Regionalverkehr Bern-Solothurn
Regionalverkehr Bern-Solothurn RBS ( en, Regional Transport Bern-Solothurn) is a Swiss public transport company. It operates train, tram, and bus lines between Bern, Solothurn and Worb. There had been a desire for a direct connection between Solothurn and Bern since the middle of the nineteenth century, only partly satisfied by the opening of a standard gauge line between Solothurn and Burgdorf by the '' Emmentalbahn'' in 1876. A campaign for a line via Fraubrunnen finally resulted in a concession granted in 1912 for the ''Elektrische Solothurn-Bern-Bahn (ESB)'' to build a metre-gauge line between Solothurn and Zollikofen. Here it would connect with the ''Bern-Zollikofen-Bahn'', which had been opened in the same year. The full line was opened on 9 April 1916, but for the first eight years, passengers were obliged to change trains in Zollikofen. Public pressure led to the fusion of the two lines into the ''Solothurn-Zollikofen-Bahn (SZB)'' in 1922. The town of Worb had been ...

Coat Of Arms
A coat of arms is a heraldic visual design on an escutcheon (i.e., shield), surcoat, or tabard (the latter two being outer garments). The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement, which in its whole consists of a shield, supporters, a crest, and a motto. A coat of arms is traditionally unique to an individual person, family, state, organization, school or corporation. The term itself of 'coat of arms' describing in modern times just the heraldic design, originates from the description of the entire medieval chainmail 'surcoat' garment used in combat or preparation for the latter. Rolls of arms are collections of many coats of arms, and since the early Modern Age centuries, they have been a source of information for public showing and tracing the membership of a noble family, and therefore its genealogy across time. History Heraldic designs came into general use among European nobility in the 12th century. Sys ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
