Preface

Having spent five years compiling our family genealogy, it was only natural for me to want to visit the villages, fields, and farms of where my ancestors had lived. In September of 2000 my wife and I took our first vacation in years and went to Switzerland to explore the Kammermann and Hostettler family Heimats of and . We flew to , where we planned to spend two nights before venturing out into the countryside to explore the family Bauern (farm) Holzersfiih in Gemeinde Guggisberg. It was our first day in Bern, sightseeing and enjoying our first European experience. We entered the Cathedral in Bern awestruck by the beauty and history of such a place. To the left of the main alter there is a vestibule which contains a beautiful statue of the Pieta. It was while praying in front of the statue that I noticed the plaques on the walls surrounding the room. One plaque in particular caught my eye because it contained the name of two Kammermanns, so I photographed it. As we were leaving the Cathedral I asked the young attendant what the plaques were for. She not speaking English and I not speaking German or French, communication was difficult. The only words I could understand were 1798 and . Only after returning home and researching the year 1798 did I have any clue as to what I had seen that day in the Cathedral. Fortunately I was on the Picton Press mailing list when they published Men of Bern: The 1798 Burgerverzeichnisse of Canton Bern, Switzerland, a genealogical treasure trove. I was so sorry that I had not photographed all of the plaques that day in the Cathedral. The only men who had not signed the oath of allegiance in 1798 were those who had fallen in the Battle for Bern against Napoleon 's French troops. I vowed that if I ever returned, I would photograph and publish those names. It was March of 2001 when we made plans to return to Switzerland. One of my main objectives was to photograph the plaques. We were scheduled to fly to Bern on September 12, 2001; a day spent holding our loved ones close and praying for those who were lost. The opportunity for us to travel to Switzerland did not come again until September of 2003. My wife and I were finally able to photograph Dem Andenken Der Im Unglucks­ jahr MDCCXCVIII. Fur Das Vaterland Gefallenen (In memory of the unfortunate - 1798. Killed for the Fatherland.) It is my hope that this publication will help someone make a family connection in their genealogical research. I firmly believe that no one truly dies as long as there is someone who remembers.

Introduction

In the year 1797, Napoleon Bonaparte was well on his way in his ambitious plan to unite the world under one flag. The French flag. There was however one small obstacle jeopardizing his grand design. Switzerland. The oft-times cruel social divisions and prejudices of Switzerland's feudal society, The Swiss Eidgenossenschaft, founded before 1291, was one of 's last archaic governments. The strategic importance of the Swiss alpine passes could not be ignored: Direct trade from Paris to Milan flowed through these passes. The French Directorate , and Napoleon were not going to let Swiss neutrality stand in the way of their future conquests and the securing of these Alpine passes for France. They first ordered Switzerland to revise their constitution and make it similar to that of the French. It was under this guise of helping Swiss Democrats revise their constitution that the French interfered with Swiss affairs in December 1797 and January 1798. Under the guise of helping to liberate the Swiss from their outmoded society and archaic government, the French invaded the Swiss Jura early in January of 1798. On January 28, 1798 a minor frontier border incident was all the reason French troops needed to enter the Bernese Vaud unopposed . Claiming they were upholding an old treaty, they marched victoriously into the capital of , with an eye next on Bern and its overflowing treasury. The mountain passes and the liberation of the people were not the only things on the invaders' minds. The Swiss Diet, unsure how to react, debated amongst themselves whether to fight or negotiate. They did not know what kind of support the other Cantons would give under the Oath of , Canton having defected in January 1798, followed by Canton Aargau and then Canton Thurgau. The Diet failing to act decisively, only the city of Bern mobilized for a defense. On March 5, 1798, under the command of general-of-division Brune, the French mounted a two-pronged attack on the city of Bern; one force attacking from the North and the other force attacking from the South. The French forces consisted of over 50,000 well-armed and trained men. The Swiss numbered less than half of that, with 24,000 Bernese and an additional 4,900 men from other cantons. The Swiss were poorly motivated and poorly commanded. The battle at in the south was the only victory recorded for the Swiss that day. The northern French forces defeated the Swiss at and Grauholz, occupying the conquered city of Bern before nightfall. The city was looted and the treasury plundered of over 3,000,000 francs. In addition, the French Directorate imposed heavy reparations on the Swiss in excess of 6,000,000 francs plus the costs of the French Occupation. Napoleon ordered the money taken from Bern, which https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/sahs_review/vol42/iss1/4 2 et al.: Kammerman List 62 Review [February

