Stand disk
Solothurn stand disk ( Ämterscheibe ) (approx. 1510–1530)
Zurich stand disk (1679)
As able slices representations are the arms of the Swiss cantons ( stalls ) and glass painting called ( coats of arms ). This makes them one of the Swiss discs .
The tradition of the status discs begins around 1485, as an expression of the increased self-confidence of the old confederation's estates after the Burgundian Wars . A complete set of stand panes was made in 1501 for the meeting room of the Swiss Diet in Baden . Stand disks remained widespread in the early modern period ( Dreizehnortige Confederation ) and partly in modern Switzerland. In 1902, the 22 canton's coats of arms were attached to the Bundeshaus dome as a glass painting (executed by Johann Albert Lüthi ).
