Muttenz is a municipality with a population of about 17,000 in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland. It is in the district of Arlesheim, next to the city of Basel.
==History== Under the Roman Empire a hamlet called Montetum existed, which the Alamanni invaders referred to as Mittenza since the 3rd century CE. At the beginning of the 9th century CE the settlement came into the possession of the bishopric of Strasbourg. In the following centuries various noble families were invested with the fief.
