The Gesellschaft zu Zimmerleuten is one of the 13 societies and guilds in the city of Bern and a public corporation guaranteed by the constitution of the Canton of Bern . It is a civil corporation within the meaning of Bernese municipal legislation and is subject to the supervision of the cantonal authorities. As a personal corporation, it does not have its own territory and is taxable. It includes all citizens of Bern who have company law on carpenters. At present the Carpenters Society has around 1300 members.

Until 1798, the Society for Carpenters comprised the crafts of carpenters , table makers ( joiners ), cooper and wagons . The Bernese cooper appear in the sources for the first time in 1314. In 1373 carpenters and roofers (shingle roofers ) are first mentioned in a document.
