history
The first country estates and summer houses were built around 1800. In the 19th century exclusive residential quarters were created (at the Grosse Schanze and on the Engeh peninsula). The rear part of the Länggasse was originally characterized by industrial buildings (Tobler, Von Roll), but then developed into a residential area for officials and workers. In 1903 the main building of the University of Bern was completed at the Grosse Schanze . In 1914 the Swiss National Exhibition took place on the Viererfeld in the Engeried district, and in 1928 the Swiss Exhibition for Women's Labor took place there .

- ↑ In District I, the GFL achieved a slightly higher election target. Its results, however, are not very meaningful, as the majority of the votes there come from people who voted in the polling stations in the old town (or at Bern train station) but live in other quarters.
