Pictures of the building history from the time of the hotel boom from 1860 - 1913

Hanspeter von Allmen (81) comes from Lauterbrunnen and lives in Interlaken. He has built up his private archive over many years. This includes a large number of photographs, mainly from Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. His work began with the purchase of a large collection of postcards.

Thanks to easy accessibility, first by boat and then by train, the number of travelers increased enormously from 1860 onwards. The guesthouses were expanded into hotels. A huge amount of building activity began, which only ended with the First World War.

The collection of pictures has brought to light many stories about the owners and operators of the houses, changes of ownership, structural changes such as demolitions, conversions and new buildings.
The special exhibition shows a selection from the collection.

Hanspeter von Allmen's entire collection can be viewed on the website interlaken-damals.ch.
