History

19th century

Der Bund's first edition

The newspaper was founded by

Freischarenzüge – the Liberal insurrections of 1844–45 that led to the 1847 Sonderbund War, a Swiss civil war.[5] The newspaper's name, Der Bund, translates as "The Union", but is also shorthand for the Swiss Confederation
, the democratic federal state established in 1848 by the Liberal victors of the civil war.

The newspaper was first published on 1 October 1850 with a daily circulation (including Sundays) of 1,000, and was sold by subscription for 26 batzen for three months. Its circulation soon grew nationwide, briefly rising to more than 10,000 during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. By 1875, according to the conservative Intelligenzblatt, Der Bund was Switzerland's leading news medium.[5][6]

It was initially intended to be a neutral, national newspaper modeled after the British newspaper

cabinet meetings to the newspaper, and Fornerod even drew a 1,000-franc salary from the newspaper for this service.[5]

In 1893, the newspaper introduced one of the first

press agency.[5]

In 1897, a second daily edition was introduced, not to be abandoned until 1967.[5]
