In Swiss politics and the history of the Old Swiss Confederacy, a ''Talschaft'' is the body of voting population in a certain valley (as it were English ''dale-ship''). The grouping of voters by valley rather than municipality is a tradition harking back to before the establishment of the current administrative divisions with the foundation of Switzerland as a federal state in 1848. A ''Talschaft'' will typically include voters of several municipalities. For example, the ''Talschaft'' of Lauterbrunnen Valley includes the voting population of the municipalities of Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Mürren, Stechelberg, Gimmelwald and Isenfluh. Similarly, the Talschaft of Hasli consists of six miunicipalities, Gadmen, Guttannen, Hasliberg, Innertkirchen, Meiringen and Schattenhalb. In this case, the ''Talschaft'' is coterminous with the Bernese district of Oberhasli. Historically, ''Leute der Talschaft'' is the traditional German translation of the Latin term ''homines vallis'' in the Federal Charter of 1291, literally "the people of the valley". Thus, the enumeration of the confererates, :''homines vallis Uranie universitasque vallis de Switz ac communitas hominum Intramontanorum Vallis Inferioris'' is rendered as :"the people of the ''Talschaft'' Uri, the entirety of the valley of Schwyz and the community of people of the ''Talschaft'' of Unterwalden" ==See also== *Reichsvogt *Waldstätte *Landvogtei (Switzerland) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talschaft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
