Wortgeschichte Nr. 135: Chilbi und Knabenschiessen
Landauf, landab finden besonders im Spätsommer und Frühherbst die Chilbenen oder Chilbinen statt – Jahrmärkte mit einem (wie man in Deutschland sagt) Rummelplatz. Dieses Wort lässt kaum mehr erkennen, was dahintersteckt: Es ist Chilch-Wîhi, also «Kirchweihe». In fast allen Deutschschweizer Mundarten wurde das Grundwort Wîhi aber zu -wi verkürzt und das inlautende -ch- ist fast überall geschwunden, womit das Wort nun Chilwi hiess. In alten Texten ist «kilwi» verbreitet zu finden; heute hat es sich auf die Urschweiz zurückgezogen. In einem weiteren Schritt hat sich nämlich aus -lw- ein -lb- entwickelt (wie auch das schriftdeutsche «gelb» aus einen mittelhochdeutschen gelw- entstanden ist), womit wir bei «durchschnittsschweizerdeutschem» Chilbi gelandet sind. Die eigentliche Bedeutung war «Weihe einer neuen Kirche». Gewöhnlich verstand man dann aber «jährliches Gedächtnisfest der Weihe einer Kirche (oder eines Altars)» darunter. Dieses Gedächtnisfest hat sich indes nach und nach verselbständigt, sodass die heutigen Chilbenen kaum mehr an dem Datum gefeiert werden, an dem die Kirche oder der Altar einst geweiht worden war – das Wort bedeutete je länger je mehr einfach «Jahrmarkt» und noch jünger schlicht «Rummelplatz». Bei der grössten aller Schweizer Chilbenen ist der historische Zusammenhang aber noch zu erahnen: Das Zürcher Knabenschiessen findet nicht zufällig am zweiten Septemberwochenende statt, sondern es setzt das alte Patronatsfest des Grossmünsters fort, das in vorreformatorischer Zeit Felix und Regula geweiht war – und deren Tag ist der 11. September. Chilbenen waren schon im Mittelalter beliebt, und man besuchte gerne alle möglichen, selbst wenn sie weit entfernt waren. An die «kylby zuo Basel» am Sebastianstag 1521 «komen die von Ury, Schwitz und Lutzern mitsampt ettlichen zuogewantten by hundert manen». Dabei wurde so viel gegessen, dass ein Kritiker 1601 schrieb, die Chilbenen seien «reine Buchfest», also Bauchfeste. Das tüchtige Feiern bereitete der Obrigkeit natürlich immer wieder Sorge: 1540 ärgerte sich die Schaffhauser Synode etwa, dass «die frömbden kilchwihinen [...] mit unzüchtigem dantzen, spilen, trincken et cetera» begangen würden. Spiele und Wettkämpfe waren ebenfalls ein fester Bestandteil – darunter häufig das Armbrustschiessen. Andernorts ging es ziviler zu und her, so kannte man im Luzerner Hinterland das Chääszänne: Wer die ulkigste Grimasse schneiden konnte, bekam als Belohnung ein Stück Käse. Ein weiterer Chilbibrauch war ebenda das Chäässtäche, an dem die Teilnehmer mit verbundenen Augen mit einem Säbel auf einen Käse einstechen mussten. Um aber Mord- und Totschlag zu verhindern, wurde den Besuchern sonst befohlen, ihre Waffen zu Hause lassen; so bestimmte der Zürcher Rat 1418, «daz nieman, wer der ist, mit enkeiner wery an und uff enhein kilwi gan sol». Zum Schluss noch einmal zum Knabenschiessen, dem heute alle Chnaabeschüüsse sagen und über das man witzelt, dass hier Knaben erschossen würden. Das kommt davon, wenn die Zürcher und Zürcherinnen nicht mehr wissen, dass dieser Anlass eigentlich richtig Chnaabeschüüsset heisst! Ein Schüüsset oder Schiesset ist ein Anlass, an dem geschossen wird. Und das Knabenschiessen, Pardon: der Knabenschiesset war einst eine vormilitärische Waffenübung der Zürcher Jugend. Versüsst wird die Teilnahme nicht erst heute mit Gaben: 1692 war der höchste Preis «ein Taler mit drei silbernen Kettemlein», und jeder Teilnehmer erhielt zumindest ein «silbernes Ringlein, dardurch ein weis und blau Dafetband als der Statt Ehrenfarb gezogen». Heute erhält der Schützenkönig oder die Schützenkönigin von der Kantonalbank 5000 Franken, und alle, die teilgenommen haben, bekommen von derselben 20 Franken plus einen Franken je geschossenen Punkt auf ihr Jugendkonto gutgeschrieben. Der Nutzen hat sich also vom Staat (schiesstüchtige Jungmannschaft) auf dessen Bank (neue Kunden) verschoben ... (CL)

23 April 2001 - the Böögg burns slowly - James Joyce found in Fluntern
Grüezi Mitenand! Bonjour! Buongiorno! Hi everyone!
