Appenzell ( Swiss Standard German pronunciation: [ˈapn̩ˌtsɛl] ) is a village, though considered as a town by the FSO, and the capital of the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland. Appenzell has no municipal government of its own; rather, the different parts of Appenzell belong to and are governed by the districts Appenzell and Schwende-Rüte. Because of that, for firefighting, energy and water, the village of Appenzell has a special-purpose municipality, the Feuerschaugemeinde.
