Mit einem Verzeichnis der Dekanate und Pfarreien 1928, sowie Stifte und Klöster. ? De facto unterstand die Diözese Basel bis 1792, de jure bis 1801 der Erzdiözese Besançon, seit 1802 ist sie unmittelbar Rom unterstellt. Sie hiess diocesis Basiliensis, 1888?1971 Diözese Basel und Lugano. [.] Der Bischofssitz und die Kathedrale befanden sich bis 1828 in Basel (Münster), seither in Solothurn (ehem. Stiftskirche St. Ursus und Viktor). [.] Der Aufbau des neuen Bistums wurde in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 19. Jahrhunderts behindert vom Gegensatz zwischen den meist liberal dominierten Kantonsregierungen und dem in seiner Mehrheit ultramontanen und politisch konservativen Klerus, mit dem sich an vielen Orten die Gläubigen solidarisierten. Im Kulturkampf (1870?1884) kam es zum offenen Bruch, als 1873 die Mehrheit der Regierungen Bischof Eugène Lachat für abgesetzt erklärte und ihn mit Polizeigewalt von seinem Amtssitz entfernen liess. Im Berner Jura versuchten die Behörden vergeblich, einen staatsloyalen Klerus zu installieren. Eine Folge der Auseinandersetzungen war der Rückzug der konservativen Katholiken in einen sozial geschlossenen Lebensraum mit separaten Institutionen (Zeitungen, Privatschulen, Partei, Vereine), die sich jedoch überdiözesan organisierten. Die liberalen Katholiken integrierten sich dagegen in den erneuerten Bundesstaat. Im 20. Jh. führten demografische Veränderungen zur Gründung neuer katholischer Pfarreien in ehemals geschlossen reformierten Gebieten, verbunden mit einer intensiven kirchlichen Bautätigkeit. (Aus: M.

An engaging album of photos and postcards documenting the activities of a community of Swiss immigrant miners in Prescott, Arizona. In 1912, the newly established state of Arizona supported some 445 active mines, seventy-two concentrating facilities, and eleven smelters. This album documents the activities of a group of Swiss immigrants in Arizona during the first two decades of the twentieth century, centering on the Kaelin family and their claims in the Blue Bell Mine located near Mayer, Arizona in Yavapai County. One image shows a group of couples, identified as "the clan from Switzerland." Swiss miners are known to have prospected the Swastika Mine Claim and the Prescott area. Two images capture a Swiss Immigrant Orchestra: a group of six individuals playing music together outside a building and another group of six miners shown in 1917 posing with their instruments. One of these images is captioned, "Swiss Immigrant orchestra ca. 1906, Yavapai Co., Negative Printed in Switzerland. Mayer, A[rizona]. T[erritory]. Paula Schrader Plays the Fiddle, 2nd from right." Included here are scenes of miners at work and posed with businessmen; mountain and valley views; a man and a woman panning for gold; a group of women hunting, their guns drawn; two women cooking outdoors on a makeshift stove; three cowgirls posing beside a horse, smoking cigars and wearing guns; a milk-delivery man next to a Kaelin & Co. coach; the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Depot in Prescott; a photomontage of Prescott residences; elevated views of Prescott, and underground mining scenes. Other subjects and Arizona locations pictured include the Swastika Claim, Gurley St. in Prescott, Stamp Mill-Tiger Cold Co. in Kingman, Roosevelt Dam in Globe, Granite Creek, and Fort Whipple. A range of color postcards picture Prescott, Arizona; the Pima people; a Pima camp; an Indian School in Phoenix, and more. Identified photographers include W. H. Timerhoff; M. Rieder; H. M. McNeil, and Corbin & Bork. Several names mentioned in the annotations include Bertha Ochsner, Signis Kaelin, and Paula Schrader, providing clues for future researchers. The Kaelin family is believed to have later settled in San Diego in the 1920s. One annotation here suggests the family may have lived and mined in Bisbee, AZ before moving to the Prescott, Arizona area. A revealing accumulation of images documenting the mining experiences of a Swiss immigrant family in Arizona in the early twentieth century.…
