Dis- cover the genteel charm of its stately patrician manors, its main square in baroque style and the Town Hall with its murals from the 19th century. Did you know that two famous items distinctive to Switzerland originated here in Schwyz? Schwyz is home to the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife and the Swiss Charter – Switzerland’s myth- enshrouded founding document. The two Mythen mountains (Grosser Mythen and Kleiner Mythen) tower majesti- cally over Schwyz. This pair of peaks gave the surrounding hiking and winter sports region its name. Experience the Alps on a visit to Fronalpstock or the Rigi massif – just two of the many destinations in the surrounding region. Schwyz is also the gate- way to the Muota Valley, a veritable nature paradise. Memorable day trips and relaxing holidays are our trademark. We wish you an unforgettable stay. vorlage_infoschwyz_e_korr6.qxp 04.11.15 11:16 Seite 3 Stately manors mark the landscape in and around Schwyz. They bear archi- tectural witness to a vibrant history full of change. BRIEF HISTORY The name of Schwyz. In all likelihood, the name has Germanic roots: the word «sueit» means to scorch or to burn. According to this, Schwyz would be named after a pre- Alemannic glade or cleared woodland. The name of Switzerland was derived from the village’s name Schwyz, which is also the name of the canton. Schwyz was a ham- let with an important function due to its central location, granting it market rights, but no municipal laws. 15th and 16th century. At the end of the 15th century mercenary soldiers served in foreign armies – out of the spirit of adventure as well as out of economic necessity. Hundreds of young men went to war under the banners of influential mercenary lea- ders from Schwyz. Their commanders also had leading roles, for they were diplo- matically competent, educated and wealthy. 18th century. Schwyz must have appeared quite idyllic to strangers at that time. This is verified by travel accounts, for example, by J.W. Goethe. Undoubtedly, the quality of life was high for the upper class, but the situation for the peasants and day la- bourers was very modest. The invasion of French troops in 1798 proved to be dis- astrous for Schwyz, for despite valiant resistance, the inhabitants of Schwyz were forced to surrender. 19th and 20th century. After the new Federal State was established in 1848, changes occurred in Schwyz only gradually. Rigorous village structures and stringent moral guidelines resulted in scepticism towards innovations from the outside: technology and tourism were only cautiously accepted. The Catholic Church had a decisive in- fluence on life at that time with its holy days of obligation and traditional customs.

Juni 2018 1. Grundsatz Der Gemeinderat Arth hat sich im April 2008 für eine Teilnahme am slowUp Schwyz - Swiss Knife Valley ab 2010 ausgesprochen. Ein slowUp ist eine rund 30 km lange Rundstrecke, welche am betreffenden Tag für den motorisierten Verkehr gesperrt ist. Ein vielseitiges Rahmenprogramm entlang der Strecke macht den slowUp zu einem Erlebnis für Jung und Alt. Beim slowUp können Tempo und Distanz individuell gewählt werden. Ob zu Fuss, mit dem Velo, mit Kickboard, auf Inlineskates oder mit allem, was sich ohne Motor fortbewegt, kann die Strecke oder ein Teil davon bewältigt werden. Ein slowUp ist kein Rennen und kein Konkurrenzkampf, sondern viel mehr Spass an der Bewegung; jeder Teil- nehmer ist ein Gewinner. Beim slowUp Schwyz – Swiss Knife Valley kann je nach Wetterverhältnissen mit 15'000 bis 30'000 Besuchern gerechnet werden. 2. Lokales OK Gemeinde Arth Die gesamte slowUp Organisation gliedert sich in die nationale Trägerschaft slow- Up, die regionale Trägerschaft slowUp Schwyz - Swiss Knife Valley sowie die lokalen Gemeinde OK’s.

  • Clarity on Swiss Taxes 2019
    Clarity on Swiss Taxes Playing to natural strengths 4 16 Corporate taxation Individual taxation Clarity on Swiss Taxes EDITORIAL Welcome Switzerland remains competitive on the global tax stage according to KPMG’s “Swiss Tax Report 2019”. This annual study analyzes corporate and individual tax rates in Switzerland and internationally, analyzing data to draw comparisons between locations. After a long and drawn-out reform process, the Swiss Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) is reaching the final stages of maturity. Some cantons have already responded by adjusting their corporate tax rates, and others are sure to follow in 2019 and 2020. These steps towards lower tax rates confirm that the Swiss cantons are committed to competitive taxation. This will be welcomed by companies as they seek stability amid the turbulence of global protectionist trends, like tariffs, Brexit and digital service tax. It’s not just in Switzerland that tax laws are being revised. The national reforms of recent years are part of a global shift towards international harmonization but also increased legislation. For tax departments, these regulatory developments mean increased pressure. Their challenge is to safeguard compliance, while also managing the risk of double or over-taxation. In our fast-paced world, data-driven technology and digital enablers will play an increasingly important role in achieving these aims. Peter Uebelhart Head of Tax & Legal, KPMG Switzerland Going forward, it’s important that Switzerland continues to play to its natural strengths to remain an attractive business location and global trading partner. That means creating certainty by finalizing the corporate tax reform, building further on its network of FTAs, delivering its “open for business” message and pressing ahead with the Digital Switzerland strategy.

  • Switzerland in the 19Th Century
    Switzerland in the 19th century The founding of the Swiss federal state ushered in a period of greater stability as regards both domestic and foreign affairs. The revised Constitution of 1874 extended the powers of the federal government and introduced the optional legislative referendum. Switzerland developed its system of direct democracy further and in 1891 granted the people the right of initiative on the partial revision of the Federal Constitution. That same year the Catholic conservatives – the losers of the Sonderbund war – celebrated, for the first time, the election of one of its representatives to the federal government. The federal state used its new powers to create favourable conditions for the development of a number of industries and service sectors (railways, machine construction and metalworking, chemicals, food industry and banking). These would become the mainstays of the Swiss economy. Not everyone in Switzerland reaped the benefits of the economic upturn. In the 19th century poverty, hunger and a lack of job prospects drove many Swiss people to seek their fortunes elsewhere, particularly in North and South America. At home, industrial towns and cities saw an influx of rural and, increasingly, foreign migrants. Living conditions for many members of this new urban working class were often precarious. Foreign policy During the wave of revolution that engulfed Europe in the early 1850s, relations between Switzerland and Austria, which also ruled northern Italy, were extremely tense. Many Italians, who wanted to see a united and independent Italy (Risorgimento), sought refuge in liberal- run Ticino. The local community sympathised with their cause, some even fighting alongside their Italian comrades or smuggling weapons for them.
