BACKGROUND MAIN MENU The Swiss Confederation was founded in
1291 as a defensive alliance among three cantons. In succeeding
years, other localities joined the original three. The Swiss
Confederation secured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire
in 1499. A constitution of 1848, subsequently modified in 1874,
replaced the confederation with a centralized federal government.
Switzerland's sovereignty and neutrality have long been honored by
the major European powers, and the country was not involved in
either of the two world wars. The political and economic
integration of Europe over the past half century, as well as
Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations, has
strengthened Switzerland's ties with its neighbors. However, the
country did not officially become a UN member until 2002.
Switzerland remains active in many UN and international
organizations but retains a strong commitment to neutrality.

RECENT EVENT MAIN MENU In Switzerland Tiger Woods was playing
in a club. While he was playing an unusual thing happened. A fox
appeared in the club. This news spread around the whole wide world.
The fox goes to the club between 4 and 6 pm. He always goes running
around in between holes waiting until the player that is playing
golf hits the ball for him to go for it and steal it in his mouth,
when he grabs it he goes running the way that he came at the
beginning. This fox went famous and many people now go to see him
everyday to the golf club.

sub-station, one of the most distinctive icons of Zrichs industrial
architecture. The museum is the only such institution in
Switzerland, one of just a few in Europe dedicated to historical
and thematic exploration of concrete, constructive and conceptual
art. The Haus Konstruktiv focuses on making it part of a living
dialog with international trends in contemporary art. On five
floors with a total of 1,200m exhibition area, visitors discover
works of art in the context of their historical background in
various ways, through changing exhibitions and presentations of
collections.
Slide 18
HANS WALD MANN MAIN MENU TOURISM MENU POINT OF INTEREST MENU
Just across from the Fraumnster the statue commemorates Hans Wald
Mann (1435 - 1489), once general and mayor of Zurich. That may not
be so surprising now, but at the time of his death a statue would
have been out of the question. Originating from a simple
background, he defeated Charles, Duke of Burgundy, in 1477. Later
on however, his popularity waned and he was sentenced and
beheaded.