Thank you for joining me on the fifth day of the April 2001 journey. Today is Monday the 23rd April 2001.
As I was still under the influence of jetlag, I went to bed early the previous night after dinner. I consequently woke up about 4:40 AM, it was still dark. I did not have any roommates to disturb so I just went to the shower in the hall. The hostel would not serve breakfast until 6 AM, so I left the hostel about 5 AM, walked to the Besenrainstrasse bus stop and took it to Morgental where I changed to the tram line 7 - note, I had my Swiss Pass with me, so I did not have to buy a separate ticket. I picked up a copy of the 20 Minuten newspaper and it had an article about today's upcoming event at 6 PM, the Sechseläuten burning of the Böögg.
What is a Böögg? Since the 19th Century, Sechseläuten has been celebrated every mid-April in Zürich. According to zuerich.com, "Who or What is a Böögg? The word “Böögg” is probably related to the word “bogeyman” and similar names in other languages for this frightening imaginary figure, such as Bullebeiss, Buhmann or Boesman. In Zurich, the Böögg resembles a snowman and symbolizes the winter. The burning of the Böögg serves to drive out the winter and herald the spring." Eventually the Bürkliplatz towards Lake Zürich was too small, so it was moved across the Limmat eastward to the Bellevueplatz, on the northern end of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung headquarters. You might know the Bellevueplatz as the starting point for the Street Parade techno music festivals that start about 1 PM on the second Saturday in August, of which I have been to five in total so far.
So what happens at the Sechseläuten festival? Sechseläuten is a half-day holiday, in the Canton of Zürich, but nowhere specifically else in Switzerland. The Böögg is a textile snowman filled with explosives and is meant to be set alight on a controlled flame, in other words, a bonfire. The most explosives are put in the snowman's head. Then there is a parade, for the guilds of Zürich from Paradeplatz to Bellevueplatz, to put the Böögg on top of the wood for the bonfire. That is the plan for the afternoon.
I took the tram about 5:15 AM to Selnau station and walked from one end to the other. I exited the station, and walked along Sihlstrasse to the intersection of Talstrasse and Löwenstrasse. At the pedestrian crossing there was a crossing stripe with the phrase "rauf mit den o+löhnen" spraypainted, with o+ being the female symbol, I guess a demand for gender pay equality. That was about 5:35 AM, according to the picture screenshot.
About 5:38 AM I found a guild sign, namely the "Zunft Schwamendingen" while walking along Talackerstrasse that leads southeast to Paradeplatz. At Paradeplatz was a big banner for the local tram company VBZ (Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich) "damit am Sechseläuten nur der Böögg den Kopf verliert" (so that on Sechseläuten, only the Böögg loses his head". I remember from September 2000 a similar banner for Knabenschiessen, as I was in Zürich for that festival as well. I took a tram to Bellevueplatz to have a look at the bonfire. It must have been stacked about two stories high. I took a tram line 6 to Bahnhof Enge and then tram 7 to the hostel. It was about 6:55 AM and the hostel started serving breakfast, in the part where in 2004 onwards the checkin desk is located now. With the renovations of December 2001 onwards, the checkin desk and hostel restaurant had swapped sides of the hostel ground floor. I can explain at another time. Breakfast included bread, cheese, cold cut meats, dry cereal, milk, tea, orange juice and coffee. Coffee was from the espresso machine and you could order at least three different kinds of coffee drinks, all for free during breakfast. For tea, you would pick out a bag, and with the espresso machine just select the hot water.
