A bold tribute to the Federal Capital in the Bear City on the Aare where Bern, the federal city of Switzerland and the seat of the Federal Assembly and Federal Council since 1848, occupies a spectacular peninsula formed by a dramatic bend in the turquoise Aare River whose emerald glacial waters wrap around the old city on three sides in a natural moat of extraordinary beauty, where the old city of Bern with its 6 kilometres of arcaded sandstone walkways, the Lauben, providing covered pedestrian passage through the medieval street grid, its painted fountains, its Zytglogge clock tower dating from the early 13th century whose astronomical clock and mechanical figures perform a spectacle before each hour, and its Cathedral of St Vincent, the tallest cathedral in Switzerland completed in 1573, is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, where the Bear Park on the banks of the Aare celebrates the bear that has been the heraldic symbol of Bern since the city's foundation by Duke Berchtold V of Zahringen in 1191 according to tradition, and where Albert Einstein lived in Bern from 1902 to 1909 during his years as a patent clerk at the Federal Office of Intellectual Property, writing in his spare time the four papers of the Annus Mirabilis of 1905 that revolutionized physics including the special theory of relativity, E equals mc squared.
