DOI: 11 Demonstrating in Zurich between 1830 and 1940: From Bourgeois Protest to Proletarian Street Politics CHRISTIAN KOLLER Since the late twentieth century, the city of Zurich has been a favourite destination for all sorts of demonstration tourism. The youth disturbances of the early 1980s attracted many teens and twenty-somethings from other parts of Switzerland and also from abroad. 1 Since the early 1990s, the so-called Nachdemonstration (post- demonstration) on May Day, which regularly climaxes in violent street battles between the 'autonomous' black bloc and police forces, 2 has attracted a growing number of self-appointed German revolutionaries. And the Street Parade, which began in 1992 with 1,000 participants as a demonstration for love, peace, freedom, and tolerance, is today attended by about a million ravers every year.3 I am very grateful to Ashkira Darman and Fabian Brandle for their valuable contributions. 1 See Hanspeter Kriesi, Die Zürcher Bewegung: Bilder, Interaktionen, Zusammenhänge (Frankfurt am Main, 1984); Heinz Nigg (ed.), Wir wollen alles, und zwar subito!

From 1968 on, these protests by immigrant workers against a number of dictatorial regimes were also joined by students and activists of the New Left. In the 1980s, and especially in the 1990s, the post-demonstration was radicalized and brutalized. Around 2000, it increasingly lost its political content and became an occasion for teenage hooliganism. See Reinhard Fatke and Barbara Fontanellaz, Nachdemonstration zum 1.

Even before the First World War, May Day demon- strations in Zurich were attended by a large number of immigrant workers. The organizing committee usually tried to have one Italian speaker, such as Comrade Benito Mussolini, for instance, on I May 1913.4 However, the bourgeois belief that public protest is a foreign phenomenon-already to be found in the late nineteenth century5-is not true at all. Public protest has a long tradition in Zurich's political culture, not least in the history of several bour- geois movements, although its forms underwent major changes during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and peaceful organized protest marches emerged only in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This essay will analyse the origins of public protest and look at continuities and changes, explicit and hidden messages, the problem of violence, and the question of how successful these forms of protest were. Roots Organized protest marches, which became popular in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, have at least three roots.6 First, there are the more or less spontaneous protest marches that had been an important part of peasant and urban disturbances since the Middle Ages. Especially around 1800, in the era of the Helvetic revolution, the canton of Zurich witnessed many rural protest movements of this kind. 7 Secondly, we can identify the 4 Schweizerisches Sozialarchiv (hereafter SSA) 335/59 Z2 May pamphlets from 1911. 5 See e.g. Stadthote, 27 June 1886. 6 See also Ruecli Brassel-Moser, 'Demonstrationen', in Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz (electronic publication), version of 19 Nov. 2001; Richard Weiss, 'Sozialistische Maifeier und Volksbrauch', ~Schweizerische Monatsschrifl, 3/5 (1943), 56-60. 7 Rolf Graber, .:{,eit des T eilens: Volksbewegungen und Volksunruhen aef der .:{,iircher Landschrift 1794-1804 (Zurich, 2003); Otto Hunziker (ed.), .:{,eitgenossische Darstellungen der Unruhen in der Landschrift Z,iirich, 1794-1798 (Basle, 1897); on early modern and 19th-century crowds in general, see Georges Lefebvre, La Grande Peur de 1789 (Paris, 1932); Eric J.

Processions and parades were long a central representative element of politi­ cal and clerical power. The most important of Zurich's parades, however, the march of the guilds during the spring festival of Sechselauten, emerged only in 1839, when the guilds had already lost their former constitutional power, and it has taken place regularly since about 1850. 8 But under the ancien regi,me,the guilds used to parade on the Schwifrtage, the days when the citizens had (Stanford, Calif, 1975), 152-87; Albert Soboul, Franzbsische Revolution und Volksbewegung: Die Sansculotten-die Sektionen von Paris im]ahre II, ed.

