You won't find a halberd in the new Morgarten Information Center near the Letzi Tower in the hamlet of Schornen between Oberägeri ZG and Sattel SZ. History is conveyed here with ultra-modern equipment.
You won't find a halberd in the new Morgarten Information Center near the Letzi Tower in the hamlet of Schornen between Oberägeri ZG and Sattel SZ. History is conveyed here with ultra-modern equipment. A hologram shows the only two real Morgarten artifacts currently known: The Morgarten flag and the Morgarten letter. The originals are kept in the nearby Federal Charter Museum in Schwyz.
An oversized historical depiction of the battle on the façade welcomes visitors, tying in with the wealth of experience and fulfilling familiar expectations. Suddenly, however, nothing is as it was and the picture poses the question: "What really happened at Morgarten?". A visit inside the new building answers part of this question on two floors.
On the first floor, the Grüchteküche is cooking. Stories can be heard from the babble of voices and languages - the exhibition is in four languages. What is known about the battle is also discussed. Not much is actually known. It is more conjecture and theories. Even speculation. Morgarten then becomes more tangible on the upper floor. The multivision show reveals the secret of why Morgarten is still so important to you today, that heated discussions arise, that Morgarten is used and misused. And it becomes clear that Switzerland owes a great deal to Morgarten.
