Resumo

The animal doctor Rudolf Trachsel (1804 - 1894) from Rüeggisberg was an outstanding representative of his guild. Not only a successful practitioner and mentor of the veterinary school in Berne, he was also politically involved on a communal and cantonal level. In addition to this, he was an eminent philanthropist, who brought light into the "poorhouse of the canton of Berne". He actively and successfully fought against poverty and misery by teaching people to save, and for this purpose he founded in Rüeggisberg the region's first bank 175 years ago.