The protests of the era of bourgeois revolutions up to 1869 are the third source. In this era, peaceful protest was not yet articulated in organized marches, but took the form of large rallies, mostly outside the capital. Era of Bourgeois and Peasant Protest (1830s-1870s) Public protest was an important and successful element of Zurich's nineteenth-century political culture. The liberal era of 'regeneration' (1830-48) started with a rally in Uster on 22 November 1830. 10 It was attended by 12,000 people and resolved to present the government with the Uster Petition (Uster Memorial). However, from the start, it was not certain that the rally would take a peaceful course. Two years later, Johann Caspar Ott, a participant at the meeting, wrote: 'Strongly affected by the unusual speeches and the whole proceedings, but without any excessive behaviour, the crowd dispersed again. The mood of those returning was cheerful again, and it was clear that most were glad that the whole event had passed without violence.' 11 After this rally, the aristocratic restoration government, having 9 See Gerald Domer, Kirche, Klerus und kirchliches Leben in Zurich von der Brunschen Revolution (r336) bis zur Reformation {r523) (Wiirzburg, 1996), 18; Bruno Koch, Neuburger in Zurich (Weimar, 2002), 58-9; Wilhelm Ebel, Der Burgereid als Geltungsgrund und Gestaltu111f,sprinzip des deutschen mittelalterlichen Stadtrechts (Weimar, 1958), 461 ; Rainer Jooss, 'Schworen und Schwortage in siiddeutschen Reichsstadten:

  • Obituary Manfred Kossok (1930-1993)
    Obituary Manfred Kossok (1930-1993) FRIEDRICH KATZ* ENRIQUE SEMO** Early in 1993, Manfred Kossok, one of Germany's leading historians of Latin America, died in Leipzig. For most of his life, he taught history at the Karl Marx University of Leipzig in what was the German Democratic Re­ public. Kossok was a student of Walter Markov, the dean of East Germany's historians. Markov, a specialist in the history of the French Revolution, had spent 11 years in a Nazi prison, where the library contained a huge number of books on colonial problems and especially German colonial ventures. This may have been the basis for Markov's interest in colonial problems, which led him to set up a workshop at the University of Leipzig to examine the history of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Kossok be­ came the main Latin Americanist in that group, and after studying with Markov, he went to the University of Cologne to study the colonial his­ tory of Latin America with Richard Konetzke, the dean of German Latin American historians. Refusing an offer to teach at Cologne, Kossok returned to East Ger­ many, where he first wrote a dissertation on the social and economic organization of the Rio de la Plata in the colonial period. He then wrote a second dissertation (Habilitationsschrift) that was published under the title 1m Schatten der heiligen Allianz (In the Shadow of the Holy Alliance, 1964). On the basis of a huge number of unpublished archival sources from Germany, Austria, France, Britain, Spain, and Russia, Kossok pro­ ceeded to analyze the reasons for the failure of the Holy Alliance's efforts to reconquer Spanish America for Spain.

  • University of Zurich: Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics Programme: MA in Banking and Finance
    University of Zurich: Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics Programme: MA in Banking and Finance Started: Winter Semester 2017 (expected graduation as of June 2019) Mária Partelová [email protected] University and Programme UZH is ranked as the 3rd university in Switzerland and 73rd worldwide according to QS University Ranking 2018. My two-years Master’s degree is in Banking and Finance and it is taught in English. Students can choose among many programmes and specializations, which can be found here: https://www.oec.uzh.ch/en/studies/master.html. The ones with a good reputation are Economics and Banking and Finance. Moreover, there is a joint Master’s degree of UZH and ETH in Quantitative Finance, which is surely best renowned. It is quite selective and challenging, but there are students from IES who were accepted and finished it. You can also officially start Banking and Finance, pass successfully all the courses required for Quant Finance and be reallocated after one year. The lectures are usually good, many of them are held by experienced professors which studied/worked before at the top universities such as MIT, Harvard Business School, Stanford, etc. You can choose lots of diverse courses at UZH and as a student of UZH, you can also take courses from ETH which you are interested in. With respect to my programme, compared to the Bachelor’s programme at IES, it is not more difficult in terms of content of courses, but it is quite demanding in terms of work that has to be done during the semester.
