RTCH 15: Burgdorf is nestled in the beautiful Emmental valley with its picturesque hills and the Emme river. In the center, at the highest point above the old town, lies the city’s landmark, Burgdorf Castle from the 11th century. Round Table 15 Burgdorf was founded on the 30. August 1966. We are proud to have our international godfather Round Table 35 Kaiserlautern DE and the national godfather Round Table 10 Thun. It is part of the German speaking Area 5 of Roundtable Switzerland, Kanton Bern.

The Rondel

The latest rondel was updated 2023 when we swaped the middle part from the swiss cross to our city coat of arms. Our table number was embedded in the upper left corner. The colors of the rondel are black, white and gold as you’ll find in the city coat of arms as well. It was updated again in 2025 when we changed to the new rondell style.

Activities and international Presence

As part of Round Table International, we embrace friendship, social engagement, and international tabling.

In 2022, with the support of the Burgdorf Table, Michael Tschannen brought the Mental Health project from Round Table 18 Wiesbaden to Switzerland. Burgdorf startet the project with lectures and a lot of 1:1 discussions. This project was made a national service project in 2024/2026 by national president Cédric Bapst. During this time, the first 12 mental health first aiders were trained by ENSA, financed by Round Table Switzerland.

We enjoy traveling nationally and internationally, so it’s not uncommon to meet a Burgdorf Tabler somewhere in the world. True to the motto: Friends from the first meeting.