the Directorate had placed at his disposal, transmitted to Toulon to help finance his Italian campaign. To his credit, Brune tried to maintain discipline and to prevent plundering, as indicated by his declaration to the army on March 9, 1798. Nevertheless, French troops committed numerous excesses against the Swiss people. The bears in the Barengraben or bear pit, a symbol for the city of Bern and a source of pride in the community since its founding in 1160 by Berchtold V of Zahringia, were captured and dragged from their dens. The Bernese nobility, aristocrats, and city leaders were tied to the backs of the bears and led down the streets to taunts and jeers. When the French were through humiliating the aristocrats, they killed all the bears, even the newborn cubs, in a final gesture of humiliation to the Swiss people, marking the fall of the ancient regime. One newborn cub managed to stay hidden in the back of the den. The cub was later found and treated but finally succumbed, being too young. Its small body was stuffed and is on display to this day in the Swiss Historical Museum in Bern. Napoleon's new did away with cantonal autonomy and as in France it gave power to the people through a centralized five-man executive branch. The new constitution replaced the archaic group of communities, privileges, and mutual distrust that the Swiss had lived under since the . Napoleon failed to take into consideration the cultural history and boundaries of the Swiss. Also Switzerland would soon become a central battleground for skirmishes and battles between the French and her enemies, with troops from both sides raiding Swiss farms for their supplies. Finally in 1802 the Swiss had had enough. Centuries of feudal divisions ended when the Swiss came together, Catholic, Protestant, liberal, conservative, rich and poor, and rejected Napoleon 's constitution. A series of skirmishes and rebellions broke out, mostly in the mountain cantons where Landsgemeinde and revolutionary rights had been held for over 500 years. At the battle of Nidwalden, 400 Swiss were killed, nearly one-third of them women and children. Only after the loss of more than 2,000 French soldiers was the rebellion put down. Under pressure from a united Swiss front, the French were forced to withdraw in 1802. Civil war immediately broke out, causing Napoleon to step in as mediator. Under Napoleon's mediation the Swiss came up with their own constitution, which restored cantonal autonomy and laid the foundation for direct democracy at the national level. Switzerland had its first nationwide referendum. A nation was born.

Publisher's Note

This list of all Bernese troops killed during the Napoleonic invasion of Switzerland in the first week of March 1798 is quite an astounding

2006] Kammerman List 63 document. In it you will find the names of every one of the 704 Bernese killed by the French during their invasion of Canton Bern March 2-5: a total of 19 officers and 688 enlisted men (including several women and one "Volontar"). Each man is listed with his Heimat (the nine Landsassen listed, men who at that time had no Heimat, are simply listed as Landsass), and thus genealogists can relatively easily determine where these individuals fit into the various Bernese family trees. This was a staggering loss for Canton Bern. Perhaps 704 military dead doesn't seem like a 'staggering' loss to you. Look at it this way; it was 0.3% of Canton Bern's total population of about 250,000 at the time and 1.3% of the roughly 55,000 Bernese men of military age of 20 and under 69. Put another way, the loss of these 704 soldiers in Canton Bern is equivalent to America, with its current population of close to 300 million, having 900,000 soldiers killed in just four days of fighting. You can learn all the names of the 55,000 Bernese men of military age who survived the French invasion, together with a myriad of other details on each of them, by reading Men of Bern: The 1798 Burgerverzeichnisse of Canton Bern (Picton Press, 3 vol., 1999). The Introduction gives a good overview of the invasion and the history of Switzerland for that period. An interesting sidelight to the 1798 invasion and Switzerland's crushing defeat is that most of the various Bernese Gemeinden decided not to include these battle deaths in their voluminous, detailed, and otherwise generally complete death records. Discretion is the better part of valor: perhaps they felt that it would be dangerous for the French conquerors to know which Gemeinden fought the invasion the hardest and lost the most men. In one case I found that a minister found a way to record a battle death in a rather safe manner. For Rohrbach And., v. Wattenwyl (i.e. Andreas Rohrbach with Heimatrecht in ), the minister of Wattenwil did not enter Andreas Rohrbach's death in the Gemeinde death records but instead discretely put next to Andreas' 26 Jan 1777 baptismal record the notation O G [presumably for obit Giel, i.e. died as a young man]. Since these battle deaths are generally not recorded in the various Gemeinde death records, this list will help you fill holes in many genealogies. We have made only a few changes made in this list from wording of the original monuments as transcribed by Mr. Kammermann. The first is that the abbreviation "v." for von when it occurs in surnames and also when it is given before the person's Heimat has been expanded to 'von' . In the former case it is simply part of the surname while in the latter case it indicates that the person held Heimatrecht in the Gemeinde listed following the 'von ' . Hence "v. Allmen, Peter, v. Lauterbrunnen" means that the man's surname is von Allmen and that he held Heimatrecht in Gemeinde Lauterbrunnen in Canton Bern. The abbreviation 'B.' in the names of Gemeinden has been expanded to 'bey' - although the current spelling is 'bei' .The third change is that we have alphabetized all surnames beginning with 'von' under the https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/sahs_review/vol42/iss1/4 4 et al.: Kammerman List 64 Review [February

letter'v', while the original monuments index them the old-fashioned way , under the second word of the name: in this case under Allrnen. Note that Carl Ludwig von Erlach held Heimatrecht in both and Bern, and that two of the officers, C. May and von Graffenried, held Heimatrecht in Bern but were living (i.e. 'zu' ) elsewhere. The multitude of abbreviations of given names have been left unchanged as there is no way to be certain whether "Chr. " stands for Christian or Christen; Joh. stands for Johann or Johannes; etc. However , most of the abbreviations are rather obvious: Jak . for Jakob, Andr. for Andreas , etc. The original list is entirely in capital letters; we have changed them to initial capitals both for clarity in reading and to save space . A number of the Gemeinden now have slightly different spellings: Riiggisberg is now spelled Riieggisberg , Rugsau is now spelled Riiegsau, the term 'bey' (as in Hasle bey Burgdorf) is now spelled 'bei ' and sometimes was abbreviated 'b .' in the original monument, the town name ending -wyl is now spelled -wil, etc .
