Frauenfeld as the capital of the Swiss Confederation
Overzicht
Inleiding
An exhibition of historical documents from the State Archives about the Federal Diet, which met regularly in Frauenfeld in the 18th century.
The Tagsatzung was the most important body of the Old Swiss Confederacy: until 1798, authorized envoys from the thirteen Confederate states met there to discuss common business. This could include relations with France or the German Empire, mercenary matters or coinage. The negotiations of the 18th century dealt with the Confederation's struggle for neutrality in the wars of the time or customs disputes with the Empire.
For the area of today's Thurgau, the collection contains a great deal of important and interesting information, including information on individual persons or places and communities.
In the 18th century, the committee met in Frauenfeld, making the town a "capital" of the Old Swiss Confederacy for a short time. The documents from this period are still in the Thurgau State Archives and have now been made accessible to the public.
In the exhibition, various types of files from the collection are shown and explained. An exciting case study is used to explain how the Tagsatzung was organized and how the negotiations took place. A free brochure is available and provides further information and tips for possible research.
Short guided tours provide background information. Special tours for groups or school classes are available on request.
