The archery society of the city of Bern is a rifle society in the city of Bern , which is made up exclusively of members of genders formerly eligible for regiment .

history

The Bernese archers may have been practicing on the Schützenmatt until 1630 , but were later assigned to the Zwingelhof (today's Bollwerk ). Melchior Berri planned a new rifle house at Burgerspital (today Bogenschützenstrasse) in 1830 , which was built by Eduard Stettler. With the construction of the station , the archers had to move again and in 1893/94 received their current rifle house in Kirchenfeld , built by the architect René von Wurstemberger . The gable of the Berri building with the inscription SIC AVITA PATRIA RESURGAT was reused in the new building. Up until 1830, the archers held a bird shooting and folk festival on the Schützenmatt on the first Tuesday in May , in which a wooden parrot was shot on a pole. The winner receives royal dignity for one year.

In 2014 the members of the society consisted of members of the families von Bonstetten , Brunner , zu Dohna , von Erlach , von Fischer , von Graffenried , von May , von Sinner , von Werdt , Thormann , von Tavel , von Wattenwyl , Wurstemberger , Stämpfli, von Steiger (white) and Zeerleder together.
