Image description

Contemporary depiction of Constantin Siegwart-Mueller (1801-1869), president of the war council of the Sonderbund, founded in 1845. Siegwart-Mueller was a councillor in the canton of Lucerne (1842-47) and the political leader of the Sonderbund. At the end of the Sonderbund he was left Switzerland in a hurry, but returned in 1857 and wrote his memoirs. A short and comparatively bloodless gun battle 150 years ago cleared the way for the state. In 27 days, the sworn troops under General Henri Dufour overcame the resistance of the Sonderbund cantons and prevented the Swiss Confederation from breaking up.
