Rütli (literary Group)
''Der Rütli'' (or: ''Das Rütli'', ''Rytly'', or ''Rytli'') was a German literary group, named after the famous Swiss meadow. It was founded on 9 December 1852 by members of the ''Tunnel über der Spree'' as "a kind of subsidiary tunnel" ("''eine Art Nebentunnel''" — Theodor Fontane) with a more intimate atmosphere, in contrast to the ceremonial and public nature of the larger group's activities. They met weekly at one another's homes. One major difference between meetings of the Tunnel and meetings of the Rütli was that members' wives were admitted, albeit only after the "work" of the gathering was completed. The members can be divided into the founders, or ''Ur-Rütlionen'', and the ''Späteren''. At first, the anniversary of the group's founding was celebrated each 9 December, but as this conflicted somewhat with the Tunnel's ''Stiftungsfest'' on 3 December, the date was moved to 5 February. The group entertained many guests like Berthold Auerbach, Friedrich von Bodenst ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rütli
Rütli () or Grütli (; ) is a mountain meadow on Lake Lucerne, in the Seelisberg municipality of the Swiss canton of Uri. It is the site of the Rütlischwur in traditional Swiss historiography, the oath marking the foundation of the original Swiss Confederacy. As such it is treated as a national monument of Switzerland. Since 1860, the ''Schweizerische Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft'' (SGG) has organized a celebration at the site on Swiss National Day (August 1), since 1994 recognized as a public holiday. Rütli is only accessible by boat from Lake Lucerne or by foot from Seelisberg. History The Rütli became a site of symbolic importance for Swiss national identity in the early 18th century, with incipient National Romanticism. In the 1780s, there were (unsuccessful) proposals to erect a monument to Liberty at the site. Under the Helvetic Republic, the Rütli became a site of pilgrimage for conservative dissidents. In 1804, the year after the dissolution of the Helvet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
