Yesterday, the children’s procession, seemed to be the Böögg is still the same as always. White, compact, broom in Hand, bow tie, pipe in his mouth and on the head of the 3,40-meters-high bachelor wore cups in an inverted Wood.
But if it is serious, it appears this year with a hat. With a special hat. In honor of Zwingli, he wear a slouch hat to wear as the Zurich reformer Huldrych Zwingli apparently used.

And the Böögg to LOB tonight the hat. This is the idea of an Ecumenical up gleisten project that starts with this action. She was born on a train journey between Zurich and Bern.
great Cathedral pastor Christoph Sigrist discussed at the time with the Zug Council of churches präsidentn Rolf Berweger about the decisive importance of Zwingli in Zurich. “Suddenly it was completely clear that Zwingli, in this anniversary year, belongs in some Form to the Sechseläuten,” says Sigrist. But that should be more than folklore.
Böögg, exceptionally, with cap
But another thought, in the wirbligen great Cathedral pastor for some time rumbling came. It is annoying that the activities surrounding the 500-year anniversary of Zwingli move strong within the circles of art, culture and Church, and with the exception of Zwingli, the film is not a wide audience responds.

“I lobbed the hat,” he said. And thus, the second part of the action was born. The Böögg is to wear the Zwingli-hat, and it’s supposed to LOB him. He managed to gain the Guild master’s Assembly for the idea that the Böögg is exceptionally provided with an additional piece of clothing.
“The connection between Zwingli and the guilds is very tight,” writes Victor Rosser, the media managers of the Central Committee of the guilds of Zurich early today in a media release. “Without the resolute Call of the guilds, which held 500 years ago, the political Power in Zurich, would have had the Reformation hardly so quickly.”
Zwingli rises from the Base
But not before lifting it Zwingli only the hat, he will also rise from the Base. This is the third part of the project, which will be supported by all three country – as well as the city of churches.
a Minimum of twelve life-size figures of Zwingli, which are formed after the sculpture of the reformer, standing in front of the water-Church, between August and November, throughout the city. Such Zwingli, also in the outer districts, and to invite the “Zwingli-Gsprööch”.
“the num of topics with a social orientation under the Motto Em Zwingli lifts’s de Huet,” says Christoph Sigrist, who is a pastor at the grossmünster ex officio, a descendant of Zwingli. To him, it lip the hat, that the Church was no longer rooted in society. “For Zwingli the fundamental.

That in such conversations, Zwingli can also be in the criticism to come, shows another example, which is why it lifts Sigrist the hat: “We have come in dealing with dissidents is still a lot more than it was Zwingli the Anabaptists.”
But to return to the six bells: What would have thought of the stern reformer of a sumptuous Feast such as the six bells? “He would have had his joy,” pastor Sigrist sure. Zwingli, had certainly come regularly together with the Guild of gentlemen to a Trunk and had not locked against folk festivals. In fact, the people has survived feast for the city saints Felix and Regula up today: as Knabenschiessen.
special guest from the Alsace region
something else Zwingli would have approved The friendship to Strasbourg. With such a slouch hat, as the Böögg is wearing today, is likely to be encountered in the Zurich reformation in 1529, also in Strasbourg.
He was on the way to Marburg, where he was to meet with Luther to a reconciliation conversation, and finally had a falling, from the 6. to 18. September. There he was received as a Hero, and preached in the Cathedral.
A sword as a gift
this brings us To the second feature of this year’s six ringing for the First time, is a non-Swiss guest of honor of the party: Strasbourg. Yesterday at the children’s parade, a delegations from Strasbourg took part: Small dancers, a children’s choir and a Europe-flags-wielding Delegation from the youth Council. Today, the Alsatian city will be even more present. Also at the airport of Strasbourg is strongly represented.
The city of Strasbourg is said to have given Zwingli by the way for the perilous journey is a sword with the coat of arms of Strasbourg – such keeps Yes also the Zwingli Statue in front of the water to the Church in the Hand. This he wore – at least in the legend, even at his death in 1531 in Kappel am Albis on the field of battle.
