Riedfunken

A comprehensive illustrated book about the Riedfunken is being produced by the Appenzeller Volksfreund publishing house. The iconic spring ritual fire known as the Riedfunken inspired the project group around Innerrhoden artist Roman Signer and his publisher Peter Zimmermann to create this publication. It brings together historical photographs and images from recent decades—many from private archives and photo albums. The history of the tradition and the fascination of the Riedfunken are explored in accompanying texts and in an interview with Roman Signer.
