Intro

The Gotthelf Center preserves the legacy of the great Emmental writer as a Swiss cultural asset of national importance.

As a Swiss cultural asset of national importance, the Gotthelf Center preserves the legacy of the great Emmental writer. The museum is located in the former vicarage, where Albert Bitzius lived as a pastor from 1831 to 1854 and created his enormous literary oeuvre under the pseudonym Jeremias Gotthelf: "Uli der Knecht", "Anne Bäbi Jowäger", "Geld und Geist" and "Die Käserei in der Vehfreude" are among his best-known novels, while "Die Schwarze Spinne" is his most famous novella. The modern museum, which opened in 2012, offers an insight into Gotthelf's life, showing his many facets as a pastor, writer and journalist, as a teacher, school inspector or bailiff for the poor; experience his incredible creative power and admire valuable first editions. In the media room, visitors can compare original texts with corresponding radio play sequences by Ernst Balzli and with film clips by Franz Schnyders on interactive flat screens
