Image description

Opening of the Tagsatzung on July 5, 1847 with federal oath in the Heiliggeist-Kirche in Bern (engraving by E. Kretzschmar): E. Bucher, History of the Sonderbund War, Zurich 1966). On July 20, 1847, a majority of the convention declared the special union of the seven Catholic-conservative cantons incompatible with the federal treaty of 1815 and thus dissolved. This decision was serious, as it threatened Switzerland with a civil war.
