EDITORS COMMENTS
Rutlischwur - 3: The Oath of Rutli, also known as the Oath of Grutli, is a pivotal moment in Swiss history, symbolizing the guarantee of Swiss independence. This historic event took place on the meadow of Rutli, located in the canton of Uri, in 1307. The print depicts three leaders of the Swiss cantons, standing solemnly in the lush, green meadow, raising their hands in a pledge of allegiance to uphold the freedom and sovereignty of their lands. The Oath of Rutli is considered a legendary foundation of Swiss policy, as it marked the beginning of the Swiss Confederation. This confederation would later grow into the modern-day Swiss Federation. The significance of this moment in history cannot be overstated, as it set the stage for the unique political structure and values that define Switzerland to this day. The event is shrouded in legend, with various stories and interpretations surrounding the details of the oath and the leaders who took it. However, the core message remains the same: the unwavering commitment to freedom, self-determination, and unity among the Swiss cantons. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the leaders of the Swiss Confederation, bound by their shared vision and values, standing together on the meadow of Rutli, taking an oath that would shape the course of Swiss history for centuries to come.
