Good to know about Schaffhausen

Schaffhausen's earliest surviving documentary mention is a royal charter from 1045 granting Count Eberhard of Nellenburg the right to mint coins there. The settlement already existed; the document records a privilege rather than its physical foundation. The original charter, written on calfskin parchment, survives in the city archives.

Albert Einstein worked briefly as a private tutor in Schaffhausen before joining the Swiss patent office. Arriving in 1901, he taught at Jakob Nüesch's private educational establishment and initially lived in his employer's house on Fulachstrasse. The position lasted only about four and a half months, rather than the year Einstein had anticipated.

A Schaffhausen legend explains the Munot's evening bell through a knight's fatal homecoming from a crusade. Lost in a storm near his castle, he drowned in a swollen stream. His widow supposedly endowed a silver bell to guide travellers and commemorate his death. This is a recorded local legend, not an established historical event.

The Munot's summer balls preserve a formal quadrille tradition introduced in 1886. Couples face one another in rows and perform prescribed sequences rather than dancing independently. The roughly twenty-minute dance includes named figures and a circuit around the fortress platform, turning a defensive structure into the setting for a continuing communal ballroom custom.
