Company description and purpose of company Kantonale Verwaltung Nidwalden

In 1291 the people from the valley of Uri, Schwyz and Nidwalden concluded an alliance that was to lead to the formation of the Swiss Confederation. Admittedly, almost no state structures existed at that time. These only began to develop and towards the end of the 14th century reached a level at both regional and municipal level that had only changed marginally by the end of the Old Confederation: all political powers (such as rural community, district administrator, weekly council, authority Lords, courts, village urbs and parishes) were now institutionalized. The development of the territory kept pace with this development with the suppression of the feudal rights of foreigners and the annexation of the Engelberg Alps. However, Obwalden and Nidwalden never formed a political unit. In 1291 Nidwalden entered the federal government alone with Uri and Schwyz (Obwalden was added later). Different paths were also taken in building the state structures. In the 14th and 15th centuries, rural people from both valleys were sometimes called together to discuss important common interests. Later that was not done either, so far they had grown apart that they preferred to do things together with the people of Uri, Schwyz or Lucerne than with each other. Nidwalden was regarded as neutral in the political disputes after the Burgundian Wars, which ended in the Stans Declaration of 1481, while Obwalden was viewed as partisans. Or Nidwalden, with Uri and Schwyz, alone conquered the Ennet mountain bailiwicks of Bellinzona, Riviera and Blenio in Ticino. The Nidwalden self-image was largely religious. The position of the church was strong, the Christian Nidwalden a reality. The most famous Nidwalden statesman, Landammann Melchior Lussi, even represented the whole of Central Switzerland at the Council of Trento and played a key role in the renewal movement. It is therefore not surprising that the reforms of the Catholic Church fell on fertile ground here. Economically, Nidwalden remained an agricultural country until the 20th century. Cattle and hard cheese were mainly exported to northern Italy. Although the country could not feed the population in the late Middle Ages, a small industrial zone was only created in the Snot hole. Soldier services and later emigrations to Alsace, to Württemberg, and later to Prussia, Russia and overseas contributed to the alleviation of the population pressure. Towards the end of the 18th century, over 95 percent of the resident population were still peasants and more than 85 percent lived in the municipality in which they had citizenship. The ideas of the French Revolution therefore found few supporters here. The majority had a say in the rural community and in the urts assemblies that one could only dream of elsewhere. As a result, Nidwalden rejected the Helvetic Constitution, the provisions of which were ideally forward-looking, but in reality meant a political step backwards for most of the country's residents. Nidwalden had to pay for the rejection on September 9, 1798 with the slaughter of over 400 people by French troops and the arbitrary destruction of several hundred buildings. The favorable geographic location of the canton of Nidwalden makes tourism an important economic activity. Lake Lucerne and the mountains offer a wide range of leisure and holiday opportunities in both summer and winter. The lakeside communities have a variety of water sports and the foothills of the Alps are well developed with mountain railways. The excursion and holiday destinations can be reached easily, quickly and individually. Be it the adventure mountain Klewenalp, the Blumenberg Stanserhorn, the Titlis glacier, the pre-alpine region of Bannalp, the sophisticated Bürgenstock with the world's highest outdoor lift to the Hammetschwand or the summer bobsleigh on Wirzweli. The canton of Nidwalden offers an abundance of natural beauties, sports and adventure activities. With the inclusion of local peculiarities such as the Bähnli safari, the Glasi Hergiswil or 'Sleeping in the straw', signs are set for the implementation of gentle tourism.