As the Sechseläuten parade would not start until about 2 PM, I decided to make a couple of side trips. One of which to Aarau in the canton of Aargau to the northwest, and to Üetliberg to compare a nice sunny and warm September visit would be to a chilly one in April. I thus took my video camera, my Swiss Pass, and headed to the Besenrainstrasse bus stop, Morgental and on to Zürich HB. I boarded a train to Bern that would stop at Lenzburg AG and Aarau. There was not much in Aarau that I particularly wanted to see, other than the Altstadt and crossing the Aare at Flösserplatz. Little did I know that Aarau is close to the cantonal border with Solothurn, and I did not take time to walk along route 5 to cross, but I made up for it a few days later when changing trains at Olten. Before returning to Zürich, I remember passing by the Pickwick pub. It was, and is still, at Graben 6 close to the Kasinopark. It was not yet 11 AM and I was in no mood for any alcohol at that time, and I needed to return to Zürich.
I took the train back to Zürich via Lenzburg, and changed to the S-10. I may have mentioned the S-10 many times in the past, and it is an anomaly in comparison to the other S-Bahn lines in Zürich. Its rolling stock, instead of the standard 15 kV / 16 2/3 Hz voltage as used by SBB, Deutsche Bahn and ÖBB of Austria, uses the 1,000 V DC, which is long since outdated and is due to be decommissioned by 2023, but is still used by the existing rolling stock. To avoid a conflict of voltages, the pantographs of the S-10 rolling stock are moved from the center of the train but placed on the left side (assuming the direction of travel is towards Zürich HB) with its own catenary. Parts of the tunnel between Zürich HB, Selnau and Binz/Giesshübel allow for opposite side and switchback use by both lines S-4 and S-10, but SBB and VBZ have seen an increase in ridership on S-10 and they are trying to invest in line expansion, so the 1,000 V DC power will need to be decommissioned and only one power source will be supported. The S-18, aka Forchbahn, is another story, which I will not go into at this time.
About 11:25 AM I returned to Zürich HB. The tracks to the S-10 are underground and close to the Bahnhofplatz and Löwenstrasse rail station platforms. In 2001, the platforms were called platform 1 for the S-10 and platform 2 for the S-4. After the opening of the four platform Löwenstrasse station, platforms were renumbered, so platform 1 and platform 2 are now platform 21 and 22, the Löwenstrasse station platforms 31 to 34, and the original S-Bahn station towards the National Museum, are called platforms 41 to 44, when they used to be 21 to 24 when first opened. Sigh, you have to admire the progress that Switzerland went through during 20+ years...... I think I boarded a 11:35 AM S-10 train to Üetliberg that did not terminate at Triemli (had that happen to me in July 1998). I remember passing by the Giesshübel station about 11:41 AM. So far there was no sign of any significant snow, and the skies were mostly clear, though the air was chilly, maybe mid 40s or +4 to +6 Celsius. After the train passed Uitikon, the snow was starting to show up.
By the time I reached Üetliberg, there was about six inches of snow almost everywhere, tracks visible but sleepers covered. It was 11:58 AM when I stepped out of the train, and some of the snow had started to melt, so I had to watch where I stepped. At Üetiberg they still have an axle with a cog, but the Üetlibergbahn S-10 line does not use any cog rail at all, and is billed as one of Switzerland's steepest rail lines that does not use either a cog or traction cable. Prior to 2016 I used to love to ride the fun roller slide where you use a hard V shaped coaster and the rollers have a ten foot decline with maybe three or four bends. I rode it the last time in September 2000, and made a video of it. I think it was dismantled in 2016 or earlier and replaced by a less entertaining set of stationary bicycles or similar.
