82. WHKMLA : Reformation In Switzerland Brief history beginning with prereformation, continuing with the reformation in Zurich with Zwingli and then the reformation in Geneva with Calvin. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/period/reformation/swsref.html

Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire Reformation in France Reformation in Switzerland A.) Switzerland before the Reformation The Swiss Confederation had been founded in 1291 and grew by a combination of taking in new members into their confederation, by military conquest and by associating cantons. In 1517, when Martin Luther, by nailing his 95 theses began the protestant reformation, the Swiss Confederation covered an area in which 4 languages were spoken, the largest ethnical group speaking German. Ecclesiastically, Switzerland lacked an identity of her own; the country was divided among the Archdioceses of Mainz (Diocesis of Konstanz), Besancon (Diocesis of Basel), Vienne (Diocesis of Geneva), Tarantaise (Diocesis of Sion), Milan (Diocesis of Novara ?), Aquileja (Diocesis of Como). B.) The First Reformation and the Treaty of Kappel Switzerland, just as other regions in Central Europe, had been affected by the corruption of the church. Martin Luther's publications were (re)printed in Basel; they spread quickly throughout German-speaking Switzerland, most notably his German bible translation. While Luther's principle to compare reality within the church organization and her practices with scripture was widely accepted, this was not necessarily the fact with the new order Luther wanted to establish. The immediate effect of the spread of the reformist publications was that simple priests questioned their role. Some felt compelled by scripture to take on a civil occupation, some gave up their priesthood altogether. Reformist theses began to enter sermons. Another effect was that laymen began to interpret the bible on their own, now they could read it. Church authority showed signs of breakdown, as men began to break the fast, a number of priests married, nuns left convents (unpunished).

Switzerland Switzerland History and Government History: The history of Switzerland has followed a broadly different course from that of its European neighbours, mainly because no ruler since the 14th century was able to claim more than a theoretical suzerainty over the small, well-organised and prosperous group of cantons that comprise it. In the period between 1315 and 1388, they inflicted a series of crushing defeats on the armies of the Dukes of Austria, resulting in several other cantons joining the original three in the Swiss Confederation. Their location left them well placed to interfere in the interminable power struggles of the period, and their influence was backed up by the formidable reputation of their army – probably the most powerful in Europe at the end of the 15th century. The Reformation led to a division in Swiss society between the followers of the reformer Zwingli (later, Calvin) and the Catholics. The bitter controversy considerably reduced Swiss influence in Europe and the Confederation was lucky to survive a series of defeats. Swiss independence from the Holy Roman Empire was one of the results of the Peace of Westphalia (1648) that concluded the Thirty Years’ War, in which Switzerland had suffered badly. In the following 100 years, little progress was made towards a formal union of the cantons and the religious controversy rumbled on; the dominance of the Protestants was not established until after the Second Villmergen War in 1712.

Helvetian Republic, 1798-1803 Switzerland 1815-1830 Russia 1789-1813 Britain : Foreign Policy Switzerland, 1803-1815 In the ACT OF MEDIATION 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte reestablished a federal constitution in Switzerland; shortly afterward the name was changed from Helvetic Republic back to Swiss Confederation. Napoleon himself used the title as Mediator of the Swiss Republic; yet the restoration of federalism in Switzerland actually had meant a drastic change in French Switzerland policy - from massive interference and determined support of centralism to leaving Switzerland much to herself for the sake of peace. France only insisted in the Franco-Swiss alliance to be continued (confirmed in 1803) and in Switzerland providing Napoleon with 4 regiments of soldiers for his many campaigns. Yet France did supervise the Swiss Press and monitor the Swiss politicians/political bodies. Territorially, the Swiss Confederation of 1803 differed from that of 1797, as Mulhouse/Muelhausen, Geneva and the Princebishopric of Basel (a part of which had been member of the Swiss Federation) had been annexed by France, as the Valtellino, Bormio and Chiavenna had been annexed by the Cisalpine, now Italian Republic, and as the Valais/Wallis had been separated from Switzerland in 1802 (it was annexed by France in 1810. On the other hand, in 1801 the hitherto Austrian Fricktal had been annexed into the Swiss Federation. The number of cantons rose from 13 to 19, as St. Gallen, Thurgau, Graubuenden (Grisons), Ticino, Aargau and the Vaud were elevated to cantons with equal rights. The capital function rotated annually among the following six cities : Fribourg/Freiburg, Bern, Soleure, Basel, Zuerich and Luzern. Privileges of the nobility as well as the status of subject territories remained abolished. While the old cantons retained old-fashioned constitutions (thus reestablishing the guilds, preserving the status of patricians), the new cantons drafted libereal constitutions. Suffrage was limited to those who qualified by paying a certain amount of taxes.

