Zähringer memorial, Bronze memorial in Nydegghof, Switzerland.

The Zähringer memorial is a monument to Berchtold V of Zähringen in the Nydegghöfli, next to the Nydeggkirche in Bern. It was cast at the Royal Foundry in Munich and unveiled on 8 May 1847 on the Münsterplattform. Karl Emanuel Tscharner made four bronze plaques for the pedestal designed by Jakob Friedrich Studer. In 1968 the monument was re-erected on a new base in the Nydegghöfli, and the plaques were set into the retaining wall of the Nydeggasse.

Cast in the Royal Foundry in Munich, the monument was unveiled on 8 May 1847 on the Münsterplattform. Karl Emanuel Tscharner made four bronze plaques for the pedestal designed by Jakob Friedrich Studer. At the end of 1961 it was removed from the platform and in 1968 re-erected on a new base in the Nydegghöfli; the plaques were set into the retaining wall of the Nydeggasse.

The memorial honours Berchtold V of Zähringen, the last duke of the line, to whom Bern's founding is attributed. Its four bronze plaques by Karl Emanuel Tscharner were fixed to the pedestal designed by Jakob Friedrich Studer; since 1968 they have been set into the retaining wall of Nydeggasse, while the figure stands in the Nydegghöfli.

The memorial stands in Nydegghof and is easily reached on foot through several paths in the city center. The square remains openly accessible and sits within one of Bern's oldest and most frequented neighborhoods.

The four bronze plaques made by Karl Emanuel Tscharner no longer sit on the monument: when it was moved to the Nydegghöfli in 1968, they were set into the retaining wall of the Nydeggasse. The statue itself was cast in the Royal Foundry in Munich and unveiled on the Münsterplattform on 8 May 1847.
