founding
On July 25, 1893, Dean Josef Tschopp called for the establishment of a German-language history association in the canton of Friborg in the “ Freiburger Zeitung ”: “The Germans slept for over half a century. Wouldn't it be time we woke up and mobilized our modest forces to found a German historical society? ”On November 16 of the same year, the founding meeting of the German History Researcher (from 1897: History Researcher) was held in the Brasserie Peier in Freiburg of the Canton of Friborg. The first president of the association was Albert Büchi (1864–1930), professor of Swiss history and general history of antiquity at the University of Freiburg.
