Country Info Switzerland Introduction Switzerland General Data Switzerland Maps Switzerland Culture ... Switzerland Time and Date Switzerland History Back to Top In pre-Roman times the territory now known as Switzerland was inhabited by the Helvetii in the west and the Rhaetians, a people believed to have been related to the Etruscans, in the east. Julius Caesar and the Romans conquered the region, which they named Helvetia, in the 1st century bc, and it became thoroughly Romanized. During the Germanic invasions that swept over the Western Roman Empire in the 4th century ad, the Burgundians and the Alamanni conquered Helvetia. Though a hand wedge fashioned by Paleolithic hunters, found at Pratteln near Basel in 1974, is at least 350,000 years old, human habitation in Switzerland was not significant until the last glacial period, the Würm, approximately 30,000 years ago. At that time most of the land was covered by ice, many thousands of feet deep that flowed down from the Alps. But during interglacial periods nomadic hunters from encampments in the ice-free areas of the Jura and the Mittelland followed their prey, mainly reindeer and bear, into the high mountain valleys. Carved designs of animals and birds on antlers and bone, found in caves, illuminate this era of prehistory. After the melting of the glaciers, Neolithic cultures established themselves in parts of the Rhône and Rhine valleys, and from 1800 BC Bronze Age settlements were scattered throughout the Mittelland and Alpine valleys.

25. Emmanuel Church, Geneva, Switzerland - History Past and Present Home Page, The history of Emmanuel Church. Emmanuel Secretary.Emmanuel's history can be divided into three periods http://www.emmanuelchurch.ch/11Jun01/history.html

Past and Present Home Page The History of Emmanuel Church Emmanuel Church was founded in 1873 by a group of Americans residing in Geneva. The cornerstone was laid by former President Grant in July 1877, and the first service was held in the Church building on Easter Day, 1878. Emmanuel's colorful and successful 125-year history has been chronicled in The American Church in Geneva: A Century of Service 1873-1973 and Emmanuel Church: The Fifth Quarter Century . Both books are available from our Parish Secretary. Emmanuel's history can be divided into three periods: Early development The Church building, with a seating capacity of over 200, exists today in essentially the same form as when it was constructed. But by 1923 the congregation recognized the need for additional space for Church school classes, office space and social functions and set about to construct the Parish Hall, contiguous to the original building, which more than doubled usable space. The building was formally opened in November 1930. Shortly thereafter the American Library was formed in a part of the Parish Hall, and has continued to expand its activities to the point where it is one of the largest English-language libraries in Geneva. The devastating events of both World Wars brought periods of severe crisis for Emmanuel, and a few times it was even necessary to suspend services. But there was always a devoted group who kept the Church alive.

Austria and Switzerland Austria The Arts History History Landlocked in the middle of Europe and rolling with cash, the Habsburgs married into power and bought into art. In keeping with the cosmopolitan nature of their empire and outlook, the imperial family pursued a cultural policy that decidedly favored foreign artists over their own native sons and daughters. With the popularity of Baroque palaces and churches in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Empire's artists began to develop a distinct, graceful architectural style that still dominates the old centers of former Habsburg towns across Central and Eastern Europe. Around the turn of the 20th century, Austrian artists finally got fed up with traditionalism and foreign decadence and decided to stir up the coals a bit.

History The most obvious characteristic about the Swiss real estate market is its limited size and its wide range of landscapes. Switzerland's physical beauty has, of course, not gone unnoticed to many foreign citizens. This is the reason why Swiss authorities had to limit property sales to Non-Swiss nationals. The first law regulating such purchases was the Lex Von Moos, which became effective in 1961. Then in 1973, the Lex Furgler, a much more stringent law. Finally, in 1983, with the Lex Friedrich, restrictions became even tighter.

37. American Women's Club Of Bern, Switzerland -- History history of the American Women's Club of Berne. functions has always been to welcomeAmerican newcomers to Bern and introduce them to life in switzerland. http://www.awcbern.org/history.html

History of the American Women's Club of Berne Whatever the eventthe Christmas bash at the Bellevue Hotel, a lecture on women's health issues, a visit to Bern's soup kitchen, a Halloween party for kids, or just a pleasant lunch with friendsAmerican women in Bern know they can count on the American Women's Club to keep them in touch with one another. For more than 50 years, the AWC has been sponsoring activities for Americans, as well as for non-Americans with close ties to the US. In addition to its formal events, the club provides members with a monthly newsletter, a membership directory, and the opportunity to organize small hobby groups around interests like painting, hiking, reading, and bible or language study. The club began in 1949. In those days in Bern, the United States was officially represented by a legation headed by a minister. The minister's wife and several other women met periodically to sew, knit and chat, and in 1949 the circle of friends grew and became the American Women's Group. Once the group had expanded beyond 50 members, they renamed themselves the American Women's Club of Berne. Over the years since its founding in 1949, the American Women's Club of Berne has helped a great many women who were far away from home feel happier, more comfortable, more connected, more informed and more involved. The club has not only served its members, their husbands and their children in countless ways, but has also used its charitable contributions to help a number of Swiss. None of this would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of many volunteers, some of whom have contributed their time and energy year after year to make the club a success. Old and new members must remember that the club is counting on them to pitch in and help in any way they can. With a truly active membership, the American Women's Club of Berne is guaranteed another fifty years of existence-and more.

A I T he Bonmont community rapidly became prosperous and its cloister had become, by the XIIIth century the burial place of many noble personalities. Among these, the Lords of Grailly, whose descendant, Henri IV Bourbon, was to become King of France in 1589. The monastery, both the richest in the region and the one which had made the greatest contribution to its development, was later to succumb to the vicissitudes of history. In 1536, Bernese troups occupied Vaud. They destroyed the cloister, converted the church into a barn and a cheese factory and also built living quarters inside it. T his involved the demolition of the chancel, the apse, the narthex and the arch of the southern transept. The wealth of the abbey was such that Berne made it into a governorate, distinct from the bailiwick of the nearby town of Nyon. At a later date, what remained of the monastery building was converted into a " hospital ", infact a hospice for twelve paupers. At the beginning of the XVIIIth century, however, the governorate was raised to the status of bailiwick. A round 1748, the representatives of Their Excellencies of Berne built a mansion on the foundations of the former hospital. In 1798 Bonmont passed into private hands until the estate was acquired 180 years later by the founder of the club. The abbey was then opened to visitors on the occasion of numerous concerts organised by the Club de Bonmont, and finally donated to the Canton of Vaud. After restoration, it will soon be opened permanently to the general public, with access by means of a reserved path. Will all due respect for her venerable age, Our Lady of Bonmont is about to begin a new chapter in her history.
