Company description and purpose of company Kantonale Verwaltung St. Gallen

The canton of St. Gallen was created by Napoleon in 1803 at the request of the Swiss MP Karl Müller-Friedberg. The area of ​​the canton emerged from the merger of the remaining pieces of the Helvetic cantons Linth and Säntis minus the restored cantons Glarus and Appenzell. The newly formed canton of St. Gallen joined the Swiss Confederation as an equal federal member together with the other new cantons of Thurgau, Vaud, Aargau, Graubünden and Ticino. The briefly on the st. Gallic territory, the Helvetic cantons Linth and Säntis were dissolved. The young canton adopted its first cantonal constitutions in 1803 and 1814 and was able to assert itself in the post-Napoleonic period against the territorial claims of the former Prince Abbot of St. Gallen, Pankraz Forster, on the one hand, and against separatist parts of the canton on the other. In the constitution of 1814, due to the confessional heterogeneity of the canton, matters such as church, marriage and school matters were not handed over to the state, but to the two (Catholic and Reformed) so-called 'cantonal parts', so that in addition to the general legislative Grand Council (today the Cantonal Council ) also a Catholic and a reformed Grand Council was introduced (denominational dualism). In 1831 a representative democratic constitution was introduced, which with the 'people's veto' already showed the first direct democratic features and replaced the previous oligarchic regime. In 1861, after violent disputes, the state took over the previously church school system. The strong denominationalisation of the canton shaped St. Gallen well into the 20th century. In 1875 the 'people's veto' was replaced by the optional referendum (the people's right to object to laws). In the new constitution of 1890, people's rights were modernized with the introduction of the people's initiative (right of the people to propose laws), the facilitation of the referendum and the popular election of the government council. This Basic Law was valid, with many changes, until the current constitution of 2001, which primarily summarized the numerous constitutional innovations of the past hundred years and sealed the reorganization of the canton. The manageable metropolis of Eastern Switzerland has a charming, traffic-free old town. The landmark is the cathedral with the abbey library, in which valuable, partly handwritten documents that are over a thousand years old are kept. The entire Abbey District was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In the old town, the numerous town houses from the 16th to 18th centuries, decorated with magnificent and often brightly painted oriels, stand out. The city's gastronomy is also varied. It ranges from the traditional first-floor restaurant to the cozy street café and invites you to linger and enjoy local and international specialties. The city is also an ideal starting point for hikes in the Appenzeller and St. Gallerland.