It was getting close to 1 PM so I headed back down to where I could catch the tram line 7 to the hostel, get a fresh camera battery, and find a good place to view the Sechseläuten Parade. Somehow I walked to just outside the Münsterhof location of Leder Locher, and a band was practicing at 2:25 PM, about thirty people in total, and in Georgian / US Revolutionary period costume, though I could not tell you to what guild they belonged to. I remember there was a little girl about 5 or 6 years old with a Pooh Bear balloon. I walked to the Bahnhofstrasse, somewhere near the Bärengasse and watched the parade for an hour or so. There were many musicians from various guilds, and even the wine barrel making guild had an excellent percussion session. The baker guild threw bread rolls at the crowd.
At 5 PM I walked towards Bürkliplatz to cross eastwards to Bellevueplatz so that I could have a good view of the Böögg. I found some place where I could see the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" corporate sign. I think I was about a hundred feet away, and could see about fifteen feet of firewood as well as the Böögg itself. I had a nice view, and was getting very excited for 6 PM to ring. By then, the cavalry was circled around the bonfire.
It eventually turned 6 PM. The time had come to start the bonfire. Unfortunately it was getting cloudy and colder, upper 30s, or maybe +3 to +5 C. What is important to note about the bonfire, is how long it takes, from exactly 6 PM to when the Böögg's head explodes with the explosives. If the fire takes less than ten minutes for the Böögg's head to explode, then it will be a good summer in Zürich. Otherwise it may be a chilly one (e.g. 1997 and 2017 from what I remember, temperatures below normal and precipitation above normal). On 23 April 2001, it took a while. Even by 6:10 PM, the flames had not even made it halfway up to the Böögg. Fuel had to be put on the fire as it was going out. About 6:20 PM, the flames made it to the Böögg's feet and explosives started to pop. The Böögg's textile skin started burning and more explosives went off. It is not over until its head completely disappears. The next five minutes would be suspenseful. About 6:27 PM the Böögg was reduced to his head and a wooden frame where his "body" used to be. And right as my video camera's clock said 6:28 PM, I caught an explosion that was about five times the size of the Böögg's head. The crowd, of maybe 10,000 people at the time, cheered, and the head guild's band played a victory song. At 6:29 PM, all that was left on the bonfire, was a wooden frame and where the head used to be, just a charred out 2 by 4. According to the head guild, Sechseläuten 2001 was declared "mission accomplished".
After such excitement, I thought I should do the cable car rotation, namely the Polybahn and Rigiblickbahn, that I remember riding in 1997, 1998 and 2000. Then I would come back by tram lines 5 or 6. From Bellevueplatz, I walked to Central, the lower station of the Polybahn. If you have heard of ETH Zürich, that is the upper station of the Polybahn. My prior ride on it was on Friday the 24th July 1998 with my striped top hat, and I took a selfie about 3:30 PM that day. The Polybahn was still operating at 6:55 PM so I took it up to ETH Zürich, and managed to watch the other car go down to Central. I took the next tram from the ETH/Universitätsspital three stops to Seilbahn Rigiblick, and around 7:10 PM I took the cable car up to the upper station. The Seilbahn Rigiblick is automated kind of like an inclinator at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. You pick your station, Goldauer Strasse, Hadlaubstrasse, Germaniastrasse and Rigiblick, then it makes the appropriate stop. It was built so well, that if both cars stopped along the way, you would be at any one of the stops (Goldauer Strasse for one and Germania Strasse for the other). I was at the top station, and there was a bus line 39 to Im Klösterli near the zoo. Interestingly enough, for those who like James Joyce's literature, he is buried close by at the Fluntern cemetery. I thought about eating at the Klösterli restaurant, but I took a pass after looking at the dinner prices so I went back to Niederdorferstrasse by tram line 6, where I know that prices are more reasonable. By then it was about 7:45 PM and the sun was about to set. The tram did pass Toblerplatz, for which there is a famous triangular chocolate bar named after it. Also the trolleybus line 33 terminates there, still does after part of its route was cut back and replaced years later with line 72, also a trolleybus line.
