Lüen is a former municipality in the district of Plessur in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. On 1 January 2013 the former municipalities of Lüen, Calfreisen, Castiel, Langwies, Molinis, Peist and St. Peter-Pagig merged into the municipality of Arosa.
Lüen is first mentioned in 1084 as Leune.
Before the merger, Lüen had a total area of 3.5 km2 (1.4 sq mi). Of this area, 37% is used for agricultural purposes, while 52.3% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 1.4% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (9.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
The former municipality is located in the Schanfigg sub-district of the Plessur district. It consists of the haufendorf village (an irregular, unplanned and quite closely packed village, built around a central square) of Lüen on the north face of the mid-Schanfigg.
In Lüen is the Lüen-Castiel railway station, on the Chur-Arosa railway line, which also serves Castiel.
Lüen had a population (as of 2010) of 84. As of 2008[update], 10.6% of the population was made up of foreign nationals. Over the last 10 years the population has decreased at a rate of -15.6%. Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (91.9%), with English being second most common ( 4.1%) and Dutch being third ( 2.7%).