It begins with the colonization of the Alps by Romanized Celtic peoples who came from the plain to clear the wilderness, establish a tiny monastic house, and create a dairy economy that became famous for its cheeses. Over ten centuries the village, like the rest of Switzerland, went through the traumas of religious reformation and political revolution. A single currency, a unified postal service, and eventually an integrated army brought improved stability and prosperity to the union of two dozen small republics. Switzerland: A Village History replaces the mythology and patriotic propaganda that too often have passed for Swiss history with a rigorous, insightful, and charming account of the daily life, small-scale rivalries, and local loyalties that actually make up Swiss history

Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C. SEARCH CONTACT US PRINT ENGLISH CULTURE AND EDUCATION Education in Switzerland: A Brief History and Main Features A Brief History In Switzerland, as in other parts of Europe, the large abbeys were the centers of culture and education up until the late Middle Ages. As towns grew and became more important in the mid-15th century, schools primarily designed to meet the need for vocational training emerged. Craftsmen and their guilds began to take on apprentices to train in the manual trades. At this time, Switzerland's oldest university, the University of Basel, was founded in 1460 on a grant from Pope Pius II. With the onslaught of liberalism in the 19th century, increasing value was put on popular education, and in 1850, compulsory school attendance was introduced in all cantons. Education remained the responsibility of the cantons also after the transition from the loosely-knit federation of states to the federal state of 1848. From that date on, however, the Confederation had to make sure that all cantons guaranteed a satisfactory primary school education. Main Features of the Educational System The federal constitution stipulates that "the right to sufficient and free primary education is guaranteed" (article 19) and that "education is a cantonal matter" (article 62, paragraph 1). Switzerland does not have a federal or national Department of Education. The Confederation has very few specific tasks as far as education is concerned, but it does have responsibility in the following areas: the provision of a sufficient level of primary education which is compulsory and free (but governed by the 26 different cantons), control of both Federal Institutes of Technology (the ETH Zürich and EPFL Lausanne), regulation of the teaching of physical education, and providing financial support to cantonal universities, scientific research, and Swiss schools abroad.

research project Yoga between Switzerland and India : its history and the hermeneutics of an encounter. The present project continues the work done between September 2002 and August 2004 under the direction of Prof. Dr. Maya Burger (DIHSR, University of Lausanne) and aims at a "hermeneutics of encounter" between "East and West".It specifically studies the European and the Indian developments of yoga, seen in a perspective of exchange of values and ideas between the two cultures. Thus, it looks at the transfer and the implantation of Indian concepts into contemporary religious movements, in particular in the Swiss context. It contributes to a history of Yoga in Switzerland and in modern India. The project aims at a study of primarily textual sources. In evaluating them, we concentrate on the analysis of the following topics and concepts and their change in a situation of encounter: "yoga" as a concept comparable to "religion"; the karman-theories, the (altered) state of consciousness called samadhi; and the modes of transmission. Our research goes to demonstrate that yoga is a subject which allows to throw new light on religion in modern India and Switzerland. Our starting hypothesis that T. Krishnamacharya is a key figure for the history of Yoga in India no less than for what yoga has become in Europe has been confirmed. This master embodies the exegetical tradition of the yoga of Patanjali and is the starting point of several types of yoga (e.g., therapeutical, ayurvedic, 'energetic', devotional or 'vedic') which have given rise to some of the best-known yoga schools in the West.
