Die Spätzünder - 100 Jahre Automobilismus in Graubünden

An event organized by TujetschVIVAcultura
Speaker: Dr. Simon Bundi, historian, museum curator at Emil Frey Classics AG

It was not until 1925 that Graubünden became the last canton to allow cars on its territory. Until then, the roads were reserved exclusively for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-drawn or cattle-drawn vehicles!

In view of the ban on cars that was lifted 100 years ago, the Institute for Cultural Research Graubünden launched a research project that will result in the publication "The Century of the Automobile" in summer 2025. Graubünden 1925-2025. As project manager and co-author, Simon Bundi now presents a photo and film journey through 100 years of motoring in an Alpine canton where motor racing, tourism and road construction arrived late, but all the more intensively.
