Bernese Chronicle

Bernese Chronicle

The "Bernese Chronicle" (German: "Chronik der Stadt Bern") contains information about the early history of the city of Bern.

The "Bernese Chronicle" was composed in 1430 by Conrad Justinger from Bern.Müller, p. 758.]

By Justinger’s own account, the "Bernese Chronicle" is primarily based on documents that were stored in the archives of the city of Bern in the early 14th century.Müller, p. 758.] Furthermore, Justinger used the "Narratio conflictus apud Laupen" (Latin: ‘Narrative of the conflict at Laupen’) as well as the annals of the cathedral of Bern ("Cronica de Berno") as sources for his chronicle.Müller, p. 758.]

Even if Justinger’s monumental work appears to have been considerably influenced by older chronicles from Strasbourg, Basle, Constance and Zurich, researchers are generally agreed that the "Bernese Chronicle" constitutes the earliest record of the cruelties of the Habsburg governors towards the population of the Forest Cantons.Switzerland.University of Jena.
