EDITORS COMMENTS
Swiss Wrestlers at a National Festival, Montreux - 8th May, 1904. This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional Swiss wrestling, or Schwingen, as it was practiced during the early 20th century. The image was taken on the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland, during the annual national festival held on 8th May, 1904. Schwingen is a unique and ancient form of wrestling that originated in the Swiss Alps and dates back to the 16th century. Unlike other wrestling styles, it is not contested on the ground but instead involves grappling and pushing opponents while standing. The objective is to force one's opponent out of a circular ring, or Schwingenring, which measures 12 meters in diameter. The wrestlers in this photograph exude strength and determination as they prepare for their matches. Each wrestler wears a traditional costume consisting of a white shirt, red sash, and leather breeches. Their faces are focused and intense, reflecting the fierce competition that lies ahead. The festival in Montreux was an important event in the Swiss wrestling calendar, attracting participants from all over the country. Competitors would gather to test their skills against one another, with the best wrestlers earning the title of national champion. The event also provided an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to experience and celebrate Swiss culture. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when traditional customs and community spirit were at the heart of Swiss identity. The image has been preserved for posterity, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and heritage of Swiss wrestling.
