The Oath at the Grutli - A Symbol of German Unity and European Identity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Oath at the Grutli" an engraving created by the German School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a significant historical event that holds great significance for Germany and Europe as a whole. The scene captures the moment when three Swiss cantons, Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden, gathered at Lake Lucerne's meadow known as Grutli to swear an oath of mutual defense against external threats. This solemn pledge took place in 1291 and is considered one of the founding moments in Switzerland's history. Beyond its national importance, this engraving also represents broader themes related to German identity and European unity. It serves as a reminder of Germany's rich cultural heritage while emphasizing its role within Europe. The image resonates with notions of Teutonic strength and solidarity among Germans throughout history. Moreover, this artwork carries contemporary relevance due to its connection with the European Union (EU). As Europe strives for greater integration and cooperation among nations today, "The Oath at the Grutli" serves as a powerful symbol of shared values and aspirations across borders. With careful restoration work applied digitally to enhance its details, this print allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical significance. It invites us all to reflect on our collective past while envisioning a united future for Germany, Europe
