  • Zur Entstehung Der Obwaldnerischen Hauptverkehrsachsen Im 19
    "Die Fremden werden durch unser Tal pfeifen" – Zur Entstehung der obwaldnerischen Hauptverkehrsachsen im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert Obwaldens Hauptverkehrsträger sind – vom Sonderfall Engelbergs abgesehen – weitgehend dank fremder Initiative bzw. fremdem Geld entstanden. Mehr Zeit als die blosse technische Erschliessung erforderten die kulturellen Veränderungen, welche Bahn und Strasse im Kanton Obwalden auslösten. Sie eröffneten jedoch neue Möglichkeiten, etwa bezüglich der Arbeits- und Ausbildungswege. Heute nimmt Obwalden in der Pendlermobilität einen schweizweiten Spitzenplatz ein. Wer sich am Sonntag, 15. Juli 1838 beim Alpnachersee aufhielt, konnte Zeuge eines denkwürdigen Ereignisses werden. Mit der "Stadt Luzern" steuerte erstmals ein Dampfschiff das obwaldnerische Ufer in Alpnachstad an. Die Zuschauer staunten zweifellos über deren Fahrgeschwindigkeit von ungefähr 18 Stundenkilometern: Die altbekannten Ruder- und Segelschiffe wurden nun schlagar- tig als langsam empfunden. Noch besass die "Stadt Luzern" auf dem Vorderdeck ebenfalls einen Segelmast, um bei günstigem Wind den Maschinenantrieb zu unterstützen und den Brennholzver- brauch zu senken. Auf der offenen Ladefläche bot ein weites Sonnensegel den Schiffspassagieren Schutz, jedoch keinen Salon – erst im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden die Dampfschiffe auf dem Vierwaldstättersee allmählich damit ausgestattet.1 Urner Nauengesellschaft kämpft ums Überleben Tatsächlich war die "Stadt Luzern" nicht nur für den Personen-, sondern auch für den Waren- und Güterverkehr bestimmt, und zwar vornehmlich auf der Gotthardroute. Der bisherige Nauenver- kehr genügte den Anforderungen nicht mehr, weshalb die Kantone Basel, Solothurn und Tessin ab 1826 Luzern und Uri zum Betrieb eines Dampfschiffs auf der Strecke Luzern-Flüelen drängten. Die Pläne stiessen auf den erbitterten Widerstand der luzernischen und urnerischen Nauengesell- schaften, die berechtigterweise um ihre wirtschaftliche Existenz fürchteten.

  • Andermatt Swiss Alps
    ANDERMATT SWISS ALPS editorial The first time I visited Andermatt, I encountered something special: the unadulterated natural beauty of a Swiss moun- tain village in the heart of the Alps. And I was inspired – not only by the village of Andermatt, but by the whole valley. This expansive high-mountain valley, the Ursern Valley, with its wild and romantic natural landscape, inspired my vision of Andermatt Swiss Alps. Even then, it was clear to me that the soul of this region is the untouched nature. And I intend to preserve this. I see sustainability as a cornerstone upon which the develop- ment of Andermatt is based. I warmly invite you to discover the charm of the Swiss Alps. Step into a world that is closer than you think. Welcome to Andermatt Swiss Alps! Samih Sawiris Sawiris’ vision has since become reality, in the form of the new hotels, apartment buildings and chalets of Ander matt Swiss Alps, the unique golf course and the multifaceted SkiArena. The properties next to the Reuss offer guests a range of modern residential options and are sought-after investment assets as well. The portfolio rang- es from practical studios to spacious apartments and penthouses. Streets and walks in Andermatt are short – and it should stay that way: The village area next to the Reuss is car- free; an underground garage provides ample parking space. The mountain cableway terminals, shops, restau- rants and public facilities are easily accessible by foot in every season and are integrated into the village life of Andermatt. The central Piazza Gottardo also contributes to this.
