Sit-down strike of Warths women The Carthusian monastery in Ittingen (Ittingen Charterhouse) was always an important part of Warth. The inhabitants, and in particular the women, could attend church services there. In 1461, after a crisis in the Augustinian monaste-ry, foreign Carthusian monks took over the im-poverished Ittingen. They lived according to their rules of strict seclusion and the church was closed to the inhabitants of Warth. The furious women, having forced their way into the church, held a sit-down strike and resisted all efforts to drive them out until they were pro-mised a chapel for themselves in Warth. The prior was legally bound by the legislative and executive council of the Swiss confederacy to build the Chapel in Warth.

Bürgerort – Heimatort – The Swiss inherit their Heimatort, which is far more important than their place of birth, from their father. Although many Swiss have never even been to their Bürgerort, it is often necessary to give this information on official documents and the family records are kept at the civil registry office there.

Many members of the Haag family have held their wedding in the well-known little church in Warth.
