Image description

In spring 1916, all four neighboring countries introduced summer time, but not Switzerland. Only during the Second World War the Federal Council decided to introduce summer time during 1941 and 1942 - with the aim of saving energy. The agricultural village of St. Aubin in the canton of Fribourg, which was taken up on May 20, 1942, refused to comply with the decision of the Federal Council and refused to introduce summer time in the commune. The church clock shows a different time than in the rest of the country.
