| - HISTORIA |
|
Schaffhausen was a city state in the Middle Ages, documented to have struck
its own coins starting in 1045. For a time it was under Habsburg domination,
but regained its independence in 1415. It allied itself with Zurich in 1457,
and became a full member of the Swiss Confederation in 1501. The first
railroad came to Schaffhausen in 1857.
Schaffhausen is located in a finger of Swiss territory surrounded on three sides by Germany. On April 1, 1944, Schaffhausen suffered a bombing raid by United States Army Air Forces aircraft which strayed from German airspace into neutral Switzerland. While the United States immediately offered a million dollars in reparations, the raid occurred only a month after the Swiss Air Force had shot down an American bomber. |