I ended up back at the ETH/Universitätsspital tram stop, took the Polybahn down to Central, and looked for my favorite restaurant to eat supper at. In April 2001 I did not know of Bierhalle Wolf, that I more frequently visit since 2011, so I did not go there then. Instead I went to the Brasserie Johanniter on Niederdorferstrasse 70, had a seat inside, and started off with a liter of Hürlimann Lager. The last time I ate at Johanniter, I had their Graubündner Spätzle with ham, cheese and onions, and luckily it was still on the menu. It was priced 20 Francs. I think 2002 it was withdrawn and the only Spätzle they serve anymore is in the vegetarian style. I had someone share my table, and we had a conversation, not very deep. After paying our respective tabs, we went on our ways. I went back to Bellevueplatz to see what remained, if anything, of the Böögg, and there was still the skeleton that I remember from 6:29 PM. So I went back to the hostel to sleep, as tomorrow would be a travel day to Bern.
Please join me as tomorrow I will see two new cantons, one of which has two half-cantons. Then we will see a new astrological clock similar to the one in Prague, and not too far from the Bundeshaus. See you then.
Auf wiederluege! Au revoir! Arrivederci! Goodbye!

4, 13, 16 plz😅😚
Hi hi^-^ thank you so much for asking anonie!!~🥰
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
There's so many omg but my favourites is Birchermuesli which is a healthy dish that's something in between cereal and porridge - it's usually made with oats and granola and fruits and milk and yogurt etc. It's super delicious!!🥺👉🏻👈🏻
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?
We've got so many but!! One that always shocks outsiders when they first hear of it is the legendary "Knabenschiessen" which literally translates to "boys shooting" and it is a folk festival that lasts a few days and is held in mid September. And don't worry, we're not shooting boys down during this festival, we let boys shoot- (girls, too, since 1991). It's basically an event for teenagers aged 13-17 who compete in a shooting competition and the winner will be crowned as King or Queen. They're using actual Swiss army service rifles btw...which probably sounds bizarre to those who aren't familiar with it.😂 But yeah, it's a super popular tradition that's been around for centuries. We Swiss are super obsessed with getting shooting right. Since we do have mandatory military service, most men are being trained to learn how to shoot. They also can keep their weapons after they've finished their military service (and get a permit for it) and so, there's a lot of guns here- I've actually done some research and apparently Switzerland has the third highest gun ownership rate right after the US and Yemen (the number is dropping though, so that might've already changed). However, we do have some of the lowest violence rates, so you can see that despite so many people owning guns, there's no problem with murder or even mass shootings - we more so view gun ownership as a patriotic duty to protect our homeland and of course, shooting is also a sport here. My uncle regularly goes shooting on Sunday mornings and he's a member of our local marksmanship club. I've always wanted to accompany him and try myself in shooting as well. I'd love to know if I was skilled at it.^^
We also have lots of superstitions!! One I've always "practiced" as a child was blowing the seeds off of a dandelion - while doing that you need to make a wish and then the wish is supposed to come true. It's super fun and tbh you can't just leave these dandelions alone without blowing the seeds off okay, it's too tempting not to do so- 😭
16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?
