The municipality of Riehen near Basel was the first municipality in Switzerland to introduce women's voting rights. On 29 September 1958, the first citizens' meeting took place with the participation of women entitled to vote. 242 men and 224 women have gathered in the hall of the country inn in Riehen. Seven citizens' councilors had to be elected. On that day, Switzerland's first female Citizen's Councillor Trudy Spaeth-Schweizer was elected to office with 336 votes.
