history

The Society to Pfistern (Latin pistor ) appears in the sources for the first time in the 14th century and included the bakers and millers . At that time there was a room at Niederpfistern and one at Oberpfistern (depending on the location in the city). From the 15th century one of the four had Venner Berns room journeyman Pfistern be. The up-and-coming generations of the Venner societies Pfistern, Schmieden, Metzgern and Gerwern thus had a political privilege. Numerous families increasingly devoted themselves to politics and in modern times formed the patriciate. This explains the high number of ruling families on Pfistern.