I really hate the "everyone is rich" assumption/stereotype that people seem to have about Switzerland. It is definitely true that Switzerland is one of wealthiest countries in the world and that the standard of living is high - but so is also the inequality. Apparently the top 50% of the population took in 80% of the wealth back in 2013, so you can see that the bottom half only had around 20%. There's still poverty here - only because the country in general is wealthy doesn't mean every citizen is, and while we do have one of the highest minimum wage salaries (and I'm deeply heartbroken when I read about minimum wage in other countries :c) everything around here is super expensive - so that kind of balances it out. Just recently I was in a coffee shop with my friends and I decided to pay for my friend because she paid for me last time we went to a coffee shop together, and we literally only got 2 cups of tea and one piece of cake and I paid over $20 for that alone :') Or for a glass of water you have to pay over $6... like PLEASE :')))
Then the stereotype I kind of agree with is the one that it's hard to make friends around here. We Swiss are by no means impolite - but we might be overly polite in a way that we don't want to bother anyone and therefore are generally more reserved. You will barely get to see strangers engaging in small talk, people prefer to keep to themselves, so it can be harder to get in touch with others. There's also a lot of unwritten rules that you have to be quiet/talk quietly in public transport as to not disturb other passengers and we can get super annoyed when someone enters a bus/train and talks super loudly, as that's considered rude and people will definitely give you the side eye, especially if you're on the phone as it's another unwritten rule that you generally don't make phone calls in public transport - again, as to not disturb other passengers. You also always want to make sure not to sit right next to or opposite someone else if possible, as you want to give the other person their personal space. Also, especially in schools there's generally established small friend groups, so if someone new comes along they can find it super hard to integrate themselves as all the groups are already set.

“Whether it’s the creative ingenuity of their style, their seemingly carefree camaraderie, or their pushing against society’s boundaries of propriety, Weinberger’s kids always seem to evoke a wistful nostalgia coupled with a dose of sexual tension."
In my latest for Huck, we explore Karlheinz Weinberger's unique male gaze in the new book "Karlheinz Weinberger: Photographs Together & Alone" (Song Cave).

The Poplarena
The Albisgütli at the edge of the city is a place with firmly rooted Swiss traditions most impressively shown by the largest peoples’s fair in Zurich: Das Knabenschiessen. Inspired by the spirit of the location we want to expand the existing with a further traditional use: Hornussen.
Following the example of the shooting range we continue a subtle terracing down the site in order to place six pitches in the terrain each one being separated by walls of poplar trees. Not only do the poplar trees help the player aim for the pitch but also secure the earth of the embankment from erosion. At the head of the uniquely shaped pitches the earth embankment forms an arena providing seating for the spectators to watch the players at tee off. Hornussen, also known as farmer’s golf, is tightly entangled with agriculture: In addition to the fact that many of the players are farmers themselves, the sport is also normally practiced on harvested fields or on fallow land.
Building up on this idea we intend to plant willow short rotation coppice (SRC) on the pitches that are currently not in use. Our arena therefore will be shifting up and down the slope following the growing and harvesting cycles of the plantation and the demand of events resulting in a dynamic play between the permanent and the temporary.
Visiting the site we noticed the importance of the area as a transition zone from the city to the nearby forest and Sihl area highly valued by local residents. With light interventions we intend to open up the carpark and enhance the permeability of the whole parklike area. The front end of the pitches that are not in use will be confined by the growing willows forming green niches that contribute to the shaping of the park.
The strong relationship between Hornussen and agriculture shall also leave its traces in the development of the structure. Inspired by the traditional open shed the structure serves on one hand as a storage for the harvested wood chips and on the other hand as space where the athletes will be storing their equipment and where they can change. The space in between both ends is dedicated to lingering providing a protected view over the site. At events these spaces will satisfy the demand for sheltered areas and replace the temporal tents that are usually put up for this occasion.
Resting on concrete foundation the wooden structure will be partially clad in willow wickerwork. This form of cladding brings out favorable filtered ventilation of the interior which is crucial for the drying process of the stored wood chips due to the danger of self inflammation. Furthermore the material can be replaced with harvested wood from the site whenever necessary.
Whilst this weeks focus was mainly on the spacial development of structure and site as well as materialization intents, we want to focus next week on working out precise numbers on the output of the plantation while considering the impact of our structural and landscaping interventions. We then will produce an updated version of our energy drawing as well as, of course, work on the inputs we receive in this weeks tutorials.
